Computer Lab was full of fun and learning this week. We watched an amazing video about the new computer that raspberry pi made; it is completely stupefying to me! I can't imagine how much advanced technology is to allow so many different activities to be performed in such a tiny object! The interesting thing is how cheap that computer is; it is only a little bit more costly than my remote control helicopter! Anyway, we worked with another autodidactism site today called "Bitsize," by BBC. Mr. Jost told us to start out on math, and I went to the algebra section. There, I learned some simple Algebra formulas. After a while, when we were told that we could go to Language Arts or Science, I learned a little bit about forces such as gravity and how they work. Finally, Mr. Jost asked us to do him a "favor" by visiting a site with math games. During this time, I played a game in which we saved the world by plotting on a graph by finding the x and y relationship between the Earth and the meteor. At first I didn't understand it and failed, but later I re-figured it out (I had done this on Khan Academy during winter vacation). I have learned many important skills in computer lab today that will help me in the future.
