I think that English 7 was very different from others English, more funny and interesting than boring and less routine.
I learned how to used differents tools to create bloggs, presentation, web page and I could interect with people of differents country in Second Life.
English 7 overcome the expectation that might be think, at the beggining i didn't know that homework in Internet could be so succesful as a tool to learn.
Final Reflexion
GREEN WIND
GREEN WIND PROYECT
We want to create a proyect related with the energy for the problem that Venezuela is happens,so one of the best ways to produce our own electricity is creating Wind Turbine.
A wind turbine converts the energy of wind into kinetic energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as pumping water, cutting lumber or grinding stones, the machine is called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is instead converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind turbine, wind power. Is our proyect we are going to work with mechanical energy to converted electricity.

How to make a wind turbine at home
Wind Turbines.
One of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to produce your own electricity. Power from the sun and wind is 100% renewable and avoids all the impacts associated with commercial energy production from power stations. Small wind turbines are ideal for householders, communities and small businesses to use for on-site energy generation. There are a range of different types of small wind turbine models and thanks to their flexibility small wind turbines can be installed in most locations Most wind turbines have three blades which face into the wind; the wind turns the blades round, this spins the shaft, which connects to a generator. A generator produces electrical energy from mechanical energy.
This is a video how to make a wind turbine at home.

Next-generation management:
This article elaborates to determine what leadership can be done to enhance its current business management system following enhancement opportunities.
• Strategy creation should target specific revealed gaps after the business is analytically and innovatively assessed and understood.
• Improvement efforts in a business need to be defined and targeted, which describes cross-functional business flow and metrics.
• Scorecards need to be linked to value chain functions with a report so that the metrics provide process predictability assessments.
• Organizations need a whole value chain assessment to determine where operational goals need to be established so that improvement efforts are made in areas that have linkage to providing the most enterprise-financials benefit.
Recommendations
To be competitive in an ever-changing environment, businesses need a working environment that leads to the 3 ‘R’s of business; i.e., everyone doing the right things the right way at the right time. Organizational leadership needs to be intimately involved in the creation, orchestration and efinement of its enterprise system to accomplish these business objectives.
This developed and orchestrated system needs to integrate scorecards,strategic planning, business improvements and control so that the enterprise as a whole benefits. The described ninestep Integrated Enterprise Excellence business management governance system provides a solution for achieving these objectives and for avoiding common shortcomings of current business systems.

Article about Industrial Engineering.
Industrial engineering is about choices. Other engineering disciplines apply skills to very specific areas. IE gives practitioners the opportunity to work in a variety of businesses. The most distinctive aspect of industrial engineering is the flexibility it offers. Whether it’s shortening a rollercoaster line, streamlining an operating room, distributing products worldwide, or manufacturing superior automobiles, all these challenges share the common goal of saving companies money and increasing efficiencies.
As companies adopt management philosophies of continuous productivity and quality improvement to survive in the increasingly competitive world market, the need for industrial engineers is growing. Industrial engineers are the only engineering professionals trained specifically to be productivity and quality improvement specialists.
Industrial engineers figure out how to do things better. They engineer processes and systems that improve quality and productivity. They work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy and other commodities. This is why many industrial engineers end up being promoted into management positions.
Many people are misled by the term industrial engineer. It’s not just about manufacturing. It also encompasses service industries, with many IEs employed in entertainment industries, shipping and logistics businesses, and health care organizations.
IEs make processes better in the following ways:
