5-11-17 Final Exam Reflection

5-11-17

I did enjoy this assignment, although it was a bit nerve wracking because I chose a topic where I had to put myself (and my brother since it was about him) out there a bit more. I find Office 365 to not be as accessible or easy as Google, but that may be due to the fact that I have a Samsung device so it's easy to share via my phone. I think it would be fun to use PPT Mix in the future, as it adds a bit of flavor to presentations and makes them more entertaining. I most enjoyed the independent factor of the class, as I was able to use problem-solving skills more to figure things out and I'm a bit more proficient with the computer now. My favorite assignment was the Current Events where we got to just choose something and write about it because I enjoy learning in general; and loosing the curriculum to simply be able to research whatever I chose was exciting. I think the class overall was good, but some of the curriculum wasn't the most engaging.

5-4-17 Wix Reflection

5-4-17

I enjoyed making the website, and I thought it was pretty easy and fun to make something professional looking. I decided to use Wix because it was easier and I felt I had more options, or at least I could find more options, although I didn't explore a ton. I wish I had gone ahead and done what I wanted to, which was a fake page for a Soda Shop that I would open if I had a lot of money. . .  If I had done that I think I would have been able to make it more in-depth, since the orchestra really doesn't have a lot to talk about.
I liked Mary H's for how funny and well put together it was (and it had a video). I also liked Olivia D's for the cool gallery and theme.

4-25-17 Wix and Weebly

4-25-17
I have never made a website before, besides the brief things we have done with Blogger so far. Aren't most websites made with coding though? So how do these websites to make websites work? Are websites that don't run on a website builder all coded?

I chose to use Wix because it's easier to use simpler. While Weebly might work better for more complicated work, Wix makes it easy to choose templates and I like their's better. I decided to make my Wix website about Orchestra. I don't think I'll actually give it to Mrs. Fear (the Orchestra teacher), but we need a website that gives good information, and we don't have that right now.

CE #5 Reflection

4-20-17
Current Event Link
I had a lot of fun with this current event, I researched several robots being used on the military.  I admit I went a bit overboard and wrote about a page and a half so . . . The main things were that the robots are always easy to modify and very durable.

4-17-17 App Presentations Reflection

 App Presentations Reflection
App Presentations Google Sheet

I did like this project, but I wish we could've done the thing you guys did last year, where we went to the library and did a walk-through demo. I get kinda nervous when I present too, and there were a lot of presentations to go through so those are two cons.
