Youtube

Youtube has always been my favorite way to learn a new skill.  You can learn just about anything on youtube.  If you want to know how to change your brakes on your car for instance you can just type your model and make of your car and how the change the brakes and the probably have a video on how to do it.  Like this for example.

Or say you wanted to learn how to throw a boomerang the right way so that it will come back to you.


Or some of my personal how do you build a rocket powered golf club?

There is a whole slew of videos that you can watch out there some of them are completely useless but if you are careful you can find some real gems that are not only educational but also fun at the same time. Youtube for me has always been a go to if I have a student that was absent in a class and they need to catch up I usually try to send them to a youtube video that they can watch that will catch them up at least a little and then I try to fill in the gaps as we go.  I also use it quite often when I want to show a demo to my students but can't find or the equipment is too expensive.  I have always love using youtube and I think it will be a part of my teaching and personal life for a long time to come.  It is so convenient to not only learn something new but is a great tool when teaching something new as well.

What is social bookmarking?

Social bookmarking? So this week we are looking at the idea of social bookmarking.  At first glance I thought this was a cool idea.  I am always wondering if there are better articles out there for a subject than just the ones that you can google first.  I think this could be a way to get past the first page of googling and get to some more interesting article.  The website that we are using is called Diigo.  Basically you get on there set up an account with them and then you can start bookmarking articles that you would like to read later or whatever.  The free version that you get has some limitations but is really not that bad.  there is also a free for educators version that has less limitations and would really be useful to help students start a research project because the real advantage to a site like Diigo is that you can make groups.  You can set up your own group or you can join another group that is already set up.  There are all types of groups like for instance there is

Motor with sonar

So this week’s challenge was to build something that involved motors and sensors. I decided to make mine out of a servo and a sonar sensor. Here is the code... #include <Servo.h>  Servo servo1;  long distance;  long duration;  int trigPin = 10;  int echoPin = 9;  void setup() {  servo1.attach(8);  pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); }  void loop() {  ultra();  servo1.write(0);  if(distance <= 10){  servo1.write(90);  }  }  void ultra(){  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);  delay(2);  digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);  delay(10);  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);  distance = duration*0.034/2;  }  This challenge didn't seem to hard to program but I was swamped with other work that I had to do for my job so I was unable to build the circuit this week to actually test to see if it worked.  I think it should have but I will try it next week but since this is due today I thought tha

Arduino Analog input for a digital output

Image
So this week was a bit more challenging in fact I never got it to work exactly the way that I wanted to despite several days of trying and failing.  I guess I just found a whole ton of ways to not make a led get brighter with a variable resistor. Anyways the goal this week was to make a LED brighter by wiring a analog input from a variable resistor.  So anyway maybe there is someone that will read this blog and help me to understand why it didn't work the way that it was suppose to. So here is the code that I used to make this project try and work. int led= 13; int knob = A0; int output = 0; void setup() {   pinMode(led, OUTPUT); } void loop() {   int val = analogRead(knob);   output = map(val, 0, 1023, 0, 255);   analogWrite(led, output); } Here is a video of it "working" So as you can see from that video that it didn't work as intended so I thought I would play around with it for a while.  It took me several days of changing the ports trying di
