Who will win?

Twitter has launched a rival app against Meerkat called Periscope. Both apps allow you to go live in the matter of seconds.Those who choose to follow you are alerted when you go live. Meerkat has even been used in a White House Office conference. However, Periscope who has been tested by a handful of celebrity users has been said to surpass Meerkat. Users have said it has better video quality and is easier to use. Unlike Meerkat it allows you to publish videos for later viewing. Although other applications like this have been out for years, both apps have succeeded because they are cheap and require less data connection. The companies are urging users to pick a side.

Ms.Ames teaches my geometry class. She is easy to locate and always answers her email when you need help. When I first entered her class I expected to like the content we were learning, since I loved Algebra, however that was not the case. Geometry is nothing like Algebra, although it contains Algebra. Geometry I have to say is my hardest class.

Geometry Textbook

In geometry we have learned a ton. The topics range from: Pythagorean Therm, Conditional Statements, Special Right Triangles, Trigonometry, and much more. The way her class room works is that midway through the chapter she will quiz us and then at the end of the chapter we have a chapter test. She also throws in projects and assessments into each marking period. We basically have textbook homework everyday. Her grading policy is as follows:homework/classwork 10%, projects 15%, quizzes 25%, and test 50%.

Although geometry is challenging it has aspects that I enjoy. For example, the way we review our homework. This aspect is one of my favorites, because it gives me the chance to realize how I will perform on a graded assessment. In addition, I also get the needed help if I am still confused about the process or steps you need to take. The way technology is used in that class is helpful. She shows us how the lesson we are learning is applicable to real life scenarios using various applications. She also uses technology based homework such as Khan Academy and TTM. 

Overall, this class is one of the best challenging classes I have taken. The only suggestion would be more on the board practice, where the student would go to the board and answer the question. However, everything else about geometry is great.
