Name Project

Scratch Intro

In the Scratch Program there are 10 different options of code. There is also a costume tag where you can change your sprite, otherwise known as your character. In this option there are about 18 different categories of costumes to pick from. In the sounds tab there are about 8 different categories of sounds to pick from. In the backdrop tag there is about 12 different categories of backgrounds to add to your creation. In the sprite area at the bottom it gives you the option to add a sprite from scratch, make/ draw your own, upload a picture for a sprite, or to take a picture with a camera to use for a sprite.

Lesson #6

 These are the original pictures that I used to edit then add to my webpage.
M:\ECS\Lesson6.html

Each image I used I changed the color or added something to it. For the first turkey picture I changed the color so it was in black and white, For the first thanksgiving picture I changed the color scheme also so it was in black and white. For the penguin picture I added a dream bubble of a fish because the penguin is hungry. For my second turkey picture I drew a picture of me next to it using the paint program on the computer.

W3 Schools HTML Pre Quiz

In class today we took a pre quiz on the HTML tags. I got a 52%. I need to learn more html tags before the next test and become more familiar with how to change a website.

Intro to HTML

In class I used my notes to learn how to use the HTML tutorial. This made it a lot easier to learn how to work it. To get through lesson 1 I used notepad to type my tags, I copied what Mrs. Connor told us to write but changed it around to make it my own. In the future I want to learn how to add pictures to a website or how to change the colors of the letters. This would make websites more pleasing to look at.
This was the outcome of my lesson 1.

Using X-Ray Goggles

Exploring with X-Ray Goggles on Edline

         Today in class we explored the x-ray goggles from webmaker.org. These "X-Ray Goggles" made it possible to change things on a website and personalize it however you want to. The website webmaker.org is helpful for people looking to make their own website because it helps you get started and teaches you the basics. I changed our Edline Homepage and made it a little different from what it really is.

20 Questions Reflection

Today in class we played the game 20 questions with a partner. To play this game you think of something, usually a person place or thing, and the computer asks you questions trying to guess what it is. When it was my partners turn we won every time. We used different categories like music, UK Music, famous people, and favorite names. The computer never guessed One Direction, Harry Styles, Donald Trump, or the name Julia. The computer ended up asking us about 30 questions until it gave up and asked for the answer. I am surprised that the computer couldn't guess these things because they are very popular categories. The computer must be outdated because it didn't guess these things.

What I Observed From Other Classmates Designs:

While looking through my classmates blogs I noticed that everyone had their own way of designing the different Navajo Rugs. Some people like myself kept the original colors from the picture, but others changed the colors to make it more personal. It was interesting to see what they did for designs when we were given the opportunity to design something of our own. Everyone had their own ideas and designs which was interesting to see how they expressed themselves.

My Design

My Christmas Tree Design

I tried to remake my design of a Christmas tree on the software we were using in class.

Navajo Rug Design

Navajo Rug

Making the Navajo Rug design was harder because there were more triangles and other angles where you had to figure out how to make diagonal lines. This was very interesting because putting in the points to make a triangle made it a lot easier for me. This was much more difficult than the other designs I created previous to this one.

Pacific Northwest Basket Weaver

While making this image of the dog I was challenged while making the tail because it was a diagonal line. Other than that the other parts of the dog weren't that hard.

About Me

My name is Emma and I enjoy figure skating and running. I have been skating since i was 2 and a half and I plan on teaching when I get older. I also run a lot and I just completed my second half marathon with my mom!  I took this class so I could learn more about computers and to feel more comfortable exploring and learning new things on the computer. Technology is very important in this day and I think this class will help me a lot and make me more comfortable with working on the computer with different software's. I'm very excited to learn more about computer science
