5/16/17 Overall

I really loved emerging technology this semester. I had no idea what I was getting myself into and wasn't that excited going into the class. Although, after the very first day of class with Mrs. Peres I knew I was going to really enjoy it and I did. One thing that I loved about this class is the alone time. She gave us an assignment, explained it the first day, and let us work alone from then on out and get stuff done in a quick manner. We may have gotten many assignments, but Mrs. Peres gave us just the right amount of time to complete them. I also really liked the organization of keeping every assignment in my blog and getting to design that. One of my favorite assignments was the website. I love that I got to create my very own website on dance because it means so much to me. My homepage background of my team on a hill is my favorite part of my whole website. I really don't have any suggestions on how to make this class better for the future. I truly did like everything about it.

5/12/17 How to Video

Using PowerPoint Mix went pretty smoothly for me. The only thing that didn't work (for everyone) is the drawing and talking tool together.  I really enjoyed this assignment because it was fun, even though the videos of me talking and doing are a bit rough.  I feel as though Office 365 is so much more interesting than google slides and google drive. Now that I know to use  ppt mix I will use that skill for future presentations.

5/4/17 Website Reflection

I really enjoyed building my own website about something that I love. I found the creating process so much easier than what I thought it was going to be. Now that I know that there is free sources like Weebly and Wix, there is a possibility I could use one or the other in the future. I wanted to use Weebly to challenge myself because I have already used Wix for a photography assignment. Not only did I like creating a website myself, but I also like that I got the time to look at everybody else's sites.

  After looking at ten people's websites in the class, my two favorites are Niki and Sydney's. Niki's site is all about our planet and getting involved to make a change. I loved her website because she made it very educational yet eye opening at the same time with all of the moving pictures. Sydney made her website all about dance and made it more of a blog. I really enjoyed how she included not only tons of great pictures, but also lots and lots of videos of dances which is super fun.

4/27/17 Website selection

The only time I have created a website was for photography class. I used Wix to make a site of all of the pictures I took. For this assignment I am making a website all about  le dance using Weebly. I chose Weebly because I wanted to try something different.

4/18/17 Current event #5

New car gadgets
I really enjoyed completing current event #5. It was all all about current trending technology. For me, I specifically looked at new car gadgets. I loved learning about new car technology that is for safety and for fun. I am curious to see how buyers respond to these new trends.

4/17 Favorite new apps

Reflection: Overall, I really enjoyed this project. I really like that we got the choice to figure out what app we would like to know more about. Not only did I learn a lot about the app Liketoknow.it, but I also got to know about a lot more other apps that could really help with organization and school.
