Sustainable consumption & production: a greener world

Your impact on the earth can be measured with the ecological footprint.

If we keep on prodcuing polution like we are now by the 50 we will have to use 2 Xs more the land than we have to be able to aborb the poltions and wastes.

Today their are many products that each time hurt less and less the environmental.

They are preparing the ground for in the future be able to use sustainable things such as windmills.

The consumers must be aware of the products they are buying and how they may or may not harm the environment.

The most hot years the planet has had have all been in the past 14 years.

It is believed that we humans are destryoing our world.

If teh artic keeps on melting places such as Florida and Shangai India and Manhattan will be flooded

Our ability to live is at risk.

How can we be more sustainable in bogota?

sustainable consuption in bogota.

Schools should use solar energy for all of the technology they use like computers that stundents can use at any time of the day. ALSO FOR SCREEN PROJECTORS AND TEACHERS COMPUTERS THAT ARE ON DURING THE ENTIRE DAY.

also bogota is a city with a lot of cars , a more sustainable way would be the cars being runned by solar power or people just using other transportations such as bikes , busses or the transmileneo.

teenagers in bogota should also be educated and taught about the importance of sustainablility and global warming and should be influences to do something about it.

also the market places such as carulla should have a campaign and a section with all the ecological and ENVIRONMENTAL products in it and teach costumers about it and influence them to buy from it.

my last idea for sustainablity in bogota is fr students to be requiered to take some class about sustainablilty in highschool to be able to graduate and have the credit.a class where they work with others and create campaighns about sustainable consupmtion.

Google Docs and Doctopus
What is Google docs?Google Docs is a freeware based system that makes part of the google drive service.In Google docs you can create and edit documents online at the same time as a another person editing the same document.
One of the mayor features of Google docs is that you can edit or create a document online while another person edits the same document at the same time as you.So this is really good and useful for things like projects, group works , teachers to student corrections and many more other school works.Also you can log in into your Google account and open documents from any computer.
Some gadgets and APPS you can add to Google docs are : Stikie notes where you can place stikie notes on the sides of your Google docs like for little reminders or comments.Turtles is another one , that are some tiny cute turtles that play around your screen.Also you can add Google docs directly to your homepage.Also you can share your documents with other people so they can aslo take a look at them or edit them.Their are also many Google docs app for smartphone such as iPhone , Android , Samsung ,Blackbery and some others.



What are the features of Google docs?
Gadgets or app for Google Docs:
What is doctopus
Doctopus is a  Google APP created and used mostly by teachers, that gives teachers the ability to auto-generate, pre-share, and manage grading and feedback on templates Docs for group and individual projects of students.

 how do you use it?
Doctopus is very easy to use,all you have to have is a gOole account. Its basically like a excel chart in google docs and then you can install the Doctapus app ,where you can list all of your students put their work on the column next and decide who to share it with, For example only with a specif students , or the whole class or group work etc.from their you can easily grade edit revise students works and you can aslo decide if students can or ca't view other students work for things like feedback.Here is a description of the program written by the teacher who created it:https://plus.google.com/114670488345865665282/posts/UVDJXkx7pnZ
and here is a link to a video that explain very detailed how to use each little thing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrB23XCeocI

 what would it be useful for
Doctopus is a Google app that was created by a teacher to make online revising and grading more easy and practical.So this program is most built for teacher and is also most useful for teachers top grade their students work or revise it.Even though it was made for teacher students can also use it to comment or revise and give comments to their peers work and this way they can give feedback to each other.Here is a list that the creator made explaining the flaws of Doctopus that were fixed:
Fixes and enhancements rolled in 2.1:
- Automatically add co-teacher(s) as editors on all student docs generated
- Optionally integrate with the use of per-student drop boxes (great for folks who use Teacher Dashboard or gClassFolders) using Folder ID.  The script will now add the assignment to a single destination folder to ease the burdens of grading as a batch, while ALSO adding the assignment to individual student folders!
- Now embeds an easy link to assignment folder view for quickly moving through a batch of student work.
- Spreadsheet formulas are now preserved when the script is run and when embargo for grading option is run.
- No longer sets an automated time trigger to fetch last edit time.  This is now a manual, menu driven process to avoid user confusion and pileups of triggers on user accounts where users don't know how to manage triggers.\

How does Docatpus realte to CNG ,
In CNG many of us use google docs all the time for diffrent class works , and teachers also use it to give us feedback on our work .Im not sure if a lot of people use doctapus at cng but they probably should because from what I learned today its a great way to revise student works and for students to give their peers feedback! Teachers at cng should probably start using doctapus and even teach us how we could also use it.
