Scratch Day 2 Blog Post #20

  Here is the link to my 10 Block Challenge- http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22932749/#editor
   
How does this activity help you learn Scratch?
This activity helped me learn Scratch by setting a boundary on what I could use.  The ten block challenge gave me a little bit of everything to test out.

How does the 10 block restraint impact your ideas?
It impacts my ideas substantially.  I felt like I couldn't be creative.  I got frustrated.  I did not like this challenge because I found it difficult.

Scratch Day 1 Blog Post #19

1. What was surprising about the activity?

The simplicity of the activity surprised me the most.  When I tried to do Scratch during the problem solving unit, I got frustrated and gave up. 

2. How did it feel to be led step-by-step through the activity?

It was so much better being led step-by-step.  I felt more comfortable and I understood it. 

3. As a learner (with Scratch and beyond), when do you like having more structure?
When do you like having more freedom?
When do you feel most creative?

I like having a lot of structure when I am faced with a big project that is worth a lot.  Those are the things I need clear directions for. I want more freedom when doing smaller activities where things are simpler. I feel most creative with more freedom given to me.

HTML Webpage Blog Post #18

Here is the link to my webpage: M:\Computer Applications\HTML Webpage.html.  I really liked the HTML webpage project as a whole.  I had a lot of fun with it, got my creative juices flowing, but I still ran into problems.  One problem I had was setting the background color.  I kept getting the HTML wrong and it was really frustrating.  Another problem I had was getting the layout just the way I wanted.  I really had to pay attention to the height and width.  It made me really annoyed and brought out my perfectionism.  The final problem I had was the images.  My two successes were the setup of all my mini sections within the webpage and the links. My favorite part about the project was that it was whatever you wanted it to be.  It felt really personal.

Music Is My Life Music is a huge part of myself and I completely rely on it. I constantly have earbuds in. It helps me focus like when I'm doing my homework, even though some people say it makes them distracted. I guess the main reason I like music is because I love singing.

Favorite Artists/Bands

X-ray Goggles Blog Post #12

For my first x-ray goggles remix, I chose to make Tumblr.com all about me, complete with a selfie and narcissism.  Here is a link to it: http://vnavin.makes.org/goggles/vnavins-remix-of-log-in-tumblr-2. For my second remix, I changed Twitter.  I hate Twitter and think it's stupid. Here's a link to my remix of Twitter: http://vnavin.makes.org/goggles/vnavins-remix-of-twitter. My final remix was Instagram: http://vnavin.makes.org/goggles/vnavins-remix-of-instagram.
