Web Page Blog Post #10

I like to read food, makeup, or TV show webpages.  They interest me.  I want to make a how-to webpage for either one of the aforementioned things or a webpage detailing my favorite shows.

Excel Blog Post #9

I enjoyed our unit on Microsoft Excel very much.  It help me with organization, following directions, and relying on myself to figure it out.  Some lessons were hard, but I eventually understood them.

Is Eliza Human? Not really... Post #8

Programming Eliza to do what I wanted was very difficult. Computers are very wishy-washy which made it hard for me to make her say the things I wanted. Also,  the Eliza program is highly sensitive to capitalization and punctuation and when they weren't used or used in the wrong way it would get all up in arms. The course itself was very confusing and frustrating. It kept saying invalid, but never told me how to fix it. Also, there weren't really any directions so it was unclear on what I was suppose to do. Whenever I tried to enter in my code, I never knew if I got it wrong or right because I was confused by what to do. In conclusion, it was very hard trying to program Eliza because the course instructions were very unclear and computers in general are very picky and hypersensitive.

Scratch Holiday Card Post #7

This coding game was very frustrating.  I did not enjoy it one bit.  The instructions were not clear and I kept screwing up.  I spent a half hour on it, but I finally had to stop because it was aggravating me so much.  I couldn't get anything to work and nothing would go my way.

Lightbot Post #6

I thought Lightbotwas adorable. I really liked the way the program was set up, with all its obstacles.  I feel the hardest things were the turns and jumps.  You really needed to know what you were doing.  Overall I thought it was a lighthearted, fun little game to pass the time.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Angry Birds Programming Game Post #5

After completing the 20 levels of the Angry Birds/Plants vs. Zombies programming maze game, I can say that it was a fun challenge.  It started off very easy.  However, it presented many challenges including turning and  special blocks.  I enjoyed this game a lot and thought it presented me with a good amount of difficulty.
