You’ve probably already heard about the upcoming Nintendo console, but if you haven’t it’s better if you start off with a trailer video that basically sums up the innovative features the Nintendo Staff has brought us:
The most impressive feature of this console is not the amount of good games it can play but the way it does so. There are multiple playing styles that come with the console, such as:
Tv mode: traditional gaming style on T.V.
Table top mode: with console stand keeping up tablet, used even if you’re away from T.V.
Hand-held mode: made possible by attaching the joy-cons to the console, you can still play wherever you go.
The Nintendo switch is basically a hybrid console that can be played on T.V. or on the go, as portable gaming console such as the previous Nintendo 3DS. Unlike the usual gaming consoles that use fragile CD’s, the Nintendo Switch uses cartridges to play games. The three main benefits are the durability, the storage capacity and the faster read-time, does the gaming console you have beat that?
The expected cost of the Nintendo switch is $299 unlike the newest console from Sony, the PS4 pro which currently cost around $399.
Prepare your wallets, as this won’t be an occasion to be missed, prepare for the future of gaming, forgetting virtual-reality, but Nintendo surely has a plan about it.

It has been 2 months since we’ve been doing similar assignments in our Digital Citizenship class, basically a tech class. We had to pick a subject to research in our genius project and do part of the research via twitter. My topic was education and I followed 17 people that were somewhat involved in my topic.
Sending tweets and mentioning the name of the Education experts was part of the assignment needed to accumulate some research. I remember sending 7 tweets to 7 tweeter accounts that were owned by experts in the field, the main requirement was that the person whom I sent the tweet had to be or have been engaged and/or worked in a schooling or educational environment. The people I had to pick had to be specific, and this probably led to the cleansing of 50% of the accounts on my list that revolved around my topic.
Of the 7 people to whom I sent tweets only 2 responded. The tweets that I sent followed a certain criterion, they had to be specific answers regarding my subject. Of the people that replied to me, Joan Young, a teacher and an author about education, provided the most detailed answer.
@FreuSigm I do believe changes definitely need to be made. Hard to conceptualize all of them in 140 char. though!
After her reply I later asked her to elaborate on her first response to my tweet and up until now, I’m waiting for her reply. The other expert that replied to me is mentioned after the first paragraph of this post, I obviously asked him to develop off his first answer as it was not concise enough, hopefully he’ll reply again.
As I’m the type of person to see the glass half-full I’ll say that the result of this Tweeter project was deceiving, I only received 2 replies; if I ever have the oppurtunity to redo this assignment I’ll Tweet to more than 15 people as this will increase the chances of getting a response, at least more than two replies.
This project was an eye-opening experience for me, as it helped shape and improve my communication and information gathering skills. These skills are quite crucial for me not only in school but outside of it too, especially in this digital age.
