Cardboard Chair
Website #1: http://www.teachersdomain.org/resource/phy03.sci.engin.design.zchair/
The chair requires a good design process. However not onlythat id does however require history and background knoledge. First of course we must determine the function that a structure must serve. It usually depends on why we need to build certain things. In this case we are building a chair in order to support us and for a grade of course. The creator of this chair had already a knoledge of the chair, but his dad helped him out evenn further because he was an architect. First of course he created a template. He used a half scale drawing in order to adjust later on. When it came to finally building his chair he did in fact double the measurements. When he first went in to this project, he went towards the cool looking design. However he soon realized that this was not helping out because they were too weak.
Website #2: http://www.motherearthnews.com/natural-home-living/tuesday-video-make-a-cardboard-chair.aspx
To the author this was half tutorial. Then the other half was part entertainment because of her love of cardboard furniture making. The video thouroghly explained how to use old cardboard boxes that you have laying around the house. There are milllions of ways to create a chair so that would be up to you. In this case it would be better to use all the pieces into a strong forcceful design. Especially if it were for everyday use. The following website gives you detailed instructions on how to build the chair as the link above is only a video. http://www.ehow.com/how_2294732_make-cardboard-chair.html Its also good to remember the ideas of where to begin. Also the benefiacial factors of creating the box. Its always a green thing. Youre helping out to recycle in your own home.
Website #3: http://www.sustainlane.com/reviews/how-to-make-the-worlds-best-cardboard-chair/QUQYAY4TTLD9JZA4JCPI9LU9KNIR
The idea of the project is to test the idea of the students. It was to test their conventional thinking and sustainability. It was thouhght that people nowadays deal little with reality. You can just buy almost everything anywhere now. This is why it was important to create a mental image in the students mind to create their own chair as a start. The chair is a great renovation idea to be cheap light and recyclable. Of course you will need all the materials necessary. The important thing is, is when it comes to your safety. Its not necessary to use tool chains nor any other heavy tools, however it would be helpful. Also keep in mind that the structure had to be strong. This is what i learned because it doesnt matter what type of shape you have, you will need a good foundation and support.

6th Post
My experience on using the blog was very interesting. I know that it isn't completely easy. However you must know that in all fair and games nothing is. I enjoy using the blog to correspond to school work. I also love that we're involved using more technology. Another thing that got my attention was how you can see other people's work. Its as if i ever need help or if i'm behind i can also look on someone else. Using the blog has made me realize that expressing yourself is so much easier. I can even change my blog to my likes as long as others can understand it. The blog has also made my job easier. It allows me to save paper and rely more on technology. Its a green movement.

3rd Blog: Reflection
Basically in order to have a good blog you will need several qualities. It of course needs to be readable and easily accesable. Of course you cant read something you cant see so therefore you must make sure everything is readable. Peole should have no problem accesssing your page and they must load quicly as well. The pictures should not be bulky at all and they must not interefere with the text. For that matter nothing should interrupt the reader from reading the text. It must also be easy to understand. The navigation bars should be able to be clicked with ease. Theyt shouldnt be blocked either. The link colors should also correspond to the website in order to avoid any confusion. Make sure in general that you dont have anything too extravegant. You dont want to have anything that will take forever to load as well. In general make sure that the text you have is natural looking, meaning that it has no complete capitalization, italic, or bold markings to it. I believe that all these guidleines must be followed in order to make sure that your blog is a success.

2nd Blog 1902 Glider
The Gliders project was very influential for me. It provided me insight on all the information of the gliders. It also allowed me to use construction tools when it came to building the glider. What interested me the most was trying to get the glider to fly. I read about how the wright brothers were challenged and it amazed me how they came up with the ideas of gliding. After much failure and few success they incorporated yaw control into the glider. This alllowed them to control the movement of the plane more than theyb already could. What i also learned from the project was the way it needed to be built. I lookd over several designs and i saw that not all were the same. In my opinion the 1902 one was the best. It wasnt as bulky as others. Also it was easliy manageable. I liked thiis project because it especially allowed me to create the glider myself.

What is a Blog?
A blog is very similar to a diary or a journal. The only difference is that you dont keep your thought or ideas to yourself, instead you express them. It can be breaking news or just a simple memo, the main idea is expression. In reality it can be about anything you want. Blogs are almost everywhere. It explains why people you see so many of them on the web. A Blog is also a site where you write about stuff almost continuously. Blogger was created in 1999. Ever since, blogs everywhere have reshaped the univese. One of the most popular can even be twitter or FB.
