2.- Technology and living conditions

  Technology and living conditions All technological activities as a whole has consecuencies, therefore the manucfacturing a new technical object, or modifaying one existing object it is important to consider its contribution to society. Technological and sustinable  developtment Tecnological development can have negative consecuences for the enviroment. We tend to use non-reweable natural resourses and weath the Earth and causes changes in the ecosystems, even leading to the extintions of animals and plants spices or the air and water pollution. Others sustances increses the greenhouse effect such us CO 2 . We produce it when we burn anything. Sustinable developtment tries to make the quality of live by technological advaces compatible with respect for enviroment, seeking ways to minimize the enviromental impact of technology. Keys to    sustinable  developtment The keys to achieving sustinable development are: Energy efficency, that is energy saving, which pre...

1.- HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY

Imagen
It is vey difficult to define what Technology is. We know that it helps us to adapt to our enviroment and overcome our limints. However is difficult to define. Although we can define well what Technology is, we know its role during the history. Because of this we are going to analyze its role and importance during the developtment of our society. This video helps us undestand better    ACTIVITIES 1.- DEFINE TECHNOLOGY USING YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE OR SEARCHING FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. 2.- DO A TEMPORARY LINE WITH THE MAIN TECHNOLOGICAL EVENTS DURING THE HISTORY.

6.- ARDUINO PRACICES

We should do some practices with ARDUINO board. It is true that as programming language ARDUINO is very dificult. This is the reason why we are going to use bitbloq that is very similar to SCRATCH and it let us to learn also ARDUINO language. This video shows three practicises and how you can do in bitblog. I hope you enjoy it and the practiceses. ACTIVITIES 1.- Do the practicises   2.- Take photos and do videos HOMEWORK 1.-  Write a report in which include photos and the videos. 2.- Can you include any of these praticises in a project?

5.- ARDUINO BOARD

ARDUINO, is not just a controller card, it is an open hardware electronic platform for the creation of prototypes. It allows connecting both analog and digital sensors and actuators, both analog and digital. This is the link ARDUINO The appearance of an ARDUINO ONE card (the most used) is the following: The fundamental part is the ATMMega328 microprocessor. But it also has 6 analog inputs and 14 digital inputs / outputs. 2 power pins (5 and 3.3 V) a reset button and the probability of external power or USB port. Each contact provides 40 mA maximum and we can connect circuits using Shield or Protoboard plates.              The BQ company has used this controller card as a base and, by making some changes, has created its own BQ ZUM and FREDUINO control cards. Its use is more simplified.               In addition to having the card,...

4.- ROBOTIC INTRODUCTION

Robots are machine that easies our live. We have create to do monotonous and danger task such as paint or explorer a planet. However they never will reach the human conditions. Our future will be plenty of these machines, so you should know how they work and how you can use. For this purpouse you need some knowledge. The video shows you some important contents about control and robotic ACTIVITIES You will do a presentation of 5 minutes about a sensor. To ilustatre your presentation, you should do a Padlet HOMEWORK Do a search about what is a LED

3.- COLLECTING APPLES

Finally we are going to create using Scratch a game. It consists of collecting apples that are falling using a bowl. This video explains haow you can solve the problem step by step. This is the second part of the exercise
