HTC One Vs. iPhone 5
 
 
         Three years ago, one of Apple’s prime competitors from the Android side of the pond was the HTC EVO 4G. How times have changed.

Do Now 2/19



        If I was a teacher my class would be lacrosse. I would teach lacrosse because I play lacrosse with my cousin because he plays on a college team. He teaches me how to play, so I could teach others how to play. My class would be after school because there would be a lot time and it wouldn't interfere with anybody's work. This class would be optional so that people could have time for other after school activities if they don't like lacrosse. There would be many kids playing lacrosse and just doing basic drills. If this class is successful then it could possibly lead to a school team.

Lernstift Electronical Pen Vibrates to Indicate Bad Spelling, Grammar and Penmanship


 

          I don't have any idea how it is possible, but soon there will be pen that will indicate
 
 mistakes that kids will make. There will be two generations of this pen. The first generation,
 
which will be released in mid-2013, will be equipped with motion sensors and a word recognition
 
system. The second generation, which is supposed to be ready for early 2014, will have a pressure
 
sensor added. Basically the pen will just vibrate when you do anything wrong
 
with grammar, spelling, or any kind of mistake. This pen is meant to help kids who have trouble
 
writing.
