SLJ Week 4, Day 3 #Activities 1,2,3 (2018-2019)

Activity #1

On your blog, tell us which one of the videos you liked the best and why?

The video I found interesting and liked, was Cacophony Project. Why? because I liked how he was trying to protect our birds. In the video I saw a tui, in his tree and I knew how much he cared. In his set up I saw that a cellphone with a microphone in a solar panel, to also picks up the predators sounds and uploads it straight to the cloud. I found this very interesting based on his way of tracking the predators down.
