Apps to make João Pessoa a better place.

# data[].attributes.body
The improvement of technology resulted in many awesome devices, and one of then are the smartphones. Using them we can create and use apps to improve our lives. So, why not use them to make João Pessoa a better city and reference to others?

Talking specifically about Mobility, an app can be created with the goal to show the route of all bus lines of the city helping all the people that use this public transport. In the same app, another funcionality can be show all the streets that has bike paths, informing the population where they can use bikes as a transport with safety.

Now talking about two areas: Sustainability and Education. An app can be created in game format and the main public will be kids. This game will teach, in a funny and interactive way, how to recycle. Another games can be created and put in this app with the same purpose: teach kids and informe them about the environment.

Another app can be created to map all the medical centers (UPA's, hospitals...) and inform the functionalities offered by each place. Thus, the population can know where to go to found a specific (or not) service in the Health area.

These are some effective  ideas that technology allows, affecting the population and the city in a good way.

The technology  can be really dangerous and harmful to people, but we can also use it like a tool to make our city a better place. The sustainability is a good concept growing in João Pessoa, some ONGs are working hard to get recyclable materials to transform what was trash in new products. This kind of thing can help the planet and can help a lot of poor people to have a job and to survive. If this ONGs had a page in social networks, they could spread their job, schedule recyclables collections and selling their products quickly.
In that picture you can meet the work than an artisan makes using PET bottles in João Pessoa.

The technology can help not only the students to have interest in learning, but can help the teacher in ordinary tasks like calcute the student's final grade or the percentage of missing class some student have. A software to replace a teacher's attendance and roll bock could save them time. A software need inputs to give us some results, so the teachers have to keep doing the roll call and correcting the exams, but now the software would show the student's media, their presence (could be infographics), compare the develop between exams and between students and the teacher could type the notes about the students wherever they are, they only will need a tablet or computer to do it. Nobody but the teacher can view and edit the informations, every teacher have to have a login and password to acess their virtual classroom. If the teachers agreed, they could have an option to share informations about  students in commom.

We have to understand the most of part of students are digital natives, but the teachers are not. So it's hard to them use technology in the classroom, many of them even know how they can do it. It will be interesting if the teachers had training with some expert in the area, someone that could show some apps that already exist and internet tools they can use to make classes more interactive and pleasure to students. After the apropriate training they could create them own interactive exercises, maybe blogs or podcasts too to bring the interest in learn back.

In my humble opinion, a simple way of increase the culture level in João Pessoa, is just to create more comunication to show the events that happens here, doing this we can choose for those we rather go instead of just go to the ones we were abble to know.

# data[].attributes.body
Education i a area that, in the last years, everybody is talking about. I think that we can use technology in many ways to make education in João Pessoa better, one way is the make available more on line classes so children can have different types of information to study from.

# data[].attributes.body
A good way to improve our mobility is to adjust the bus system to a gps mechanism, this way we can have the exact information of where the bus we want is, and we can make a better use of our time instead of just wait forever for a bus that is far away.

The problem of mobility in João Pessoa is one of the problems that I'm most concerned about my city. I think that the Government coul use the technology to help us. Like, one kind of app that you register yourself and get points always you do something good to the mobility of João Pessoa. Like, to use bicycle (but is important to invest in bike paths and safety to cyclists), to get a car ride or to a get bus (but is necessary invest in public transportation- better and more bus and options of companies, cheap tickets...). This points would be exchanged for benefits.

João Pessoa is a  great place to live and to enjoy. We have a lot of differents places that we can go when we want enjoy our free time. You can know a lot of places, but there will always be unknown places.

The CULTURE of our city is big and good, and the people should to knows. So, why not creat an app that peoples can share the places and peoples thats "makes culture", like a concert, a dramatics, an exhibition. I know some artists and some bands, for exemplo. And wanna know something about culture will happen in this weekend. How can I to discover this? The app would have categories and way to share videos and  pictures about what is spoken.  And, I think would be important that the Secretary of Culture of Paraíba shares  the news about cultural projects statewide. #shareourculture

The health posts in Brazil are very precarious them don´t have enough medics, medicines and equipments and because of that thousands of people die. So I think that the governmnt should use our taxes that are very high to hire qualified medics, buy medicines, equipments and mainatence them.

# data[].attributes.body
In João Pessoa we have a place that have a lot of old buildings like churches, trade centers and old houses, those buildings show us a lot how was the architecture, but those buildis are very worn and very dangerous at night. Because of that I think the government should reform those buildings and make than safer Some of the biggest problems nowadays are the violence and criminality , which is growing every day and those problems kill thousands every day. ��X��*

Public transport in Brazil nowadays is precarious, but not just the bus are broken the waiting points too. Because of that I think the government should reform then both, placing air conditioners in the buses and cover the waiting points that are without cover.

The education in Brazil is very bad, and now with this new reform that the politics are trying to put, it'll get worse. In some countries, the students doesn't have test, they study just 4 hours per day and these countries are the bests in the education topic. So, the govenment could imitate these systems of education of this countries to improve the education. And, try to better the public schools, that nowadays are one of the worses in Brazil

Nowadays, the government seems to not care about the health of the population, because the hospitals, both particular as public are very bad. There are people dying waiting to be attended. So, the government could improving the machines and hiring qualified people to attend all the population with the best service. And creating new hospitals to attend all the population and creating campaigns to eat healthy food and have healthy habits

In João Pessoa, there are a lot of places that were important to our history, entertainment and etc. But, the government seems not to care about this tourists points, like Espaço Cultural, which is almost abandoned. So, the government could create apps that would tell the tourist and the citizens where are this point and the thing that it offers. And the government could reform this places to be more atractive to the public.

One of the most famous centre of culture in our city is "Estação Ciências" but it is near to be closed because there is almost falling down because of the level of the sea that is going up. There are many ways to stop this and keep the Espaço Cultural still between us!

Lots of students struggle nowadays to reach good grades at ENEM. But what if we could help them? A program that simulates this test would be really helpful to prepare João Pessoa students to the final proof. It would have tests with the same number of random questions about the subjects ENEM tends to include the most and would count the time you take to answer them, with the limit of 5 hours. It would also have a space for the composing, with atual themes that change all the time based on the news and are randomly thrown upon the student, so it can test its writing and knowledge skills. The composing and the test would be sent to a volunteer teacher that will correct it and send the student's grade back, for the program to analyze what he/she did wrong and suggest themes for him to study more, how many hours he/she should study per day, what he/she should improve on her/his composing, etc.

We have some great cultural centers in João Pessoa, but we tend not to visit them that much. What I suggest that would be nice to increase the number of visitors in those places is a website, an online platform, that includes information about all those places. It would show pictures of the buildings, the opening hours and days, what attractions they're having on that day and until when they're going to last, information about the artists that are exposing and its type of art, prices of tickets, publicity of upcoming events, etc. The managers of this website would be the representants of each center, that will be chosen by them, specially to update informations about the centers constantly based on their schedual changes. The platform would also have spaces for comments of visitors, questions about informations, artists to contact the places so they can schedual a meeting to show off their art and if it could participate of some future event, etc.

We could develop a program, like an app, for cellphones, tablets, etc., that shows a map of the whole city, so you could use it as a GPS, but it would also let you search for the best places to visit, commercial places, restaurants, hotels, anything you want to. It would have categories with what environments you prefer, what kinds of restaurants you want to go, or what type of art you want to see, what day and time you're going, and, based on the categories you checked, it would show you the options that are available in the same time. It would help not only the people that live here, but specially the tourists that most of the time ends up losing lots of attractions we have here, because we don't make enough publicity of them. It should have at least three languages: portuguese, english and spanish, and it should give other types of information about what you choosed to visit and when, like the weather, the temperature, if it might rain in the day, the best hours to visit this place, other people's comments about it, pictures of it, etc. It could also have a space for locals or other tourists that had already visited the city to post their favorite places in the city, and why they're good, and based on that people could find new interesting points.
