Radio Park Elementary School Field Trip

I always have the idea that children live in another world than ours' and I was pretty sure we will be a guests in that world which is full of activeness and happiness. The field trip was very interesting for me because, to be honest, I haven't go to an elementary school since the day I finished my studies at one. I expected that each class contains more children than we saw but there were only 16 students in the class I was in. I also presumed that the children will be shy, but I found out that are so cute and they like to talk to other about some specific things like their brothers, their sisters and their best games,songs and cartoon.
The thing I noticed here in the US us that students can wear anything for school, while in my home country, students wear a special uniform. I think that a special uniform is better for children because that will make them feel more close and proud of there school.
Finally, for those who want to go to this school from IECP in the future, I recommend you to enjoy your time with the kids as much as you can. Do never hesitate to knock the door of their world and visit for a while.



Thank you,

Summary #1

Need A Parking Space? Look In Your Hand

            In the article “Need A Parking Space? Look In Your Hand” the writer, Richard Gonzales presents a new App called SFpark, San Francisco park, and describes its system and the way it works. SFpark is a parking application which is designed to prevent wasting time on looking for a park in San Francisco. With a huge system of more than 8000 parking metered and 12000 spaced in the city-owned garages fitted with smart sensors allow the application user to know the availability using a color scale from red, low availability, to sky blue, higher availability. Also it updates the motorists with the prices so they can find the price they want. This app is also helps to avoid congestion by adjusting meter prices on demand to encourage drivers to “Make trips in off-peak hours”. Nowadays, around 25000 people downloaded the App and more cities like LA and Fort Worth have also introduced a smartphone parking App.
