I think that it is really cool how making a little thing like a sundial can turn into something that is a big part of our life. What would the world be like without time?

I think it was more efficient to have you converse with someone because it showed that someone agreed with your points.

I thought that it was cool to hear Mr.Holman and Mr.Penningtion talking about this because all these were things we did in class and I thought it was interesting to hear what we were doing later in the year.

That was a good conversation. And I have a question, do you think that if there was never an Olympics there be sports today

I was just wondering, do you think that one day, all of these enduring impacts will be forgotten?

In this skype between Mr. Holman and Mr. Pennington, was good because it was humorous but also explained everything with detail. It was easy to follow and they also used some examples.

I wonder what it would be like if the invention which triggers every other technology was not invented. It is really amazing by how one small or large invention can have a huge enduring impact on society.

Haha I though the conversation was funny. Here is one of my essential questions. (Was on DA) What would happen if there would be no time? (Clocks)

I wonder what would happen to our world if the ancient philosophers never wondered about the world? For example, if Indians never wondered about the planets!

I can think of a lot of enduring impacts from a tiny part of the OSU game.

What would have happened if time (sundial/clocks) had never been invented?

Both teachers reviewed about the advancements that our class covered. It was a chat that went over all of the concepts that we learned and it was great to hear two teachers talking about the importance of these cultural and scientific advancements.

I have a question, what would happen if vacuums were never made?

Haha, I actually really liked it. My favorite invention that we have been talking about so far is also the sundial. I believe it was invented by the Chinese!

I agree that there probably is a bunch of enduring impacts in an Ohio State game.

The conversation was pretty informative. We talked about a lot of those things in class today, such as the enduring impacts, inventions, etc.

I find it amazing how people's minds have advanced so much over time. Just think--if someone hadn't picked up a rock and thrown it, attempting to chop something in half, we wouldn't have so much of the technology that is used today.

I liked the conversation. I learned a lot about the cultural and scientific enduring impacts, and I also liked that there were examples to help better explain.

Some great comments here. I am glad you found the alarm clock and Mr. P's vacuum funny. It was good to read some of your essential questions as well. I hope you are starting to "see" the world in new eyes. And if you can't see it yet, keep looking--it will get clear.

I have a question. What if there wasn't any ancient civilizations like Greece and Rome?
Terence

What if one day in the future that if we made these many enduring impacts now i wonder how much we would make 50 or a 100 years from now. Just something to think about.........
Mr. H

Yes, Terence that is something to think about. It is an essential question. Things that make use thing and search. 3/25/2012 02:42:44 pm
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! Leave a Reply. |
