The Olympics

:The Olympics:
Back in 776 BC(Before Christ) was the first ever ancient Olympic games, it was held in Olympia Greece. The games were dedicated to the Olympian god.

There were only 13 games in the ancient Olympic games and now there are at least 28. The modern games are more exciting, for numerous reasons; there are larger crowds more people can watch it from the other side of the world on the tv, heaps more countries are participating and more people are breaking records.

Every Olympics the games travel to a different location this year it's being held in Rio De Janeiro Brazil. Last year it ventured to London, England and before that was Beijing in 2008. People build new buildings, new stadiums and even new Monuments for the visitors who are going to the country for the olympics.

Because Brazil isn't seeming like a safe place at the moment because of reasons like the Zika Virus and unsafe stories  some contestants have dropped out of the big tournament.

In conclusion if you host the Olympics in your country it is given the opportunity to get more money from tourists visiting the country, tourists will be going to that country more because of what it looks like from the olympics and that will get people buying more things from shops, using hotels and just having trips around the country.

GEG NZ SUMMIT Recount

On wednesday we went to GEG NZ Student SUMMIT (Google Education Groups) in Hobsonville Point Primary School.
We were greeted by Toby Carr CEO and Founder of DEXTECH.


The first place we went to was to a garage band presentation from a girl from Long Bay School. Her presentation didn’t go exactly the way she wanted it to but it was very helpful a lot of information. She used examples she was entertaining and a good speaker. We were not able to use garageband because of our computers. We noted this in a book and at the end she wanted a crowd so that she could sing using garageband in the background.

Then we went to go eat morning tea, before our first group presented, While the group got ready to present we went to go find a presentation we found one that was all about google apps like Google drive, Google Slides and Google Docs. They had online padlets for us to help them in there google slides and others…


The 3rd thing we went to was our presentation so we were all nervous and as soon as we got there. In this group was Mary, Collin, Taimana, Iisa, Ariana So we started presenting and the presentation was going good, Live actions. We were doing good as no troubles and everything was under control. There was work shown as well as animations.

Our final presentation for the day was google cardboard and the sphere. It was really cool and interesting. It is a thing on your phone and a cardboard box where you cover your eyes and you can move around and see things. Its kinda like Oculus Rift on your phone. Image result for google cardboard
