Tech Elective Project Reflection

Please answer the questions below. Do not delete the prompts!

1. Describe your project
   My project is a photoshopped image of a hybrid of a guinea pig and a giraffe.
   
   

2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?
   
   I had almost no knowledge on how to use photo editing software, although I could use microsoft paint.
   
   

3. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?
   
   I wanted to learn how to edit pictures.
   
   

4. Did you accomplish the goal of learning this new skill?
   
   I did accomplish the goal of learning how to edit pictures.
   
   

5. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish your goal, why do you think that is?
   
   I know I accomplished the goal because I successfully created an edited picture.
   
   

6. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way?
   
   I did not learn any other skills while working on the project.
   
   

7. What are you most proud of in this project?
   
   I am most proud of the seamless transition between giraffe and guinea pig.
   
   

8. What would you do differently if you had to do the project over again?

1. Describe your project
   My project is an animation based on the dancing of a young man that can really move. The boy that i chose from the scratch sprites selection was one of many that had lots of costumes. The project is what happens when a boy dances on a court and takes it over.
   
   

2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started?
   I had the knowledge that i wanted to create an animation using scratch. So i looked up some coding animations before hand which gave me the knowledge to create an animation using coding no matter which language, which i had also studied. I had the knowledge of different coding languages such as python which is the hardest coding language to learn.
   
   

3. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project?
   The new skill i wanted to learn was being able to create an animation. I had no idea on how to make animations before i did my research but after this project i now can create animations. My new skill will enable me to create new and better animations and even go for the harder stuff now.
   
   
   

4. Did you accomplish the goal of learning this new skill?
   I accomplished the goal of learning this new skill because i used a animation card before, but now i can just create the animation i would like without the use of the cards. Although the cards are pretty helpful, but i still can create my own animation by myself. I can also change my backdrop and edit my sprites whenever i need to.
   
   

5. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish your goal, why do you think that is?
   I know i accomplished my goal because i worked really hard to complete my project. I also have analyzed my new skill well enough that now i can read the coding inside of the animations. I know this skills has been accomplished because i am able to help myself understand the coding.
   
   
   

6. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way?
   The other skills i learned along the way was that i learned to find research really easily by going on certain websites and taking in the best information. This new skill will be efficient for my next project in this class because a good researcher can accomplish anything.
   
   
   

7. What are you most proud of in this project?
   I am most proud of how determined i was because even though i had to start over i still finished my entire project in the time we had left. My project itself made me proud because it is my expression of what i like to do.
   
   
   

8. What would you do differently if you had to do the project over again?

I would not do anything differently, although i might have made sure all my animations were finished before i logged out of scratch.

1. Describe your project? My project was a designing website that had to do with designing your own house. So for my house I just created a one bedroom apartment that included:

• Bedroom

• Bathroom

• Living Room

• Dining Room/ Kitchen

• Laundry Room

2. What knowledge did you already have about the project before you started? I didn't really know anything about it but, that it was used to create or design your own house

3. What new skill did you want to learn coming into the project I wanted to learn how to use it. What controls everything. I wanted to learn how to manage the measurements the the house was and the room that were in it.

4. Did you accomplish the goal of learning this new skill? Yes I accomplished this by going through the project and learning more and more about it as I went on.

5. How do you know you accomplished the goal? If you didn’t accomplish your goal, why do you think that is? I know that i accomplished this by my final project and the knowledge that I gained throughout the process of my project.

6. What other skill(s) did you learn along the way? I really just learned all the controls or most of the controls for the website.

7. What are you most proud of in this project? The final piece. I like how it turned out.

8. What would you do differently if you had to do the project over again? If I was to do the project again I wouldn't do anything different but trying something more challenging like trying to add another floor or a basement.
