John-Michael McIntyre 9/14/10 MYP 5 Technology Technology video review

In the video we watched last class, I learnt a lot about creativity and making things with your hands. I learnt about the different inventions he creates for a living and how he made his learning style in to what he does for a living and how he makes his money.

In the video he had many inventions that he created using his own style of creativity. One of his inventions was a machine that moved a wishbone to make it look like it was walking. He said that he was playing with a wishbone, and his creative mind took over and so he thought of an invention to make. I thought that the way he came up with this idea was really unique and cool because he picked something that is organic and is found in everyday life and connected it with machinery and inventions to make something entertaining. I also liked the other invention where he had the machine breaking up the chair and it would put it back together again. I thought that this idea was very interesting because I just thought the way he had the idea and how it looked in the end was very entertaining. Not only that but I loved the way he thought of his ideas and how he created his machines different from everyone else. His machines were very small and fragile, but they had many different pieces and steps all working together to do one thing.

The man we watched in the video he also talked about he loved to make things with his hands so that’s when he decided to start making his machines. This shows how he turned his learning style into his job. I thought this was very interesting because he showed me that your learning style isn’t only restricted to school. Even when you get out of school your learning style will affect all of the things you do whether it be a job or just something in you do in your everyday life.

In conclusion I thought it was very good video and I enjoyed it very much. I learnt a lot about my learning style and how I can incorporate it with my creativity.
