Inventors and Inventions =D

In the last IT class on Wednesday last week, we introduced and discussed our new unit “Inventions and Inventors”. First we watched 2 videos on Brain pop about Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo Da Vinci. The videos were interesting and gave a lot of information. What I found most interesting was that Leonardo Da Vinci wrote all his inventions in mirror script, so nobody could steal his work. We gathered a lot of characteristics and qualities of an inventor. Every inventor is on some level intelligent, smart, creative, curious, risk-taker and also multi-talented. Then we took our planners and turned to page 19-21 and did the quiz. We found out everybody is intelligent on some level and that you can also be intelligent outside of school. There are different ways to be intelligent, multiple intelligences, such as physical kinesthetic, visual special, verbal linguistic, naturalistic and more. The quiz for me was interesting and I found out a lot about myself. The majority of the class was visual and spatial learners. After we discussed this, Namuun and I drew on the unit poster. We drew inventions and technology. How technology helps, such as a light bulb and how it can ruin our world, such as guns and other things. Our area of interaction is Human ingenuity and we chose risk-taker from the IB learner profile.
