Two different types of setup of a workplace are shown in the video.
1. Compare the two types of setup and state reasons why one of the setup is preferred.
-The setup on the right is most preferred.
--It is a lot more neat and organised, such it is condusive for work.
--The chair in the right setup is flexible and can be positioned differently for different purposes.2. What are the area of considerations when designing a conducive and comfortable workplace?
-Basically, I think that the areas of considerations are those listed in the video, which is:
--Comfort and simplicity
--Height and depth (eg computer monitors)
--Task lighting
--Freedom of movement
--Comfort, even after being in a position for a prolonged time
--Useable desk space
3. State the reasons why these considerations are important.

Holiday Homework: Part 2
Assignment:
As part of your research into understanding the elderly, you are tasked to also take video clips, photographs, or any other forms of recordable media to show how the elderly cope with their daily routines. These could include, but not necessarily limited to, every day activities such as: cooking a simple meal, pouring water from a flask, going to the market to buy groceries, going down the stairs, exercising, etc.
As a follow up, each one of you would do a podcast or a writeup of your observations and interviews with the elderly, caretaker, nurses or anyone who work with the elderly. Find out from them what are the problems that the elderly faces. Look for opportunities to observe and interview them such as at the senior citizens corners, void decks, hawker centers, etc.
For the observation, I have taken 2 videos on my grandmother sewing on the sewing machine and cooking. These are some of the frequent activities she does in her everyday life.
From the videos, I observe that my grandmother is a very active person, although she has long retired. Because of that, she is still very strong and does not fall sick as easily as other people her age.
Also, she finds joy and takes pride in doing such things, as what she is doing is very meaningful, both to herself and to the people around her. This way, she will not get bored and will continue to have fun even at her age.
In conclusion, I find that my grandmother is a nice person to be around with, and I need to learn from her interms of character and graciousness.

- After reading the CAI report, what do you are the THREE things that you can do, as an SST student, to help overcome these elderly challenges.
1. The four key recommendations of the report are to create elderly-friendly houses, make more places accessible to the disabled and elderly, provide more care for them, and create more opportunities for the elderly to live to their fullest potentials.
2. The CAI report is recommending to make our public housing more elderly-friendly by suggesting to provide different housing options specially for the elderly.

Make sure that you written your name on the comments.
During the 25 minutes given during our ADMT lesson, I have taken 13 photos, of which I have chosen the best 5 photos to post here. I used the webcam embedded in our Learning Devices to take these photos.
First, I took a picture of Kang Yan, who wanted to take a photo of me. So, we made a deal, that we will take a photo of each other, so as to be fair.
Soon after, Kok Yin came over and wanted to take a picture of me and Kang Yan. Since both of us are using our Learning Devices to take our photos, we decided to take a picture of each other's Learning Devices such that we can see each other's screens.
After a long time of searching for people to take a photo of, I went over to the back of the canteen opposite the food stalls to think of ideas. Just then, I bumped into Zach, who was willing to let me take a photo of him. He immediately did that funny pose, so I quickly took a photo of him.
With only 5 minutes left, I walked out to the corridor only to find that Mr Chua and Mr Soh just walked out to the canteen for lunch. So, everyone gathered around them to take their photos as this is a 'rare' chance you can actually take a photo of them.

Difference between Isometric, Oblique and Orthographic Drawing (Individual)
Assignment:
You are to post your findings on the difference between Isometric, Oblique and Orthographic Drawing. State with illustration the difference between the 3 types of drawing. Remember to acknowledge the source or your findings.
Submitting your work...
1. Post on the blog that you have created earlier. Blog name: ADMT-Environment.
2. Give the title in your post : Difference between Isometric, Oblique and Orthographic Drawing.
3. Copy and paste the hyperlink of this particular post to the Comments section in this post.
Orthographic projection is
-a means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions
-a form of parallel projection, where the view direction is orthogonal to the projection plane,[1] resulting -in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface which is further -divided into multiview orthographic projections and axonometric pictorials.
Oblique projection is
-a simple type of graphical projection used for producing pictorial, two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects.
Isometric projection is
-a method of visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions, in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angles between any two of them are 120 degrees.
-one of the projections used in technical and engineering drawings
The Difference:
Orthographic projection is drawing 3D objects in a 2D picture while oblique projection is drawing 2D objects in a 3D picture while isometric projection is drawing 3D objects in a 2D picture such that the three dimensions meet at a point and the angle in between any two of them will be 120 degrees.

Lesson 1 - Introduction to Art, Design, Media and Technology (Personal Reflection)
Assignment:
What does ADMT means to you?
2. What are the attitude that an ADMT student should have?
3. What are your aspirations as an ADMT student?
4. How do you think you can achieve your aspiration?
5. Sketch how the world would look like without art, design, media and technology. Describe briefly your sketch. [Take a picture of your sketch and post it on your personal blog.
To me, ADMT is the study of art, design, media, and technology put together into one course as they are related to each other and together, they can do amazing things. An ADMT student's attitude should be one that is easy-going and not criticize each other's ideas. I aspire to create with my group something that is of use to the people in the world and friendly towards the environment as well. I plan to achieve this by being more observant to nature and find out what needs to be improved in the society such that I can create a product that suits its needs. The picture resembles what the world would look like in the eyes if a human living in a world without ADMT--nothing.
