As we progress, I am starting to get more and more attached to this site. I am starting to try out new formats and styles to portray our research, one of which a prototype of the format on the INDUSTRIALIZATION page. I like how we are progressing with this idea of advancements in vehicle technology as well. I like how we are starting to get into more topics that may be a bit more "cooler" then the ones we have done before. Hopefully we will get better as we progress and learn more about how vehicle technology advanced throughout the history of the United States.

I personally am starting to like these blog posts more and more as we progress. I like how we are researching about a topic we like and elaborating on it as well as learning something from it. This topic was mainly to explain the negative aspects of vehicle advancements, in this case examples such as promoting piracy. Hopefully this theme of explaining the good and bad aspects of vehicle advancements will continue. Especially when topics such as the World War come up.
-Hussein My interest in this topic has skyrocketed from the previous research blog post. Although I did enjoy reading about ironclad ships, it was really fun to learn about the history of the infamous pirate Blackbeard and what he did that made him so well-known. Before, this was more of a chore/another grade. But now, I'm looking forward to learning more about the evolution of transportation technology over time and its effects on society, leading up to today. I can't wait for the next research blog post, when I'll get to learn about tranportation effects during the American Revolution and Pre-Industrialization.
-Yaseen I like how in this blog post we gradually went from Native American life to the Age of Exploration. We plan on structuing our blog posts in a timeline fashion as the year progresses and hopefully we learn from what we are researching about as well as teach others about the importance of transportaion and how it effected everyday life from the beginning of the New World to now. I personally liked this blog research post as well for it was interersting to learn about different ships and make connections to their importances and advantages.
Our latest topic was a very interesting one to do and very different from the first one we did. It was nice to find articles and learn about information that is a little more relevant, as compared to the Native Americans whose continental dominance has long been diminished. However, I think the jump from Native Americans to classical European countries might have been a bigger jump in time than anticipated, so we'll probably talk about colonial America at this time and their transportation next time. Again, this is a great project in my opinion and I can't wait to learn more about how transportation has shaped the world we live in today.
-Yaseen I've been enjoying the blog so far. I like how I have to opportunity to learn and go more in depth about certain aspects of history that intrigue me. I like going off on my own searching for scholarly sources that I can base my research off of, but I wish it were easier to find scholarly sources and know that they are scholarly instead of asking the teacher. Overall, I'm enjoying this part of history class as it allows me to focus less on studying and memorizing historical events and more on just learning about interesting facts. I'm excited to continue to learn more about transportation and its effects on political and social aspects of society.
- Yaseen Bhuiyan This research assignment really broadened my knowledge on the relationship between the Native Americans and their environments. I was stumped on how to relate transportation into this theme, especially its relationship with political and social lives, but it all thankfully ended up piecing itself together like a puzzle. One issue was the fact that one of the sources was not checked with the teacher beforehand, although it was allowed on this post. Hopefully this will change on further posts. All in all, the assignment allowed me to think critically and make connections between given facts, to make an educated guess on how transportation (and environment in this case) affected the social and political lives of the various tribes across the United States.
