http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0ByQdh1cJ4ok5Y2E3NDE3N2ItZmI3Mi00NTI4LThjNGItMTVlNTcyYmU3MWE3&hl=en

My favorite program to use this year was scratch. My favorite assignment was the final project where I made the moving dots you had to click. Creativity OR Innovation-had to come up with what to do and experiment with scratch to figure out how Critical Thinking-had to work with scratch to build up my game. Problem solving when the program didn't work I had to come up with solutions so it would. Technology Operations and Concepts was needed to do things like import back up pictures and files. also needed GMail skills to send it.
I learned there are programs like scratch out there that can help you create your own games. I was pretty proud of the dancing stick figure project where the program had about 50 costumes for the two sprites. It also had music.

multiple inteligence

i think it was pretty accurate, almost spot on. i think it was worth the time. i definetely like logic, and i love chilling with friends, so its no wonder those were tied for first. i stink at music and don't care that much about nature, so that score made sense too.

validation

i think that guy is good but predictable and a little fake. but sometimes thats a good thing, like disney movies. only i don't like disney movies. but it was a charming plot, kind of like finding nemo

Adverisment assignment

five adjectives to describe this commercial would be funny, weird, cool, awesome, interesting. It directs it towards everyone and they are trying to sell snickers. You realize what they are advertising right towards the end. And the assumptions that were made was that you are not yourself when you are hungry and usually they are true.

World Tour Reflections

On My tour I went the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, and Brazil.

Communication OR Collaboration- We shared our google docs with you.

Research Fluency OR Information Fluency- Had to find info fast and seach travelocity and stuff quickly.

Critical Thinking- solved 30 second limit on animote.

Problem Solving OR Decision Making- solved 30 second limit on animoto.

Digital Citizenship- didn't plagerize or steal work.

Technology Operations and Concepts-

Used animoto and google docs.

Happy People

I disagree in some ways. In my experience less successful people (money and material wise) are often not as happy as middle class people. I think balance leads to happiness, not necessarily success. On the other hand, if your really poor your can lose happiness due to lack of vital needs. A total balance and balanced state of mind leads to happiness. Optimism doesn't hurt either.

Google sketch was an interesting experience. With the right steps it actually looks real. If your just messing around it looks all weird and stuff. the Parthenon looked pretty sweet. i might actually use this some day.
