Wordle #1

Wordle: Innovation

The site that I used for this was the one of the president of the (ITIF) or The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation. Where he is talking about getting the government more involved in supporting our country to move forward even though we are in hard times at the moment, but it will help if we get moving and getting people better education for a quality price. This will also lead to us going up the ranks of the world in innovation and get us to the top with our competitors such as China and Australia.

Preliminary Links and Descriptions


This site is showing and talking about the rankings of soldiers in ancient Macedonia and Greece, but it is also explaining the building of their weapons such as the spears, shields, catapults, and bow with arrows during their battles and the casualties related to the use of these weapons.

This site talks about the period of Alexander The Greats fathers rule and his life growing up, but it also talks about Alexander himself and his conquests, battles, and lands he added to his own up to the time of his unlikely death at the age of 32.

This source gives a description of Alexander The Great and when he took over for his father, but also how he used what resources he had laying around to help him build an army with all of his scholarly knowledge about warfare and motivational speeches he gave to his men, in fact even how he was a critical thinker.

This site has information found by the (ITIF) or The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation about what the ranking of the individual states of the United States of America are and comparing them to those of other nations and countries over many years and how they are picking up or falling behind due to what they are doing at that moment.

This site has the statement made by the president of the (ITIF) or The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation which says that if the government does not cooperate with the business and corporations that are dealing with things to make America's future a brighter day, we will fall behind other nations who are the top innovators such as Australia and China. He also brings up statistics about manufacturing and how everything even the smallest product and detail can be improved if everyone comes together and works for a better tomorrow.
