Interactive means that the audience can interact with the program or even video that they are watching. For example, I have seen videos on YouTube that have links to another video to show the outcome or effect of your choice of path. This creates a whole story line that you chose.

Do Now#1: Introduction to Flash Animations
So far, I know that animations are applied to a certain icon or web page to help make it more visually stimulating, fun, or attracts the viewers’ attention.
My favorite animated movie is “Toy Story”. My entire family, including myself, love Toy Story because of how incredible the movie seems to be real. Sure, when you see the people in the movie, it is obviously animated, but the way the toys react and move, it’s amazing to our eyes at how perfect the animations look.
Power Point Questions 3/16/10

Questions 3/15/10
1. What is an audience?
-An audience is the group of people that you are presenting to.
2. Please list three different types of audiences there are.
-youth, adolescent, adult
3.
Pretend that you are giving a presentation to the following groups:
a)High school students
b)Parents
c)Business men and women
4.
What are some topics that you would discuss with them? How do you plan to hold their attention?
-a)peer pressure/sports. I would ask questions or talk about a personal experience.
-b)their children. I would talk about how their children benefit from their school.
-c)money/finance/interesting products. I would talk about products and money benefits that would interest them.
Questions 3/9/10
1. Do you like presenating information? (why or why not)
-Yes, I do like presenting information. I don’t find it too difficult to read and present something that would already be written down.
2. What do you think are the key elements in a good speech?
-The key elements to a good speech are to clearly and patiently present your information, keep eye contact with your audience, and don’t look down the whole time while reading your presentation.
3. What is difference between giving a speech about something you enjoy as opposed to something that you do not enjoy?
-Giving a speech about something you enjoy opposed to something you don’t enjoy would be how you present it. For instance, if you were presenting something you don’t enjoy, you might be more irritable or uncomfortable to present it. Whereas, if it were something you enjoy, you would be more open and delightful during your presentation.
4. Why do you believe powerpoint is a helpful tool to use for presenations?
-PowerPoint is a helpful tool for presentations because you can show bullets to pinpoint your main topics and pictures if you want to make the presentation more visually stimulating.
5. When do you think you will be using power point after high school?
-I might use PowerPoint during college if needed for a presentation. I might also use PowerPoint if I need a presentation for just about anything.
Shoprite budget
While creating this budget sheet, I found it was hard to make sure I kept reasonably within my budget range.
It is important to have a budget sheet when you go shopping so you know how much you can pay and if you are able to buy everything you need while keeping within your price range.
I now have somewhat of an idea of how expensive food can be while shopping. I found most of the prices to be reasonable in price because of how my mother taught me over the years.
I did enjoy this project somewhat. I didn’t hate it at least. I just found it easy to find items and prices to put into a table and total it. So for that I did enjoy the project.
Martin Luther King Jr.
“Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, and he has become a human rights icon: King is recognized as a martyr by two Christian churches. As Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King’s efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his “I have a Dream” speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history.
In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had re focused his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the Vietnam War, both from a religious perspective. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was greatly awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.” (Wikipedia.com)
To me, Martin Luther King Jr. is probably the most powerful and inspiring leader that this country has had for regards to the Black Community’s Rights. He took what Rosa Parks so nobly did on the bus that fateful day and launched the campaign for equal rights. Martin Luther King shook the world into reality that we are all human beings and skin color does not change that.
Why I chose these colleges.
While on College Board.com, I found and added these schools to my list:
Asnuntuck Community College
Communtiy College of Beaver County
Quinebaug Valley Communtiy College
Salem Community College
The College of New Jersey
Zane State College
College of Marin: Kentfield
I added each of these colleges to my list mostly because of the characteristics that these colleges share. To search for colleges, I used “find a match” and entered characteristics such as size, setting, academic years, public or private, etc. The exact characteristics I chose for colleges were as following:
- Two-year college – I wasn’t exactly sure what was better for me, but a two-year college sounded better for some reason. As if I would learn enough in two years anyway.
- Public - I feel it’s a more comfortable enviroment not to be in uniform while taking on the stress of work and getting to classes. Private schools also cost more money than public so I feel it would be better.
- Small (about 2,000 students) – I’ve learned over the years that the fewer students in a class, the better chance you have to be able to learn at a personal level and have a student-to-profesor relationship. This can help me learn better and ask for help if I don’t understand something.
- Suburban setting – I was never comfortable in a city-like enviroment and a rural/outdoors-like setting wouldn’t be great for me. I believe a suburban type of setting would be great for me, seeing as I’ve never exactly lived in one, but I’ve always enjoyed it when I would go to one.
The only college I was aware of before searching was The College of New Jersey. My sister went to TCNJ (The College of New Jersey) and while she was scoping it out, the whole family went, including me. I found it to be interesting and a pretty comfortable enviroment.
Two of my selected colleges turned out to be in New Jersey, which is where I currnetly reside; TCNJ and Salem CC. These schools would be wise choices when concerning money, because of the fact that if I go to a college in the state I live in, then I would pay instate tuition,which would be cheeper than outstate tuition.
The other colleges I found are in states that I have been intrigued to go to or at least be suitable for a college life. A few colleges such as Asnuntuck Community College and Quinebaug Valley Communtiy College are in Connecticut and I have been there as a child visiting some relatives and it was a nice area.
College of Marin: Kentfield, on the other hand, is in California. I realize it doesn’t sound very smart or reasonable but experiencing the California life-style would be very interesting.
Communtiy College of Beaver County is in Pennsylvania, and I’ve been going there since I was little because my parents have a house there and living conditions could be arranged in different ways to accomadate certain needs.
Zane State College is in Ohio and again, I’ve been interested to see what it would be like there.
Although, outstate tuition would cost much more than instate so these other, out of state colleges wouldn’t be my first certain choices. Not just because of cost, but of being closer to home.
Social Media Revolution 1/15/10
I agree that this video was very interesting and statistical about how wireless networks and electronic devices have progress over the many years to practically engulf our lives. On the other hand, I slightly disagree with the statement that “Social Media isn’t a fad, it’s a fundamental shift in the way we communicate.” Although I know this statement is true, I still believe that the Social Media IS a fad. So much of the world has claimed that they “cannot survive” without these programs and online websites of social, international interaction.
By stating my belief I can definitely say that I think the Social Media is indeed a fad, but made users believe that it’s a necessary fundamental of life. Who knows, soon we might not even half to think about anything anymore, or maybe not have to bother getting up to do the simplest of tasks. “Gotta love the Social Media”
