Weekly blog

This week in class we talked about project 2 a lot. I'm a little more nervous about this on then the last one. This one you can be wrong on and has to be a formal paper. Finding an add i easy but picking at every detail of it is crazy. I a really happy we are doing a large portion of this in class because i really think i am going to need more help. The one thing i didn't really like was the color thing with them having meaning. Yes some colors have meaning but most advertisers use a color because it makes there product stand out more. If there product is clear like the nuva ring ad i looked at they are going to tend to use lighter colors and white. No one is going to add a hot pink on a clear ad it just wouldn't look right. also they use color to make things stand out. f we all used white black and tans everything would be boring and nothing would catch your attention.

Blog 4 i think

This week in call we worked on our projects in class which I know really helped me finish mine on time. Making the power point and everything was pretty easy but being able to look around and see what everyone else was doing helped n the process of narrowing my options and seeing what I should add or take out. Then today we saw all the presentations it was pretty cool to see the different ways and the different things people did with the project. I kinda wish I was as creative as some of the people in the class when it came to projects. Every ones presentation were short and I hope that that was ok with her because she never really said what we were supposed to say. I'm a little nervous on how hard she is going to grade the papers because I now mine isn't a very strong well thought out paper. It is more of just all my idea and feelings thrown into sentences. This week was a pretty easy week and I think next week will be too.

Week 2 blog

Thursday in class we watch the video on copyright and fair use. The video was kind of interesting but in a way hard to understand. I think it is really useful information to u that we might not use right now but we will in the future. I also like how in class she helped us with our thesis because i always have trouble starting mine and her examples and correcting them really help get me started in the process. The Harry Potter thing was very interesting activity that went along with it. Although I am not a very big fan of the books and movies I think the author deserved to win the case, because don’t see it fair that someone can make money off her books. If she would have never wrote the books he would of never been able to make any kind of encyclopedia on it. Its not even like he is doing it for a school purpose he is just doing it to make money. Even though it took the judge so long to decide on this case I think he made the right one in the end. I’m almost finished with my project so I am getting excited to see everyone else’s presentations and how they came up with there ideas. I myself made a power point because that seemed the easiest to me but I’m looking forward to seeing the creative ideas people have come up with.

[1 The range of different technology practices, values, and understandings you have developed. 2 How you have developed these technological practices, values, and understandings (where, how, with who). 3 Your feelings about these technological practices, values, and understandings.]

2) I have developed these over the years of being around them and threw people teaching me like the teacher or my dad or brother.
3)I'm getting more comfortable with them because i understand how to use them a little more so they arn't as foreign to me.

post for class

In yesterdays class we talked about this first project, which after reading all the projects description seems like the hardest for me. i'm not big on visual projects because my artistic skills are not very good. I hope that once i get the project rolling everything will kind of flow and i wont get stuck like i have on most of the other projects i had to do during high school. It seems like it is going o be a fun project, an watching everyone present seems kind of interesting. I think the hardest part of this paper is going to be making up a thesis statement because there are so many topics you can write about and making a thesis that fits them all is difficult. Tomorrow’s class will hopefully shed some light on good ways to write thesis statements and then I can start this project. Hopefully in the end this project won’t turn out to be a major disaster.

First Piece of Technology

the first piece of technology i can remember is snorkel and mini mouse mask that i used when i was at my grandparents. I think my grandpa got it for me but i can't remember exactly. Even though i only got to use it when i was at my grandparents i spent every moment in the pool with that thing strapped to my face and the snorkel coming out of my mouth and my little swimmies stopping me from going very far under the water. I'm not sure if it is still around because my aunt and uncle took the pool down this past summer and I'm not sure if they cleaned out the shed out not, and i haven't used them since i was like 10 so i guess i can't blame them if they did throw them away. I'm pretty sure my mom tossed the snorkel anyway after it got a crack in it from my brother and cousin always tossing it around. Just remembering this makes me want to call my aunt and see if the mini mouse mask is still in the shed. Snorkels and masks are still around today and are used for the same thing.
