final exam blog post-5/10/17

it was cool to use Office 365 and PowerPoint mix. I liked how you can add video, music and draw on the presentation. It was a little hard to figure out how to use it with all of the things you can do. compared to google docs, I think 365 isn't as good. Google is a lot easier to use. I might use PowerPoint mix again in the future if i feel like making a cool presentation.

5/4/17 website reflection

• Reflect on your experience with Weebly or Wix.  Did you enjoy building your own website?  Did you find it easy, hard, etc...  Now that you know these free/low cost options exist, would you use a tool like this to create a website in the future?
• After reviewing the websites of 10 of your classmates, reflect on your TWO favorites
• Why did you like these websites so much? 

For my website I chose to use Wix because it was cool and had a lot of different options. I really enjoyed creating the website and I thought it was pretty easy. I would definitely use a tool like these in the future to create a website if I was making a presentation for a school project. I especially liked all of the different options for the type of website you wanted.

My two favorite websites from the class were Maggie's and Grace's. I liked Maggie's because she did hers on soccer and I also did Mine about soccer. She also added a lot of color and pictures which made the website stand out. I like Graces because It was also about soccer and it had a really cool background picture. I also used to play for sporting blue valley so It was cool to see a website about that.

4/25/17 website selection

Have you ever created a website before?  If yes, what technology did you use?  HTML, Weebly, Wix, etc.?  Tell me about your experience....  then continue below

If you answered no to the above question, then you are in for a treat.  

Everyone...continued blog post.  Take a look around Weebly & Wix and decide which website creation tool you like the best and will use for this project. (In your blog post, tell me which one you've selected and why)  Once you have seen what both have to offer, select an activity/club/sport that you are involved with (share with me which one you have chosen & why you selected this activity/club/sport).  Now, begin creating your website using the assignment sheet below. 

I have never created a website before. I selected wix for my website instead of weebly because it seemed simpler and it had more options for templates. I think that wix has a greater opportunity for customization. I selected soccer as my sport because I played soccer last year as a freshmen.

4/17/17- Favorite new apps

Using your notes sheet from our class "App Investigation" presentations last week, select FIVE apps that you do NOT currently use, but now might download.  Create a table with the following information & include it in your blog post. 

Please also include a reflection on the project overall.  Did you enjoy this project?  Why/Why not?

This project was a fun way to introduce others to apps that we enjoy using. I liked doing this project because we got to pick which app we wanted and also we got to choose the presentation website that we used. That made the project very fun to be able to have that choice. I learned about a lot of different apps that I had never heard of and will probably download. Therefore, It was an interesting activity and we got to see what other people liked to do.

Name of APP	Name of Student Presenter	What you found interesting about the APP	How will you use the APP?
Socratic	Tucker	It can find an answer to any question by taking a picture of it	to help me with my homework
