The, I learned how to make sounds, and other types of noises be heard.

Today I decided to dedicate my time to researching the different types of degrees and careers they offer at both universities. I discovered that they both offer pretty much the same type of degrees: bachelor's, master's, technical degrees, and some course/programs on a certain area or career.

Some of the careers offered in these colleges that I am interested in include, but are not limited to:

-Licenciatura en administración de empresas -Licenciatura en dirección de negocios globales -Licenciatura en comercio internacional -Ingeniería industrial -Licenciatura en gastronomía -Licenciatura en psicología -Ingeniería civil And that is about it.  Something to do next class: Next class will be my last Google day, so I want to wrap up all the information I already have and begin working on my presentation. I have to make it an interesting and entertaining presentation.

Google Day 3

Goals for the day:

-Add two university to my list of researched universities.

-Research those universities (careers offered).

-Decide which of the two will be added to my final presentation.

I decided to research two new universities and then decide which one i would add to my final list. the two universities that I chose were Universidad Torcuato Di Tella and Universidad de Belgrano. Since my main focus of research is the careers offered in both, I still have no idea what I aspire to be when older, that is exactly what I researched. In the Torcuato Di Tella, they offer careers in Business Economics, Economics, Political Sciences, International Studies, Law, History, and Architecture. In Belgrano, they offer careers in Architecture and Urbanism, Agricultural Sciences, Economic Sciences, Natural Sciences, Engineering and Informational Technology, Health Sciences, Law and Social Sciences, Human Studies, and Languages and Foreign Studies. I really like the options offered in both universities, but I am leaning more towards the Universidad de Belgrano. The way I see it, that specific university has a wider variety in what they offer, meaning a wider variety in the kind of people you will meet. Besides, engineering, business and relations are what have my focus right now. And since Torcuato Di Tella doesn't offer engineering... 

Something to do next class:

Well, this was the last Google Day, so when I finish posting this blog post I will need to start working on my presentation for the first week of June. I still have to decide what 2.0 tool I will use, but I think I am  going to go with the one I can actually work on, Prezi. Not very creative, i know, but it is the only one i feel like I have a grasp on and that is certainly a good thing. Even though it might not be the most exciting tool out there, I am going to try and make it as interesting and fun as I can. Add a couple images here, give it a little tricks there, and I haven't decided if there will or will not be music in the presentation. I want to make myself as clear and understandable as possible.

For my Google 20% Project I decided to compare to universities in Buenos Aires, Argentina, since that is the place where I want to study after I graduate high school.

The two universities I decided to compare are the UADE- Universidad Argentina de la Empresa and the UBA- Universidad de Buenos Aires. My main focuses on this comparison will be the carers they offer and the campus of each university.

The links above are useful links on more information about the universities and the official website for each. While reading the information I discovered some of the people that have attended the universities (Nobel prize winners that studied in said university), study abroad programs available for the students of the university, careers offered in both universities, stay offered, etc.

Something to research next class:

Different degrees offered in both universities (Bachelors and Masters).

The Cloud

What I know about the topic before doing any research:

I don't know anything about the topic and decided to research it precisely for that fact, since I want to learn about something I wasn't familiar with. 

Questions I have before researching: 

-What is this program or software or website about?

-What can I do with this program?

-How can it be applied to my personal and school life?

-Is it a useful and trustworthy resource?

Things I learned about this topic:

-Operates only in Germany, The Nordics and the UK

-Works for both businesses and WiFi users

-Became part of the BSkyB Group in 2011

-Working on providing city outdoor networks

-Hotspots are offered free of charge to Sky Broadband Unlimited, Sky Fibre Unlimited and Sky Connect customers

-Improve user experiences with mobile and on the go electronics

Connection to my life:

I wouldn't say it directly influences my life, for it is a service offered in another continent and to customers of something I am not part of. But it is a good idea on improving the way we use Internet on the go and improving wireless connections.

Questions I still have:

Is it going to be applied in Colombia or any country in the Americas, specifically South America?

Is it really a good service or is it just something to gain more costumers?
