Computer Repair Apprentice

Scott works at “IT Freeway” and he repairs computers and owns a business. He is also my apprentice teacher. When I go to Scott’s office, we begin by planning what we are going to work on. When we begin he tells me what is safe and what is not. I visit him every Wednesday. I chose this apprenticeship because since I was a little kid I liked computer and technology and I still do.

How to make the world a better place?

We can all start recycling and not polluting because our world is getting really dirty. And we can tell people to stop smoking because when kids pass by it smells really bad and we can get asthma or who ever has asthma. No violence or gangs because most people get killed when they get involved in gangs or drugs.

How can we make the world A better place?

How i think we should make the world a better place is create a higher class in the world with that only the elected people get. therefor mostly all the land will be shared and all the major decisions will be made by a small group thats trusted by the world and there will be less disagreements.

Money should be eliminated all over the world to remove social classes.

Evernote Is The Ultimate Tool For ALL Students...

Evernote Is The Ultimate Tool For ALL Students

As an Apprentice Teacher is the Spark program I share Evernote with ALL my students. If I had Evernote when I was a kid, I sincerely believe I would be much further developed with my note-taking skill. If you don't have an Evernote account, you they are free an Evernote will blow your mind!!! I would go so far as to say Evernote is the most valuable software program I have ever used, and best of all, it is a superb example of the power of cloud computing. So what are you waiting for? Go to Evernote.com and open a free account!!!

Amazing Video Of The Night: Sky Joshua Tree National Park, California

Amazing Video Of The Night Sky

Joshua Tree National Park, California

One of the things I want to explore more with my apprentices is how to shoot and edit video, so hopefully we can add much more video content to the Spark Blog. I think it would be really cool if students could shoot a video presentation of their Discovery Night presentation and put in on the blog so many more people can enjoy and learn from it.

Speaking of amazing video, Gizmodo just had a competition for best time lapse video and this amazing video won. I had no idea you could see anything like this from earth. I have got to go to Joshua Tree to check out this amazing splendor!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why start this blog?

The reason Jake and I started this blog was because we wanted a place where all kids who went to spark could talk and share with each other the experiences and new skills they have learned from their apprentice teacher. 


 This can allow kids who went to spark keep in touch with their apprentice teachers and friends even after their spark session is over. Then we can create a kind of "spark community."
