2. What would be the variables of the model?
3. What predictions could you make based on the results?

1. Yes they would use a model because they have to predict the earthquake and collect results.

2 Some of the variables would be: the type of bridge, the earthquake power and region, the metal, etc.

3. Some of the predictions you have to make are: Will the bridge collapse? Will the segments stand the earthquake?

Computer Modelling

1. Computer Modelling is a computer program that simulates a real life system, it's like a virtual version of something in real life. It has it's advantages some of their are: you can test it without damaging it, you can test all the times you want, you can make changes, etc.

2.
a) A hospital could me modelled by having the operation systems modelled
b) A hospital could be modelled by checking all the food and beverages
c)A school could be modelled by having all the students registered
d)The police can be modelled by registering all the police officers.

3.An example of spreadsheet that creates a model is a running a business spreadsheet. A computer model of a business can be used to predict future profits. If the workings of a business can be modelled accurately, in particular the financial systems, then these models, can be used to make predictions. The models are used to help the answer "what if....?". Based on the answer that the model gives, the managers of the business can make decisions.

Project 1 Review

The importance of technology in my Digital story is the way how I use different types of medias and how I use them. Technology plays a positive role in my life because it make me learn new things and makes me think how the world is evolving. I was happy with my final product, but I did experience some problems when I wanted to add music to specific timings but it only let me add it to the whole song and also I wanted to add transitions but Powtoon didn't have any. If I could have more time I would add a remix of songs for each slide and add more videos and pictures. I have my ups and downs on technology. My upsides are that I can learn new things, interact with other people, see people's opinions and contact friends. The downsides are that I don't interact with my family as I used to, technology costs and its addicting. For example: I use Facebook and i can't live with it now.

How I use my media life

This is my media life for a week. I found out that most of the people use the internet media. I think that my media intake is medium, because I use a bit of everything. I found that  some of my trends are: I use the internet more socially than educationally, create more than I communicate. For example I use the computer more to use facebook than to do homework.
What I would change in my Media Life is how much internet and social networks I use and use other types of media.

My name is Melissa Davila, I was born here in Quito, Ecuador. My parents were born here as well. I have one Older brother and one younger sister. My Favourite colour is turquoise and my favourite sport is football. I enjoy visiting new countries and meeting new friends. I've studied in the British School Quito for 11 years now, it has been a wonderful expirience. I love this school. My favourite subjects are P.E and ICT.

I am really looking forward to be using photoshop, making robots and learning how to use graphic design. MY target this year is to give all my homework on time, know when homework are set and due and improve my grades each term.
