Technology has been quickly increasing day by day. Now Sony company has released about he is promising improved low-light photography from its forthcoming range of Smartphone camera sensors with addition of white-light pixels. In current boosting white-light pixels of Sony, there include the red, green and blue (RGB)-sensing pixels already included in its existing devices.

But one problem is that it is said to be patented a similar technology in 2007 but never put it to use by the Kodak company produced cameras as pioneer. Sony’s information was very good news for those who hold Smartphone because the most Smartphone typically use smaller lenses and image sensors than used currently cameras. According to Sony’s release, it is clearly said that camera sensor-makers are increasingly promoting low-light functionality as a selling point, after focusing on megapixels for years.

It is witnessed in saying of Brain Blau who serves as director at the technology consultant Gartner as follow “this is good news for device makers, they can improve their cameras and give consumers a more functional camera that will work in better lighting situation”. And then he continued that that really means consumers have to think less about how to process their pictures and just have fun taking them. It make sure user well be satisfied on this Sony’s boosting as software is used to combine this information with the detail recorded by the RGB pixels to provide a better shot.

For It is very interesting that Richard Sibley, senior technical writer at Amateur Photographer magazine present his individual point of view that the reason why they are doing it is to capture more information about the shadow areas and to help it increase the dynamic range of the image, which in theory should help mobile phone sensors and very small compact camera sensors pick up more detail.

According to Sony’s press releases, it is said to may be aimed to ship samples of the new sensor in March. Therefore I hope consumers may be able to buy devices using the technology later this year or early 2013.

On the other hand, Apple Company also releases that they well be scaling back on the volume of iPad 2 displays it’s ordering to 7 million to 8 million panels in the first quarter of this year. In describing of Digital Time news, it is said to be continue to offer the iPad 2 alongside the newer model by the Apple. As Apple Company the first and second generation iPads had been produced differently from each other only in color, capacity, and cellular connectivity, while retaining core features across the line.

We can use A third- generation iPad model in March, including completely with the aforementioned higher-resolution display and more powerful components. So we can see what it is a tidier device than one that appeared last week on Korean industry site Electronic Times Internet News.

Question part 1.

Kinect, originally known by the code name Project Natal, is a motion sensing input device by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game console. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller, through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands. The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360's audience beyond its typical gamer base. Kinect competes with the Wii Remote Plus and PlayStation Move with PlayStation Eye motion controllers for the Wii and PlayStation 3 home consoles, respectively. A version for Windows will be released in Early 2012.

Question part 2.

( A ). WebQuest:

It is a program in which we can draw whatever we want to make beautiful designs rather than looking for it and is also program that user’s mind is satisfied.

( B ). The attributes of WebQuest contain at least the following factors.

(1). Introduction:

WebQuest introduction consists of setting the stage and providing some background information. It describes why WebQuest is, thoughts about WenQuest, and WebQuest news. And then it explains the following question too—(1). What the components of WebQuest are, where I can find out more information on what a WenQuest is, where I can find out about writing on own WebQuest, and how I can make sure my sites valid are. These are attributes WebQuest introduction.

(2). Task:

It is a expressing of the end of my PowerPoint presentation we will have done.

(3). Process:

The Process in a WebQuest is a component running through the title ‘task’ including with strategies for dividing the task into subtasks, descriptions of roles to be played or perspectives to be taken by each learner. And it is the place used by the instructor to provide learning advice and interpersonal process advice.

(4). Evaluation:

By using WebQuest it can help those who want to use their time as efficiently as possible when they find the time to enter online to explore if they are like most educators. This is evaluation in WebQuest.

(5). Conclusion:

The conclusion of WebQuest is a section to summarize what we present. It is also something to encourage reflection about the process and to extent what was learned. And it is a good thing to suggest questions used by the teacher in whole class discussion to debrief a lesson.

(6). Credits:

It is a reference of article or presentation we write down. WebQuest Credits indicate to the resources of everything like music, image and text we are using in the presentation.

( C ). Backward Design of WebQuest is something that learners make faculty as the instructional design process with their favored lectures, activities, and textbooks rather than designing the learning activities based on targeted goals or standards. Backward Design consists of the following three steps—(1). Establish Curricular Priorities, (2). Determine acceptable evidence, and (3). Plan learning Experiences and Instruction. (Wiggins, G. & McTighe, J. 1998).

( D ). We may edit and design my WebQuest from my homepage such as hyperlink, photo, image, movies and so on and whatever we are interesting in. when we have done, we have to save. When we publish my Webquest, we have to tow options, Although it might sound complicated first, the process of publishing my Webquest is very easy to understand and complete. As publishing status, we have to click on the following section as yes—Webquest Title page, introduction, Tasks, process, Evaluation, Conclusion, Teachers page. And then we continue click “publish anyway”.

( E ). To find qualify link for the WebQuest, there are five areas until from task 1 to 5. In the task 1, there are three steps. They are (1) Travel (2). Lodging and (3) Dining. For each category we will have to weigh two options. As task 2, we will find the directions for our specific category and record the calculations in our part of the spreadsheet. For the task 3 we must have group to discuss our activity choices and total the amount that have been spent on travel, lodging, and dining so far. For the task, now that we have returned home, each member will write a letter to a friend who wasn’t able to make it on our trip.

Apple Company has continuously been producing its popular iPad within decade. There read in coverage of a blog, on December 29, 2011, that generation iPad also will emerge very soon. This is a production to override Kindle Fire $199 that it is currently very topical among people.

Its Company gage New iPad will be more credible than other because of high probability that a QXGA, 2048x1536 display-toting iPad is coming. According to Richard Shim, an analyst at DisplaySearch, CNET described on Thursday that apple’s makers started making the panels in November 2011 and they hope to produce about 8 million. It makes sure that people will approve new iPad too because it has thinner with longer battery for tapping device of IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide).

Next information is that an iPad with a 7.85-inch screen is still being entertained as a possibility for late in the year. In DigiTime report, there submit the battery capacity for the high-end version of Apple’s new iPad will be increased to 14,000mAH paying reference of industry sources. Timing of two new iPad will be in January 2012 and price is said to will be kicked down to a lower price tier to compete with Amazon’s Kindle Fire, according to the report.

Reflection: I think not so low to compete directly with the $ 199 Kindle Fire at least. Apple doesn’t want to erode their margins. They have no reason. They are selling as many as they can make. And this next-gen device is going to reinforce that supply-demand dynamic.
