Mercury Poisoning PSA

Posted by Brandon James in Environmental Science · Aziz · E on Friday, January 19, 2018 at 11:58 pm
1. For this project, my group decided to create a PSA to show awareness of mercury poisoning. I was personally interested because I sometimes eat a lot of fish, and when I found out that fish contains mercury, I was shocked and a bit nervous. So I wanted to learn more.
2. I believe I played a significant role in terms of contributing to the project by editing the video as well as coming up with a script.
3. One thing I believe we did well was gathering the research for the project, but one thing I would like to change would be the video itself. 
4. The most meaningful part of this project was that I learned more about the harms of mercury poisoning and that anyone who eats fish are at risk of having it regardless even those odds are small.

Media and Design through the year

Posted by Brandon James in Intro to Design and Multmiedia on Friday, May 26, 2017 at 11:27 am

Q1: For the very first project of this class we created our own websites.

 

Q2: My quarter 2 project was CodeHs which is a programming website. It has 15 lessons that you do and within the lessons you learn how to code and make Karel do different things.

 

Q3: For my Q3 project I choose to do a gameplay because i figured that it would an easy project to do.   My overall vision of this project was to share something i enjoy doing in my freetime with everyone else. Overall my project was a success, a failure i had was uploading it to youtube from my game system.

 

Revised benchmark: For my revised benchmark i decided to edit my Q2 benchmark because 1, I really enjoyed doing it and 2, I wasn’t able to complete all the lessons and move onto the challenges.

 

Course Growth: Throughout this course i had a lot of ups and downs especially when i first started the class. An area that i grew in was submitting the checkpoints on time and getting work done in class. During my time in this class i personally feel as though that i really didn’t learn nothing new but a way I could use some of the skills demonstrated inside of class, outside of class is by doing a website for a personal assignment. Three tips I would give someone taking this class next year would be: submit work on time, stay focused during the class period and be on time because that will eventually affect your grade.

Q3 Benchmark

Posted by Brandon James in Intro to Design and Multmiedia on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at 11:11 pm

My project was Video Editing where you basically record something of your choosing and edit it. So i choose to do a game play for the game Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection. A success i had while doing this project was recording it because it was very simple to do. A failure i had was actually trying to play it due to the fact I only play my game on the weekends. Also another failure was uploading it to youtube because for some reason it would never work right. I overcame both failures, 1. by bringing my game system to school I could record here as well as at home. 2. Doing a live broadcast of my game play and recording the audio on my phone. Something I learned about myself while completing this was project was that I am somewhat good at doing commentary and that I might be able to do this for real.

Computer Science

Posted by Brandon James in Intro to Design and Multmiedia on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at 10:21 pm
For my Q2 benchmark ​I chose to do the computer science project. Honestly I didn't know what i had hoped to learn I just thought it would be fun to do. Over the course of this project I was required to go through many different challenges using different skill types. The challenge problems were very hard to do and some i couldn't even get the code right. It was hard to find a way to code using the right techniques that will work in multiple situation. The tutorial videos were very easy to understand and they taught you how to complete the lessons. I learned how to solve problems using coding. Usually for the activities I would use one specific code for a problem, but I had to learn how to use one code to solve multiple problems. This project taught me how I can find/use one solution for multiple problems. If I were to do this project again I wouldn’t change anything. If anyone else were to try doing this I would tell them to have fun and make sure they aren’t distracted so they can think about the problems.

Viajar Proyecto

Posted by Brandon James in SPANISH 2 - Moran - D on Friday, April 22, 2016 at 12:31 pm
For this project, we had to pick a Spanish speaking country and capital, and pretend to be traveling agents. In a group, we had to plan out three packages for a couple to travel somewhere. Things included real life prices and activities, restaurants, hotels, flights, etc. After this, we had to make three different ways of sharing content (brochure, power point, and commercial.) I think it was an interesting project. However, the time goes by quickly and it is a time consuming project. Something I would do if I were to do this project again is manage my time.

Las Noticias Benchmark

Posted by Brandon James in SPANISH 2 - Moran - D on Monday, February 1, 2016 at 1:12 pm
​For this project we had to create a script and video in Spanish of a fake news broadcast which included several things we have learned so far in class. We each had our own roles for the broadcast: I was one of the two anchorman. Zack was the Meteorologist (and video editor), Josh was the breaking news anchor, Hadja was the fashion consultant, and Darian was the health consultant. I really liked how our video turned out, especially the introduction. Also this project was  fun to do.

My partner Tronta and I showed the difference between ser and estar and how they are used. We included a video to give the viewers a audio example.

Brandon: How was your childhood growing up in the South?

Grandma James: Well i had pretty decent childhood, my father was in the military so we did a little traveling with my father overseas and visited different military bases in the United State. I didn’t really experience the racial part because the bases were integrated.  


B: What was the most exciting thing you’ve done?

G.J: The most exciting that i have done i should say is becoming a mother. It’s new, exciting seeing this little baby grow inside me and to she her born and then to see her grow into the woman she is today.


B: So did you like being a mother?

G.J: I enjoy being a mother i’m still a mother. Eh it get on my nerves you know a little frustrating sometimes but i enjoy being a mother. Now i am blessed to be a grandmother.

I choose gaming graphics because i love video games. For a while i have interested in learning about the evolution of the graphics that help make the game.

Is it really worth it.

I choose this picture because it shows that the consequences of your actions can be very severe. This is also the cause of most suicide cases involving teenagers. As community we must band together to destroy this all together.
