4/27/17 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

I have never created a website before. I have used websites created by people, my Spanish teacher and modern world teacher have used weebly to create their own websites and they are very easy to use. They have their own website linked to their page on the Blue Valley Website. I haven't ever had the need to create a website before but I'm excited to learn because it seems like a really useful thing to know how to do. I chose to use weebly because I thought that all the layouts that they first showed were really nice and creative. I've seen teachers use it before and I think it will be really easy to figure out. They offer many different styles of websites and also great examples to showcase the creativity that the website offers. I am doing my project for the Blue Valley Girls Soccer program.

Blog Post: 4/18 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?


Reflection:

I enjoyed this project because I liked how we were allowed to choose our own topic. I think it allowed students to be creative with their choices and learn new stuff. I also liked how only one person in each class could only do each app because then the presentations weren't repetitive and the information was always new. I also liked that most of the apps were relevant to students and their everyday life. Overall, I liked the project a lot and would recommend it to others because it had little restrictions and allowed everyone to do their own thing.

4/13 Online Forms/Surveys

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 before. I have used Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, but I've never really heard about Google Forms. I don't know what it means and I don't know what it is suppose to do. I think I have used a survey before but it has been a while. I don't know how to use them but I could see how it could have multiple uses. With this project I hope to learn how to utilize Google Forms and be able to use it for future school projects.

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 use apps on my phone whenever I use my phone and they always make things easier. I can not imagine life without apps because they are so easy to use. Their are apps for everything you need, and they are super easy to get. I think that without apps phones would be a lot simpler. Phones wouldn't be as customized for individual use and I don't think everyone would be able to customize their phone the way they like, like they can now. Without apps I think that we wouldn't be able to do all the things that we can do now on our phones. 

4/3/17 My 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.

This weekend I spent time with my friends. We went to someone's house and we talked and watched Netflix. We watched a horror movie about zombies, I didn't really like the movie it was kind of boring and it wasn't very scary. Sunday I ran a bunch of errands for my parents. I also had to drive my sister and her friend around, and when I dropped her off at her house I got to play with her dogs. Sunday night I did all of my homework and watched Vampire Diaries.
