April 10th - Genius Hour Blog #3

This is the code I wrote yesterday with some help from the website I was using.
        The past Monday was probably the first full day I've had to learn and prepare my Genius Hour project. The past few Mondays have been just me preparing documents for my project, such as the Inspiration web and the Prezi Proposal. Obviously, I had a great time on Monday, as I just took the last block of the day to learn some more basics about C++. I tested arrays and finally learned how to print out two-dimensional arrays after a lot of mistakes and trial and error. I also did some learning on strings, structures, and pointers which will help as lot with my projects. I was really happy at the end because I barely got my array to print out the array, and now I want to learn how to do output with other characters like letters. I would say overall the day was a success, but there were a few incidents, including the times I replaced semi-colons with commas, and forgetting how the logic worked. I hope to continue the work I did on Monday and get a functioning game of tic-tac-toe going. That would be a cool mini-project because it uses something I learned. I think that arrays are important because they let you do some much with your code. You can also store lots of data in them, so for data management its cool. I also did some reading about taking input/giving output to external text files but didn't get to try it. That would be interesting to try.

Proposal

April 4th - Genius Hour Blog #1

One of the websites I hope to learn from.          Over the last few weeks, we have been preparing our Genius Hour projects, where we will be using Mondays to learn something we want to do and present the project near the end of the semester at the "Celebration of Learning". I did an Inspiration chart which showed what I want to learn, how I would learn it, and how I would present it at the Celebration of Learning. At the end, I decided I wanted to learn C++ , and learn it through the internet (with websites like https://www.cprogramming.com) and some friends while presenting 4 practical projects at the Celebration of Learning. The whole Genius Hour concept makes me feel really good about life because it gives me something to look forward to in school. It takes the whole structured thing out of school and allows me to do something I want to do, and encourages me to do better. The main challenge I was facing was what I actually wanted to do. It really t...

Movie Maker Projects and Stopmotion Projects - April 27th 2018

Image
In the past few weeks, I've been working on some videos. I made 2 videos in Windows Movie Maker, one of which was all pictures about Pot-Bellied Pigs, and the latter which was a project I did with 2 partners, Kyle Wong and Taylor Rai. They were the actors and I was the director in our How to Hockey video. They were both a lot of fun to make and the latter is hilarious. I also did 2 Stopmotion Videos, both of which were very short and done with Taylor Rai. The first one is Pac-man being drawn, and the second one is Taylor sliding on the ground. The first one was made in Funmotion, and the latter was made with iMotion. I hope you enjoy!
