April 24th - Genius Hour Blog #5

      The past week was a really fun week in info tech. I did a movie with Taylor and Kyle and it was a lot of fun and was hilarious. There were a lot of laughs as we did our filming and the movie is great. I hope to release it soon. On Monday, we did our 5th Genius Hour, and I decided to spend the time working on my if statements and arrays. I have some trouble with arrays and after messing around with data types, I got my code to work. However, as I was adding something to my project that involved calling certain spots in an array and inputting information into an array, there was a problem. My online compiler went offline, and my local compiler wasn't installed yet so I couldn't write anything or test my new section. I ended up spending the last ~15 minutes waiting and hoping the compiler would come back online, but it never did and I left with an incomplete goal. I could have tried another compiler, but the online compilers are weird and often out of date so projects that work on one compiler don't work on other compilers. Hopefully I won't have this issue when my compiler gets installed but there really is nothing I can do unless that happens. Its frustrating, but that is why we install compilers. At the very least, I learned how to do if statements in different ways (if else, while) and also learned how to set up and call an array.

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!
