RBI Baseball '14

My tech article this week is on the new video game RBI Baseball '14. The reason why this game is so special is because this is the first game to ever be made by a one of the major sports leagues. Major League Baseball or MLB for short has developed and published this game for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and has released it on Apple Mobile devices. The reason why MLB has produced this game was mainly in part of 2K's drop of the partnership with MLB. 2K was the hottest selling MLB game on the market, up until lackluster sales in 2011. Now the only baseball game on the market is MLB: The Show, which is a Playstation exclusive. So RBI Baseball will give Xbox fans a little love. The game plans to release this Spring.

My Favorite Restaurant

     My favorite restaurant in the area is a hot dog joint called Rutt's Hut. I have been going to Rutt's Hut ever since I could remember. It has been a favorite of my dad and mine ever since I could walk. My dad would always take me when we were in the area. Rutt's Hut is in Clifton, New Jersey right off of Route 21. At Rutt's Hut they serve some of the best hot dogs on the planet. The reason why Rutt's Hut is famous is because they deep-fry their hot dogs to the point were they crack, their hot dogs now have the name "rippers" because of this rip.

     My personal favorite to order there is always two rippers and fries with gravy, a classic at Rutt's Hut. The company was owned many years ago by Royal Rutt and his wife Anna. They then sold the company to Nicholas Karagiorgis in late 1974. He now owns one of the top hot dog joints in New Jersey.
     This is one of my favorite's because of the history of me and my dad going there and having such great memories. Whenever I go there something good comes out of it. If this restaurant where to close down then I would be devastated, however I know a lot of other hot dog joints to go to, so I am not too worried. For example Hiram's of Fort Lee and The Hot Dog House in Carlstadt.



   

   Rutt's Hut is still and will always be my favorite hot dog place to go to. The history and fun I have from going there. When I grow up and have children I plan on bringing them and showing them the wonder that is deep-fried hot dogs. If I haven't persuaded you enough to love Rutt's Hut, then listen to these guys. So go on down to Rutt's Hut and enjoy the best hot dog of your life.

                                                            

Mozilla CEO Steps Down

Just ten days after taking his new position, Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich has stepped down from his position. His resignation comes from a controversy that had just come out recently about his anti-gay past. He had donated $1,000 to a team that had been campaigning against gay marriage. The story had come out in 2012, but really came out this week when he had been promoted to CEO of the major browser. Maybe Mozilla should really look into who they are hiring next time.

1. The purpose of this wiki is to inform people about the distractions and disruptions commonly found in a classroom. It lists prevelant technologies that disrupt students in the classroom, and it shows the original problem and wat it has evolved into. For example, they say instant messaging has evolved from face to face interaction.

3. It was created by multiple members of the site, adn its purpose was to inrom people of the usual things that disrupt students in the classroom.

4. I would definitely add cell phones because the technolgy on them is outstanding and always growing that they are very disruptive.

5. I learned that technology isn't always a good thing and that it evolved from very little over time. Sometimes it is good in school but ther times it is very distracting.

6. How to pass high school math because i am pretty good at math and I know its a rough topic for some so it will be very helpful in my opinion.

7. They could help student on many topics and mae teaching in the classroom a lot easier becuase everyone can help by adding their own correct input.

4/1 Wikis

1. How can a wiki be used in your current classes? (tip: Use the Internet, here is a good source). Be specific to your classes!
2. What are the benefits of using a wiki?
3. How can we create one in this class and utilize it?
4. What experience do you have using or creating wikis?

1. For chemistrry class using wikipedia and its interactive periodic table is one of the best things to use on the internet. The periodic table of elements on that page is very useful because it is constantly being updated with new info because new info comes out every day about each element. Scientists discover new things about each element every day, and Wikipedia with its over 21,000,000 users aqre constantly updating the page so I get the mst recent information about my topic.

2. Wikis provide the most recent information every day about millions of different topics. The 21,000,000 million users are constantly updating and fixing everything on each individual topic. These people use reliable sources and always have their citations under the actual article. Wikis are a great starting point for research.

3. Wikis could be very helpful to use in a class. We could al post our notes onto a wiki so we can collaborate and work togeter to make the perfect notes for us to study and learn the new topics that we get taught each day.

4. I have plenty of experience using wikis, I have used wikipedia for as long as I can remember just because of how helpful and informative it is. I have never created or edited a wiki but I look forward to doing it in the future
