Today's GrokIt:
Welcome to another year of GrokIt!
GrokIt originally appeared 7 years ago. While teaching at RHS, I conceived it as the digital equivalent of the Do Now or activator you may be used to other teachers giving to you to start the class.
Interestingly enough, I believe the blog has taken up a much more important role in my classes.
I envision using GrokIt as a hi-tech portal to get you and your energies focused on the class topics of the day by hyperlinking around the net to:
•discover state-of the-art technologies
•bump into some engaging topic
•just enjoy a fun and interesting website.
My hope is to try to kindle a spark of interest in computers and technology.
After all, the World Wide Web and everything in it was created by software developers, computer programmers, web designers, all kinds of techie people of which you are the next generation.
I also want to create a class community, a public forum from which you could express your opinions and see the opinions of others about these topics.
So here's today's GrokIt.
One of my favorite sites is Wired. Check it out @

I watched a video about video game sound designers. Never realized the even existed. How cool is that to design a sound that would be incorporated in a video game. Wonder what kind of background you need to do that?

I read an article about a game called Donut County, where you control a small hole in the ground and drop objects into the hole to make it bigger and eat everything on the screen.

I watched a video about the largest plane ever built that will fly spaceships to the top of the atmosphere and launch them from there! Be interesting to see if they even can get off the ground!
