cycle17

This cycle I mainly focused on my independent project. I used Alice and made a mummy scene. Some failures i had throughout the cycle was making the characters move their legs in a walking motion. Another one was making the characters turn in a more realistic way. But other than that I think I did a pretty good job on my project. I included dialog between the characters and other special affects like fire. I am almost complete with my project all I have to do is add a little bit more detail then I will be done,

Final Project

My final project is in Alice I have created a mummy scene . The queen brings her king back from the dead with the help of their daughter. Two of the kings workers betrayed him and killed him in his sleep. After the king is resurrected he gets his revenge on the two workers who has killed him. The kings daughter witnessed the murder and that's how the queen found out. After the king was brought back he set both of his workers on fire and sent them to the underworld.

Senior Center

I helped a man with his cell phone. I showed him how to make out going calls. I also showed him how to check his messages. He did not have a high tech phone so it was simple to show him how to work the phone. He wrote the instructions down so he would remember.

cycle13

This cycle we worked on DW. We finished the whole book. We also did virtual programming with Mr.Sid. But we will spend most of next cycle working on our final project. The project I am doing is in Alice the version is 2.2. Alice is a virtual 3D program. Alice makes it easy to create a story to share on the web. Alice was created for students to get used to 3D programming. Alice was created at the University of VA. In order to use Alice you have to be creative. This program has many different characters and other objects in the folders that you can use. There is no way that you can create a boring story in this program. This program is similar to some that make cartoons and other animated things. In my project I’m going to be creating a mummy scene where the king is being resurrected. And the queen is bringing him back to life. This program isn’t that easy to work with but it can be fun. You can learn a lot from this program. Alice can help you with the basic skills needed for other 3D programing software. Things I will learn in this project are skills needed for future programs.  Alice can lead you to other advanced programs similar to it. You can make a lot of money if you know how to use the advanced programs. For example you can make TV shows and commercials. TV stations will pay you a lot of money if your creations meet qualifications. You can also get paid from big businesses for making them good commercials for them. I am going to have about a week to do this project and I’ve started a little rough draft of it and if this is approved I will work off of my rough draft and give it some enhancements. Once I am done with my Dream Weaver I will have a lot more time to work on my independent project.   

cycle11

This cycle we learned about Dream Weaver. It is a website building program. It is very easy to work with at first it was a bit confusing then you get used to it. We did many projects in the program. It is very interesting and when you finish the website comes together very well. We also did computer configuration with Mr.Sid. That was an interesting task it was very difficult in the beginning but as we went along it got easier. The virtual configuration is much easier than the hands on one.    

cycle9 networking

We learned a lot about network and networking. We learned the different topology's.The different ones we learned about are star, ring, bus, mesh and tree. We also learned about client servers and peer to peer servers. It can be confusing but it helps when we work together as a group when learning about this. There are many things you have to know inorder to understand networking. There are many vocab words to learn. We learned about LAN and WAN networks. They are two different types of networks LAN is smaller than WAN.

cycle9 VB

We started to learn about a program called Visual Basic. To me it is a little confusing but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. So far we have done about 3 projects. I like it better when we work together and go step by step because it helps me understand the program a lot better. There are many codes to this program, it kinda reminds me about Java Script. To me these two programs are similar. I would like to learn how to use this program a lot better.
