November reflection

My favorite project we did in November was the interactive Scratch project. In this project i had to imply Creativity to come up with an idea for the project. I had to problem solve when a part didn't work i also had to make decisions on what the interactive part would be. I had to do some critical thinking on how parts would move and what the different types of obstacles would be. When something didn't work I had to make a lot of decisions on how to go about my problem, and in the and I found a way to make it work.
While making this Scratch project i learned that it's not very simple to create something that has moving parts and does things on command. while the Scratch project was fun I also learned how to create an interactive game on the computer. I think I'm most proud of how the project turned out. I'm proud that people thought it was interesting and cool. I am most happy with this piece of work in Scratch.

October reflection

Animoto was my absolute favorite project in October. It took a lot of creativity and critical thinking as well as Problem Solving,Decision Making, Digital Citizenship, Technology Operations and Concepts. Making videos on the internet is a lot fun but a lot of work. Making Animoto videos is very time consuming and sometimes very frustrating when an image would not fit. I had to use my imagination to come up with ideas and plan out the order of the images and music.
I learned how to create a video on the internet and post it for the world to see. I think I am most proud of my video I made for an English project. although i had a few typos and every time i changed something it changed the order it was fun.

August/ September reflections

My favorite project in September was working on the design Google Sketchup project. I really enjoyed using my imagination to create an airport. it took me a couple of days but it was well worth the trouble. This project uses creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, and technology operations and concepts. I had to use my imagination to come up with an idea a well as the design. this project took a lot of work but in the end it turned out really well.
I learned how to use a very simple computer program to create a very complex 3D model. i learned that it is not very easy to come up with something on the spot. I am proud of how the airport turned out, although i was first basing it off of of the Denver International Airport it became my own. I am extremely happy of how the airport turned out.

Happy people!

Happy people enjoy things unhappy people don't? True, people that are happy tend to enjoy the things that unhappy people do not. Happy people tend to have a very social life while unhappy people tend not to. Being happy helps a person to succeed in their relationship, career, or friendship/ social life. being happy reduces stress while being unhappy builds up stress and can lead to depression. it's really good to be happy, so try hard.
