My Review for Common Craft: Credit Card Responsibility

Common Craft: Credit Card Responsibility

https://www.commoncraft.com/video/credit-card-responsibility

Time: 8:15pm

Date: Tuesday the 27/7/15

This video shows and teaches you about the highs and lows about purchasing a credit card, the responsibilities you have to make and the consequences when you don't fulfil those requirements and responsibilities. It shows two different people, 1 willing to fulfil the responsibilities and pay back the bank on time so she has no interest fees on her account and another who chooses not to repay the bank and ends up with double the repay money in his account because of the interest fees.

you could defiantly use this video in a particular subject in school,business and law; helping you understand the law of what happens when you do and don't repay the bank and the business side; how the interest works with different people and their circumstances.

A challenge that I faced trying to access this video was actually trying to locate the video preferences (which is all the way down at the bottom of the home page). they have a big list of the amount of money it takes to be a member and how to access and apply for a membership, which for me is irrelevant considering this website will be a one or two thing and I'm not a teacher. 

This is a screenshot of the start of the home page on common craft.

Though I must say that the video was quite informative and clear about credit cards. Not only is it a video but it also has a transcript option if you're out in public and don't have headphones and what it is trying to teach option when you press the transcript button.

This is a screenshot of the transcript and video info option

 

I hope this post helped you realise the pros and cons about credit card responsibility and gave you some insight into what common craft can help you achieve and in what different subjects at school you can use it for.

Thankyou for reading my blog, see you in the next one

My Review for Steve Silberman: The Forgotten History of Autism

Steve Silberman: the forgotten history of autism

time: 9:05

www.ted.com/talks/steve_silberman_the_forgotten_history_of_autism

This video is about the forgotten history about autism and the different papers and ideas on what autism is, how many people are affected, how it happens and the different ways we can cure it (Some of these things we are still trying to find out). The video talks about the psychiatrists and scientists trying to prove their theories without any real evidence.  It tells us that most other scientists were scared to even think about what’s going on in the mind of and autistic child or adult. Though child psychiatrist Leo Kanner and psychologist Lorna Wing and colleague Judith Gould were trying to prove all the questions that people were asking out not trying to find out. Steve Silberman talks about how Kanner published a paper about 11 patients that were supposedly autistic, playing in private worlds and ignoring everybody around them, even their parents. They could be happy and amuse themselves for hours by flapping their hands in front of their faces, though as soon as things like their favorite toy was being moved from its usual position they started panicking. Kanner was basing his progress in this discovery with patients brought to his clinic, he speculated that autism is quite rare. In 1950 he was the world’s leading authority on the subject, saying that he had only seen less that than 150 true cases of this profound syndrome, he was even fielding referrals as far away as South Africa. Some of his diagnoses were incredibly selective and some of his theories didn’t pan out properly. For example; he discouraged giving any diagnosis’s to children who have seizures. (Though now we know that epilepsy plays a big part and is very common in autism. In the 1970’s other psychiatrists and psychologists were trying to prove his theory if his theory of autism was true or not and was as rare as he said it was. Lorna and Judith undertook a study of autism prevalence in the general population. They went around they suburb Camberwell in London and what they saw was that Kanner’s theory was way to narrow, while the reality was much larger than Kanner expected. Silberman ends the talk with a quote from Zosia Zaks an autistic woman stating "We need all hands on deck to right the ship of humanity”.

One thing that was interesting was that it took people over 50 years to work out what autism is, how it works and how it reacts with different people.

The presenter, Steve Silberman made the talk interesting by referring back to the past history and referring back to what the psychologists and psychiatrist have said in the past. Not many people think that history is interesting, though I was intrigued by this topic.

This site can be useful for kids education in a class for science learning about diseases and cures. It can also be useful to your education because of the amount of history and backlash that autism has gotten, this will let you think and look deeper into autism.

The challenges I faced with this program and the video was that I was in a classroom surrounded by 18 other people and didn't have headphones, so I had to quietly listen with my face nearly pressed against the computer screen, though I overcame the struggle because one of my classmates showed me that u could get subtitles and read the subtitles instead of listening to them talk. When I relised that dilemma solution it was much easier to work. The subtitles solution is a great alternative if (like me) you have more people around you.

Here is a screenshot of the transcript you can read.

I hope this post helped you realise the pros and cons about the forgotten history of autism and gave you some insight into what ted,com can help you achieve and in what different subjects at school you can use it for.

My Review for: Blogger

Blogger
Blogger is an online program and a journal where people across the world can experience what the blogger feels like, sees etc. This can help informing friends and family members about their life. It can help with giving advise to subscribers and people who visit the website.

This is a picture of my finished product of my blog on blogger.

This website is great to use in different subjects in school. For example you could use this in an Information Technology class like I'm currently doing. You can use this to review different websites and apps, and let people know about the pros and cons of the website or app. This website can also be used in a Science class, when doing a practical you need to right down the results and what better place to do it than on blogger.com where you can share your answers with others and help them with whats was hard etc. Blogger.com can also be used in an English class when writing an essay, right it on blogger, this can also help inform people on what they essays about and help them if they're stuck writing the same essay or an essay like it. Overall blogger.com is a great website for school work, not only for the blogger but also for the viewer.

Some challanges did stand in my way when trying to log onto blogger.com and getting over it was quite a big struggle. Because blogger.com works through google, people in my class were trying to all log onto blogger.com and it ought it was being hacked so it shut everybody out for the rest of the lesson, so that was a pain. I also don't quite like the way when you first log into blogger.com and it shows you if you want to view your log, write a new blog etc. I and many of my fellow classmates had troubles in what link to press to write a new blog.

I hope this post helped you realise the pros and cons about blogger.com and gave you some insight into what blogger.com can help you achieve and in what different subjects at school you can use it for.

Thankyou for reading my blog, see you in the next one.
