Medical Terminology 

Medical Terminology is a college based course usually for students who want to work in the medical field in their future. The course features how to use the roots, prefixes, and suffixes of words and creating medical terms. For example, Nephr/itis means inflammation of the kidney. The root word Nephr means kidney and itis means inflammation. Also, Medical Terminology touches upon reproductive systems, nervous system, and the many types of infections and diseases that the body is capable of having. Medical Terminology is the language used to accurately describe the human body and associated components and procedures in a science- based manner.

The educator who is teaching this course is Mr. Maniscalco aka Mr. Man. Mr. Man teaches the course in a way that ensures that class would not leave the room without learning at least something relating to Medical Terminology. Also, Mr. Man makes the class fun by making funny jokes and relating to the class. Mr. Man majors in Physics, Radiation Physics, Radiological Physics, and Medical Oncology Physics. The colleges that he has went to are St. Peter's University, Rutgers, American College or Radiology, and American College of Medical Physics. In his past jobs he was a teacher of chemistry and physics at Cliffside Park High School, and a directer of Medical Physics and Dosimetry,

The Grading Policy for Medical Terminology is quite simple actually. For instance, Formal Assessments are 40% of a grade along with Performance Based Assessments, Also, the last 20% get cut in half with Homework (10%) and Class Performance. The tests in the class are fairly simple if you actually study, and have a good memorization personality. Lastly, Medical Terminology requires a lot of effort, and no fooling around. Furthermore, Medical Terminology is an all around great class to be and gives an outstanding amount of information.

Project HololLens: Our Exclusive Hands-On With Microsoft’s Holographic Goggles (Current Event:1)

Project HoloLens

• It's a head-mounted holographic computer made from Microsoft.
• In the very near future it will be used to compute in the physical world, using voice and gesture to summon data and layer it atop physical objects.
• The prototype amplifies the special powers the kinect introduced, using a small fraction of the energy. 
• The depth camera has a field of vision of 120 by 120 degrees so it can sense what the hands are doing even when they are nearly outstretched.
•  Sensors flood the device with terabytes of data every second, all managed with an onboard CPU. GPU, and HPU (holographic processing unit). 
• Is able to run any app that a Windows 10 PC (will come out when HoloLens does) or phone can do as long as the holomagic UI is programmed in.
• Is no oculus, and it is untethered
• Brings forth virtual things to our real life.
•  The final version will be small, light, and tether- free set of glasses you wear on your head
• The funds for making the glasses was $592 million dollars.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

 Do Now: 2/9/2015

                      In the article you learn what is copyright; a United States federal law that protects original “works of authorship” which include literary, written, dramatic, artistic, musical and certain other types of works. Also, how Fair Use, and Licensed Images all tie in to what is known as copyright. I learned that with getting an image online you need to, in most cases give credit to the person who had taken the photo. Also, how using a photo for educational purposes is the best way to not be in trouble of supposedly copywriting.

Hey Guys!

             Hey guys my name is Katrina. I am interested in many things like reading, singing, watching TV, and hanging out with friends. However, like every other person I have a few dislikes. For example, I dislike annoying people, winter, summer, and school work. My family consists of 10 people.. yea i know pretty huge huh. Well yeap, thats my life yay.. Anyways, I have a few friends that make me laugh on a regular in and out of school. For example, Tina, Ariel, Kim, Lydia, Joanne, Nico, Tim, Andrea, Milly, and etc. The classes I am taking this year (Junior Year) is Web 2.0, English III, Algebra II, Medical Terminology, Spanish IIII, World History, and Sex Ed. As for my college plans, I hope in going into the Air Force and becoming an Orthopedic Surgeon. As for my plans over the summer, I plan on taking as trip to a few colleges, playing soccer, hanging with friends, go to the beach, and PARTIESS! Hopefully pretty soon I'll acquire a part time job in something medical related so that I could be able to get some money to spend on clothes shopping, and of course help a little the family.
