Kind of pulling it all together

And, we always spend a lot of time talking about primary resources, and one of the things I always like to do in my classes, in fact all my classes I start off with an in the news segment. So just kind of paying attention to what’s going on in the world, you know. And this week, the one thing that caught my imagination in things that were going on, and in my professional learning network on twitter, this is how I found out about it a lot of people talking back and forth. But this week James Cameron broke the solo dive record.

That was amazing.

And what he did was he did a submarine dive to the Marianas Trench, the deepest place in the ocean, over 7 miles deep, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around how deep that is.
That’s what you and I were talking about, how long it takes to get down there.

Yeah, and that’s as deep as it is that jet airplanes fly.

True, I had never thought about that

And it’s kind of this alien type environment, and you can kind of compare it to space, to outer space because you have some of the same challenges of extreme environments.

And it’s amazing how much we don’t know about the bottom onf the ocean and all that, and I think that’s a very exciting area that we’re gonna start seeing more exploration of that’s gonna be great in a classroom.

DeepCool launches frameless RGB fans that you can control over Wi-Fi

You can use your smartphone to adjust the speed and lighting of these fans.   Fans are not overly complicated for fancy devices. They have blades that spin and push (or pull) air, and some of them light up. DeepCool has taken things a step further, however, by designing frameless RGB smart fan set that hooks into your wireless network. DeepCool's new MF120 set comes with three fans and a controller for them to plug into to. Using a free app that is available for Android and iOS, you can then connect to the controller and cycle through five built-in lighting effects (dynamic, static, breathing, comet, and fashion collision) and 36 interchangeable lighting modes, and also adjust the speed. We're not sure there is a whole lot of utility for controlling your case's fans with your smartphone, but if that's something you want to do, there you go. The fans themselves are uniquely designed. They're frameless in the sense that they don't sit enclosed in a traditional fra...
