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.
