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
Smart tools	Lillian	It has a bunch of different tools on it.	as a ruler or protractor in math class

So you've used Google Drive for Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc... but, have you ever used Google Drive to create a form?  Do you even know what this means?  For this blog post, first answer the two questions I just asked... Then, tell me about your experience with survey-generating software.  Have you used any?  If so, which one(s)? 

I have never used google drive to create a form. I do not even know what that means. I don't think i have ever used any survey generating software. Therefore, i have no experience with them.

4/4/17 apps

How often do you utilize applications "apps" on your phone/tablet to make your life easier or more convenient?  Can you imagine life without "apps"?  How would your daily life be different if "apps" did not exist? 

I utilize applications on my phone very often. I use the messaging apps to get a hold of people i need to. I also use the phone app and face-time app to talk to people when I need to. I also use apps for social media such as snap chat, Instagram, and twitter. I couldn't imagine life without apps because we all use them so often. If they didn't exist I wouldn't be able to google things.

4/3/17- Weekend

Tell me all about your weekend.  Did you go to the movies, shopping, to Prom, etc.  Remember to use at least 5 complete sentences in your response.

My weekend was fun. On Friday I stayed home and watched Netflix. On Saturday I hung out with friends. Later that night I went to a bonfire with friends. It was fun. On Sunday I went to five guys to eat and then went to top golf with friends and we had a good time. I won with the most points. Sunday night I finished all the homework I had to.
