How To Use Weebly
Before this project I didn't really know how to use Weebly. I felt like their were too many tools and things were too jumbled for me to find out what to use. I also felt like it was too much having to pick a setup theme especially if I didn't want to use the ones they had. I learned how to create a website where I can advocate my business effectively. I've learned how to create themes as well as leaning what tools to use and when to use them so that my website can be as effective as possible. I know now that with my knowlege I can make more websites for different things not only business. This is a very effective skill to have especially in this digital age. I leared a lot and will transfer it to the future.

'I like food, Food is good." Is my six word memoir
I picked this because I like food and in my room I have a big table with a lot of food in it. I thought this represents me because I like to eat a lot of foods and I go to resturants very often.
Basics of a game in game maker
Before I started this project I barely knew anything about coding. At first I had actually tried another software but I had no luck and then tried game maker. Things such as coding seemed to be hard but it was actually really easy and fast. Things I learned were that of how to make sprites and set instructions for them to act on. I found that every single action needed a command to work and this helped me have a small peak at those people that devote their lives to making video games. Even sound needed to be created as there was none if you did not add it. A small mistake would cause the game to stop working and would require you to check where you made the mistake. These mistakes are the ones that make glitches in the large games that we see around. I also learned how to convert files from one format to another in order to make the game work. At the end I found that to be able to publish the game on different software you had to pay but there was one format that worked which was for windows.

"I can never get it right"
I chose this because I can relate to it the most in some ways. When I learn a new lesson in Algebra class and I try to solve the problem I never get it right I end up getting the wrong a

Better to be independent than dependent
Better to be independent, than dependent.
Being independent gives you more freedom and control over yourself and your future conditions, instead of being dependent, when you depend on someone you become too hopeful, for example you work with a group of friends and you’re the one pulling the weight while everyone else slacking off, that feeling can be frustrating that’s why being independent is better, instead of hopping someone else will do it, you are taking control over the actions and outcomes.
The hole in the wall shows the frustration of the person, the messy bed shows how indifferent the guy is about everything that surrounds him, the pillow on the floor shows how comfortable he is, and the table & paper shows the work that he has done and how simple he wants to live life.
How to use Tinkercad
My tutorial is on how to use Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a 3d printer which allows you to be creative and print out things in 3D. Tinkercad can be hard to use at first but after you get a hang up it it becomes easier to use. When I first use Tinkercad it was hard trying to figure out how each feature worked. It was also hard figuring out how to work the work plane which is where you put your creations and decide how you want it. I messed up multiple times before I got it the way I wanted it. The reason I did this tutorial is because I always wanted to print stuff out in #D but never knew how. I watched other tutorials and they were always complex so I made one bout the basic steps of how to use Tinkercad. I would recommend Tinkercad because it allows to to print out your creations in 3D. Hope you enjoy my tutorial.
Reflection
Prior to this project I knew barely anything about using power tools in the maker space. I didn't know what tools were which or how to use them at all. Also I didn't know what you could create just with a few pieces of wood. I learned how to first make accurate measurements, then take that and apply it to an actual task. I learned how to use power tools safely and efficiently. This will help me in the future if I want to possibly go into the field of carpentry, or work with the union or something. Now I know how to build things if I had to do house work or even just build for money. Power tools were something I was not fimiliar with but now I have an understandng of the process. Now I am not shy to these types of tools. I know now that with my knowlege I can be the one to create things and not have to buy them. I leared a lot and will transfer it to the future.
How To Make a Smore Flyer
For my 4th quarter tech project, I chose to make a how to video on how to make a smore. It took me quite a while to make it. The first thing that I did was get familiar with the website. After I was familiar with it, I then made a script for what I was going to say. This helped me figure out what I was going to say while recording the video. The video took me quite a while to make since I kept messing up on what I wanted to say. After I recorded the video, I thenk inserted that file into WeVideo and made my intro and ending credits. The credits included my photo I used and the website I used as well. This project was not hard overall, but it did take time to complete.

Quarter 4 Tech Video Explanation of Blogger
When creating my video I learned a couple things for me to reflect on. One of the things that I learned was that in order to create a video is that it takes more patience than you would think. As when I first started recording I had to stop the video after thirty seconds as I was not happy with the way the recording was going. Besides that the recording went fairly well. I was able to get through everything I wanted to in the time period. My real problem was getting the embed code. As my video was having trouble with my video syncing with my laptop. I had to give access to TechSmith Snagit in order for the video to fully sync. Then I needed to send the video to youtube in order for me to embed it. Besides that hassle everything else went smoothly. Well that was my experience with creating a video.
Instructional Video on How to use Wix.com
For my instructional video, I used wix.com. This website is a free website builder and creative templates for any topic.The process and the learning achieved through the creation of the video is to give instructions to viewers that would like to use a free website builder. When I first used this website it was actually not challenging. It was straight forward, but the only thing then teaching someone how to do anything, the most important thing is to make sure your speech is clear and have a clear explanation of what you are trying to explain. Especially, when you have to present in 3-5 minutes all information has to be added as well as understandable. As I was explaining instructions, I had to make sure that not only did I explain it verbally, but I had to show it physically.

My picture was based on my living room during my days before I became a teenager.
It's Electric (Art Project)!
We decided on an Xbox controller as the base of our sculpture because the controller is symbolizing our love for video games. Both of us have been playing video games for as long as we can remember and in a way it has somewhat shaped us into the people we are today. We also thought that putting lights on a controller would make is more aesthetically pleasing on the black background of the controller.

My Spiral Of Theodorus
Creating my colorful Spiral of Theodorus was very easy. You first start out with a right triangle with the dot and with the base and the height being 1 inch. Then, using the Pythagorean theorem, which is a2 + b2 = c2 , to find the hypotenuse. Then you continue, as each triangle will become larger.

Instructional Video On How To Build A Blog
The Process and the learning that achieved through the creation of the video was that even when informing people on how to make something you have to make sure the video is appealing and can catch the viewers eye. Another thing you have to work about is speech everybody does not understand what everybody says when they speak that is why it is important to have sub tittles. People do not want a long boring video of somebody talking for 3 to 5 minutes if the video is going to be that long at least at things so the video will seem like its moving quick and they do not skip your video and go to another one. I think my topic, ¨Eight easy steps to building a blog¨"worked out very well being as though I did not give a lot of facts. I figured let me just point out the key features to building a blog.
My ideas are simple and easy for everyone to understand. The video is not complex and it gets straight to the point. The start of my video is just to pull the readers attention in before the boring information starts to come along. So all in all if you follow my steps I think that you would be happy with the blog you come out with. All you have to do is click or copy and paste my youtube link into you search engine and like or comment on the video to let me know if it was helpful. Thanks for watching my eight easy tips to building a blog I hope that answered many of your questions.

"I run so I feel good." is my 6 word memoir. I have come to the conclusion that if I go a day or two without running I feel horrible. I like it and when ever I do run I feel really good when i'm done. So I run to feel good physically and I run because i'm doing something i'm not that bad at doing. My room reflects my memoir because I have a poster in it that says "Not Running Sucks" which is very true.
Math Behind My Spiral Of Theodorus
Creating the spiral of theodorus was really simple all you have to do is make a dot in the center of a page and measure one length. The you would use a protractor then line it up the the end of the first line then at 90 degrees mark a dot then draw a line to connect it. You would repeat those steps over and over. The math was easy all you have to do is use the Pythagorean theorem which is a^2 + b^2 = C^2.
A Princess Gets What She Wants
My picture was based of me being a "princess". I was always told that I am spoiled and I always get what I want. my picture relates to the decor that I have such as the closet with the colorful clothes or the girly colored bed and rug. I had little furniture meaning I wanted to have detail in the things I had such as the flooring in my room. The six word memoir " a princess gets what she wants" is based off of my room.
Don’t be Cinderella for Careless Boys
After creating something pleasant, then destroying it, you will soon realize the feeling of picking up the pieces. Remembering back to when a very special young lady was holding on to a young man that brought her not but joy, or so she thought. Too blind to see through the mess he was conducting. Just a young girl trying to figure herself out while being taken advantage of. Until she finally came to the conclusion that the mess was nothing but bottomless pit of pain. Letting the tears fall gracefully on the floor while cleaning up the mess he left behind. She vowed to never live in clutter, to always be organized, to never be Cinderella again for a boy who wasn’t worth the mess to clean.
My memoir relates to my room due to the cleanliness of it. As you can see, my room is plain, simple and organized. After someone creating a mess and leaving you behind to clean it up, you will never let a mess play out. Instead of seeing how the story unfolds, you'll clean up before the party is over. The mop is in the closet because I use it often. There is no clutter because of how much I despise mess. Nothing is in my room for me to clean, that's the way I prefer it.
