Last Post Presentation

My topic was Mind Enhancers and I learned about the Nervous System. I thought that I had some positive points in my presentation like speaking clearly, trying to know the information and not just read it, and I think that I had some good information. I learned about technology by making a website and I can now design and publish a good webpage. I did this through a program called “Yola” which was easy to learn and very user friendly. I learned about “Yola” from Katie and Cassidy.

Post #3Mind Enhancers

Today I worked more on my webpage. I made a new page on the risks of taking cognitive enhancing drugs. There are risks like insomnia, loss of appetite, and headaches. I read that some people think that in the future we will develop better mind enhancers with fewer side effects. I also learned how to link a video to my website and I found a good one on YouTube. The video was a discussion about an article in Nature magazine about college students taking mind enhancers.

Post #2 Mind Enhancers

Today I worked more on my website. I learned a little bit about Dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in your brain that plays a large role in your sleeping, learning, and attention. On my presentation I have almost finished the section on the Nervous System so now I can focus more on the controversial issue. I am finding my topic of controversy very interesting and I can’t wait to finish my project. I realized that I still have to comment on one others person’s blog. My last comment was on Erynn’s blog which is about Bulimia.
