Apple Pencil Tech Article 9/25

     You may never have seen Apple Pencil before, but you already know how to use it. From the first moment, it does what you expect, and then far more. Apple Pencil gives you a variety of tools in a single instrument.
     The lightning- fast responsiveness of Apple Pencil separates it from other creative tools. That's because its latency has been reduced to an almost imperceptible level.
     iPad Pro knows whether you're using your finger or Apple Pencil. There's only milliseconds between the image you have in your mind and the one you see on the display.
     Just 15 seconds provides you enough charge for half an hour of use. A full charge gets you twelve hour's worth of scribbling, sketching, annotating, and editing.  article

Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

     One of my classes is geometry, taught by Ms.Ames(her page). So far in her class we went over some basic algebra as a review and started to learn other things. I have learned things like colliner and coplanar. They have to do with lines and planes. What I expect to learn in her class are things about graphs, lines, area, volume, etc. So far what I have expected to learn is being taught. Ms.Ames seems to be like a good teacher so I am glad I have her.
     In her class we use TTM(Think Through Math), Khan Academy, and something called remind. We signed up for remind on our phones and it sends us texts of homework that we have and dates of upcoming tests and quizzes. TTM and Khan Academy are both used for learning purposes. They are good for practicing what's we are learning in class.

     It's weird to be in the class because it is a tenth grade class and I am a ninth grader. There a couple of other ninth graders with me but it is still awkward. There are some kids that are in tenth grade from soccer so I sit and talk with them. The class is a bit slow which makes it easier than I anticipated.
