Your Eye Color

Posted by Sianneh Vesslee in Science and Society · Best · E Band on

  • Science: What is the science behind this topic? How do you explain the science to the general public? How reliable are your sources? Can you verify this science with other sources?


  • Eye color is determined by the variations in the human’s eyes.The genes associated with eye color are determined by the production, transport, and storage of a pigment called melanin. My source is extremely reliable because it is a site with a .gov, meaning it was created by the government. Yes, it can be verified with other sources.  


  • Society: How does this impact society? Are certain people more impacted than others? Does it affect society in a negative or positive manner? What are some of the different viewpoints on this topic? How might this develop in the future?


  • This directly impacts society in how you view the person and how the person looks when brought into the world. You also see a pattern in who normally has a certain color eye, and when there’s someone who doesn’t have that same color, people notice that.


  • Self: What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you identify with a certain viewpoint? How does your culture or upbringing influence your thoughts on this topic? What suggestions do you have on this issue?


  • I think it’s very interesting that most black people have brown eyes because of their genes that were passed down. I don’t really identify with any viewpoint, since eye color is eye color. I suggest that we look at things more important than eye color, because eye color doesn’t affect anyone’s lifestyle in a meaningful way.

What do these time differences have to do with us? Lets find out with these young fellows.

A birthday, lets get this done and hopefully avoid that awkwardness.

What’s the deal with days and when these tests are, let’s get that done together so we don’t have to forget and get a surprise later.

Join us on this horrific waiting experience with Aspen and how he had gotten through accidentally spilling the customers drink.

    Our second video is about the weather and how to say it in spanish. Diamond plays a meteorologist and me and Octavieon are normal people outside. Diamond says on the news it's going to be hot but Octavieon didn't see the news and ends up bundling up. Then I walk pass him and he ask if its so post to be cold and I end it by saying no.

My Home Network

Posted by Mackenzie Hopkins in Technology - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on

There are 13 devices that are hooked up to my home network. These are our tv, x-box 1, wii, ipad, our cell phones, printer and laptops. I learned a lot about home networks through this project, like how information gets to and from your phone and computers. It surprised me to find out how your’e able to block content you can see on your computer. If I was to tell someone what they needed to know about having an ISP, it would be to do your research first to make sure you know what your’e doing. Also don’t be afraid to ask for help.

          Our first video is all about the alphabet and learning it. Diamond is the teacher while William, me and Octavieon are the students learning the alphabet in spanish. As Diamond tells us its time to learn the alphabet we each say a different letter. At the end we all come together to end it and Diamond says the final letter.                                

Siegel Home Network

  • explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection. I have an xfinity modem, and it has a built in router. The router has two different networks. All of my family's streaming/gaming devices go onto one network, and all of our computers/phones go onto another network.

  • reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? I've had a lot of previous knowledge on setting up a L.A.N. before so I knew how my network was set up. Something I found interesting was that wifi connection falls, and I had never known this before this assignment.

  • what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network? I would tell other people to set their network up so that the connections work for everyone. What I mean by this is if you have multiple networks on your modem you should use them. This will increase efficiency if set up right.

The WWW or World Wide Web is connected to my Modem/Router. My internet service provider is Verizon. All the devices in my house are, an Xbox one, two iphones, and five Android phones.Both my parents own a Galaxy S4 and Note 4. While my older brother and my younger brother own different android phones. I would tell other people many things they need to know about their home Network/ISP. One thing is if there are more than 5 electronics using one network it will go slower than a turtle.

  • explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.

  • reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? if now write about what you learned.

  • what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?

  1. On my internet I have a lot of devices connected. I have a tv, Xbox 1, tablet and 5 cellphones connected. In addition, there are 3 laptops connected.

  2. After the lessons, I did not learn anything super crazy. I am a very tech-lovey person so these things are natural to me.

  3. I would tell people that they should watch who connects to their network, because it will be slow with too many people on your network. Also, to always make sure you pay your bills or it will cut off on you.

1: Watch how we show knowledge about the Alfabeto and the use of tú vs. Ud. when our soldier Mia gets an annual eye exam from Doctor Simone and Nurse Samera!

2: Mother and daughter, Mia and Samera, decide to order food at a counter. They use courtesy phrases and numeros when ordering their delicious spanish food.

3: Simone is late for the bus after school! Watch how she hurriedly asks the time from her two peers, Justin and Samera. Good Luck Simone…

4: Simone asks when Justin’s and Mia’s birthdays are, but watch to find out when Simone’s birthday is...a special birthday song might be sung!

Network work

Posted by Rudolf Boisseau on
So, my internet company's xfinity and it's connected to my laptop, video game system, my tablet and my phone. I learned that internet is important in our life without it a lot of things would be difficult. I would tell them that they need a cable.

(I worked a lot)

Reed Home Network

Posted by Lamar Reed in Technology - Freshman · Hull · c2 Band on
My internet service provider is Xfinity and it covers most of my house. The devices that use this network is my computer, my aunt's computer, my phone, my other aunt's phone, my aunt's boyfriend's phone, my mom's phone, my cousin's phone, and my PS4. An OMG moment I have from learning about networks is that the creator said that the internet was free. I found this as an OMG moment because we still pay to have internet. I would tell people that they need to know what and how it connects them to their internet, so if something gets messed up, they know what needs to be fixed.
