Stand and Deliver

Stand and Deliver was really cool because of how he taught Calculus to a large group of people and even though it was hard he did it .One word that would describe it would be teaching because he had hard times with some of the students and how they got accused of cheating.It was also really cool because they proved them wrong when they re-took the test.It was a reallly amazing movie becuase it was cool how he taught them was awesome.Jamie Escalente died last year becuase of cancer.He was really amazing what he did and he is my role model.

The Big Test

I can't belive that the taks test is next week!I know I am going to pass because I have been trying hard and I have been practicing.I'm really nevous that I moght fail but I know that if I take my time and try my best I could do it.When its over I'm going to wait till I find out what i got.I can't wait.

iPads for Kids

I think that using ipads is good because if they are doing a project they can go look it up on the ipad instead of going to share computers.Also because they can express their artwork into it.Another reason why is because they have an app that helps them go wherever they need to go without going to a different computer.Some things that are disadvantages are that they could lie and go on to another web site they aren't suppose to and because they dont know how to use them because they are 2nd and 3rd graders.Using the iPad is great because of all the things you can do.

Game Demo Progress

So far my profress on my game is good because I am not very close to finishing it but I am almost done.If I work on it harder and I try to finish I might have my own game.I learned how to close open gaps with out taking all your time all you do is press this button on the editing bar.I'm proud of where I am in my game because its really cool and close to finished.Its really colorful and awesome and I like editing the game demo because when you are done with it it's going to turn out amazing.

Playing Games for Ideas

The first game I played was Bloxorx it has a timer and music.Bloxorx had a cool theme of what to do but it didnt really help me in my game that much and game. I played was B-cubed it had a cool background because it was an outer space.I think the game developers got a real picture or imagined what the background was going to look like.The designing page or editing my game might help me with making it better.

Game Progress Reflection

I learned how to drag and drop things in flash and how to change colors when you drag and drop them.I learned how to create some cool things in flash like people and tracing pictures.I wasn't able to help someone with my game because i am usually the one that needs help.So far I am happy with what I have started with and I think my game is gonna turn out really well.I never get frustrated with my work if I get angry or fustrated I calm down or try out something  to get my mind off of it.

Blogging About Blogging

If I didn't have blogging I would make a committee to try and get it in the school.Another way would be to talk to the Principal or have a potion to get it involed.Its good because it helps you express your feelings and people can share their feelings and opinons too.Some other are that people that want to follow your blog to see your post on your everyday life can follow it.You can use blogger to post things that are happening in your life and see what people say.
