Name Reflection

Scenes

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/40946178/


The stage has the scripts in common with the sprites and have to tell both what they have to do. You initialize sprites in a scene by telling them what to do. Many other projects would use scene changes like games. Other kids in my class did what I did and switched backdrops after 3 seconds each.

Penguin Joke Project

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/40632992/

Broadcast is very fun and it was a very cool thing on Scratch. I really enjoyed it and it was easy. You would use timing in a project when you need to time when a sprite is going to say something and when you need the speech bubble to appear. You would use broadcasting when you want two or more characters to have a conversation back and forth with each other.

Make A Block

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/40434486/


In make a block you can simply create a block using a single or several other blocks in one block. You might use make a block when you have a long script and want to shorten it you can just create blocks.

Debug It Reflection

My debugging strategy is to just trial and error and that worked very well for me. I would just give them a few tips and I would also tell them to just use trial and error because that is what worked for me.

10 Block Challenge Reflection

This activity helps me learn Scratch because it was able to give me any blocks and I was able to create something with them. The ten blocks restraints my ideas because I don't have a lot of the blocks I would typically use and I am stuck with the few that I was given and with that I was able to still create a video.

Scratch Reflection

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/38701978/#editor

This was very fun to use. What was surprising to me was how easy it was. It made it so much easier and made so much more sense as I was lead step by step. I like having more structure as a learner when I don't understand something as well. I like having more freedom as a learner when I do understand something. I feel most creative when I know how to use a site very well.

WebMaker

My changes on webmaker were not obvious but I still did it. The webpages changed slightly but it was very difficult to do. With lots of copying and pasting.

Final HTML draft

<h2 style="color:red">My Life</h2>
<h2 style="color:blue">By Christian Turchi</h2>


I like to fish. It is fun. I like to hike. It is also fun. I like to bike. This is one of my favorite activities.

I go up to Vermont a lot and I do many fun activities there. I have a very big family and lots of cousins. On Christmas and Easter we all go to my grandmothers and have homemade meat tortellini soup on Christmas and on Easter we have lasagna.

I love America and I have lived here my whole life. It is the greatest country on the face of the earth and will always be. I love freedom and I thank all the troops for fighting to protect this great nation.

HTML Intro

3. I would like to learn how to code a little more. Also I would like to learn the reason for coding and why it is what it is. Lastly, I would like to learn how to go a lot further with HTML and create something like a webpage.2. I have learned that you have to use coding in HTML. Also I have learned that  In HTML there are abbreviations for larger words such as paragraph=p.1. I am concerned for only one reason about making a webpage and that is the coding might be difficult.

Binary Numbers Sentence

After visiting Nora and Cory's blogs I liked both of the ideas for binary symbols. I liked Noras a little better only because she did not have the same symbols that I chose. My sentence I created is "Hi". ??!!!    ?!??!.

New Binary Code

My new binary code that I made is a hashtag and a money sign. when the hashtag is showing there is a number there and when the money sign is showing there is no number there. It is pretty simple and worked out good  for me.

Binary Numbers

The highest level I got to was ten because I didn't understand it at first but later got the hang of it. The hardest part of the binary game is just the adding because when the numbers get really high it is hard to add. I do not like using binary numbers to count with it is easy but not fun. I could use my five fingers to count binary by just doing every finger up is one and the fingers down are zero. I can make a connection with how binary numbers work and how computers work because they both have an on and off switch.

Eliza Reflection

Eliza was not human like. Make her have better responses to make it more realistic. I expect her to be more talkative and better at asking questions. I do see computers being better in the future.

Google Boys Reflection

The Google boys came a long way throughout there creation of Google. They became a two man cooperation by combining each others skills into one company and they were able to create an index of sites which is legal because they were not plagiarizing anything then once they had enough they were able to create their search engine, Google. They did not get along at first the two boys, but eventually they decided to combine their knowledge to do something great they are casual kids and just wanted to help others but it became something great. Some challenges Google faces as they move forward is hackers and money. They have way more money and websites on their search engine which is why they are better than everyonewellashey do not have adds all over the screen. They got their info by copying websites from other companies websites.

. I have learned what four-fold symmetry is and how it was used by the Native Americans.

. I learned how to on the computer make a design just like the natives made them.

Communication

I communicate by talking directly to someone. Also I communicate with texting. I prefer to talk to someone face to face rather than text though because I can get my point across better.

This project was very interesting. I learned what an operating system is and I also learned what RAM is. One struggle we had through out our project was communicating with each other but we figured it out eventually and just used Google Docs.
