I would like to thank my friend Anthony Francisco who posted this video to my Facebook profile. I was about to sleep when I needed to watch something to make me fall asleep. Instead I was glued to Home. The visuals are fantastic; the message is urgent.

My Dream For You
Dear Francesca
My heart did break when no one in the class stood up to clarify your query in my behalf. I felt like I have miserable failed as a professor and have earned my salary unjustly. I realize, too, that I should have prepared you more for the teaching style that I wanted to implement. Here is the page where I share the direction of our science class. Thank you for recognising my dream for all of you to become well-rounded learners and knowledge creators — authors, in other words. To quote my speech that day, “my dream is for you not to be just reading about Einstein but for you to be like Einstein, discovering something new which others will study. Thank you for indicating your willingness to try out my invitation to study with the blogosphere in mind; I, too will do my best to adjust my strategies that will be stimulating to the majority of students.
REALIZATIONS !!! ( August 3, 2014) by Francesca Tobias
Last August 3, 2014 during our (NATURAL SCIENCE) period, we were shocked when our Professor, Mr, Rom Cumagun announced that our Preliminary Exams will be based on all the posts in this WordPress account. Indeed it wasn’t the usual way so we all took the courage to ask him for clarifications and suggestions.
I personally felt left out from the other sections because most of them had different topics already and ours were a little shaky I guess when it comes to the way of flow of the course. I felt that there wasn’t this exact focus on the main course which was Natural Science. I guess that Natural Science is really broad because who doesn’t agree that “everything is connected to everything else” ? Maybe I was waiting for a distinction and I might as well tell my professor my opinion rather than sitting still and class unanswered by my thoughts. I am the type that couldn’t keep still until I get to find the answers for my questions. So there I said it.
It broke my heart because I felt really bad how I made my professor feel unaccepted because I couldn’t understand where the subject was going and couldn’t find clarity in his unique way of teaching, but after he explained to us his dreams for us, it made me think twice. Maybe now is the time for change, time to stop sticking with the rules. After all, nothing came to those who didn’t try right ? So I’m giving another chance to Mr. Cumagun , I hope he gives us another chance as well. I hope that things will get better in the end and I hope we can all adjust for the better! 🙂 🙂

Balancing Traditional and Non-Traditional Classroom Strategies
Thank you so much Nicole Shane Abria Perez NS102 3AD-6 for your feedback. Your proposal for us to meet halfway between traditional and non-traditional teaching is point very well taken. I will do my best to adjust my classroom strategies.
Realizations by Nicole Perez
I want to share my realizations about everything in both our subjects here. I just want to say that I understand your philosophies and style of teaching but given that I am used to the traditional style of teaching, I got overwhelmed with your new style. I got confuse because I’m not really into blogging and I am not familiar to this type of blogging. I am used to sharing my opinions inside the classroom where the professor could listen to it physically. I guess what happened between our block and you is just a miscommunication. Forgive us if you think we’re antoginizing you. We actually don’t. We just shared what we think of of your sytle, Sir. I guess the best that could happen now is for us – students and you as a prof alike – to meet halfway. I think it would be best if go traditional but you could still be non-traditional at the same time. In this way, we would meet with each and everyone’s form of sharing and understanding. Thank you for bearing with my thoughts.

The Mirascope – Holographic illusion
Holographic screens are supposedly the predicted future of screens.
Supposedly levitating and is ethereal – it necessarily cant be touched since it would images produced by light, suspended mid air.
The mirascope, uses 2 concave mirrors to reflect the image in a way that it appears to be tangible but is not, pretty cool. (This links to a video on how it works, warning: math – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33IvhNsiPb4)
That being said,It may be a possible way to make holograms happen.
while there are other better existing holographic illusions that have been done (the deceased Tupac shakur’s concert appearance, Japan’s Live Vocaloid concert) I think there could be other ways to produce holograms.
just my thoughts and what not, hope you enjoyed the short read.

Sorry for low quality vid! 😦
This video was the contrast made of light and darkness which gives more drama to a photograph.

My take on “The Blogosphere”
I would like to share my own visual representation about the blogosphere.
This visual representation of mine simply shows that the structure of the blogosphere is huge, broad and complex. It also shows that everything in the blogosphere is connected. According to what I have researched, the blogosphere is made up of all blogs on the internet and their network of interconnections.
Basically, it is about sharing; sharing your blog to other people and vice versa. It is also about oneness because the blogs or even the social networking accounts we have are connected, in a way, and thus, makes us a “connected community” on the world wide web. All kinds of information, whether it is about yourself, culture, religion, gossip, science, etc. may be shared within the blogosphere. In the blogosphere, we have the freedom of information and the freedom of expression.
The blogosphere is an integral part of the internet.

Sci-fi poem
They cannot endure,
They will cease to exist,
Their own actions,
Turned against them,
Truly, the tides will turn,
They will lose,
Technology will fail them,
No more hope for rebirth,
As humanity face the wrath of Mother Earth.
