Debug-It Reflection

The debugging activity was very fun for me and I enjoyed being challenged to fix the problem that each question had. If you don't already have a Scratch account, I highly recommend making one because you're missing out. I liked how in this activity, you could collaborate with your partner to fix the problem If you couldn't get it on your own. I recommend giving this project a try.

Debug-It 1.5 Remix

I put the "say meow, meow, meow" code in the repeat 3 times box just before the "play sound meow" code. This made the Scratch work the correct way and the meow sound and word was aligned correctly.http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22978174/

DeBug-It 1.4 Remix


I added the "set rotation style Left-right" code after the "if on edge, bounce" block so that the sprite will turn around once it hits the edge of the screen.http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22977748/

De-Bug it 1.3 Remix

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22925203/
You have to add "wait"'s between each "turn 90 degrees". This allows each time it turns 90 degrees, for it to wait a little and allow you to see it turning.

De-Bug It 1.2 Remix

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22924863/To fix this problem, you have to add "go to x=-120 y=0" code to just above "say I like the left side. for 2 secs."

De-Bug it 1.1 Remix

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22924274/
In my de-bug it 1.1 remix, I simply just added the "when flag clicked" code to the top of Gobo's coding so that when it was clicked, both he and the Scratch Cat would dance.

10 Block Challenge

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22868186/This is the link to my 10 Block Challenge. I enjoyed this challenge because it was entertaining and it was a good way for you to learn about Scratch. For my challenge, I have a football player at the train tracks with no one to play with, he then flies away.

Scratch Tutorial

After our first day using scratch, I was surprised at how simple it seemed to be. Also it felt familiar to when we did the hour of code activity. It felt fine to be led through the steps of the tutorial however it seemed boring after a while. As a learner, I like having more structure when I am doing something that I am not familiar with. I like having freedom when I am comfortable with whatever I am doing. I feel most creative when doing something on my own.

Reading Track

The Massachusetts town of Reading is an athletic renown town and one of its greatest sports is track.
Reading track has won too many outdoor track middlesex league championships over the past years, so many that I think everyone has lost track at about 40.

The Runners

One of the most enjoyable parts of reading track is the runners and being able to excersise with your friends and teammates. Some of the best runners in the town are Chris Higgins, Jacky Boy C, and Justin Tu. This is at the junior varstiy level of course but they will soon be running the varsity races.

Jumping Events

This year, being my first year running track, I decided to try something new. I tried doing pole vault which I enjoyed. My max height was at around 9 feet and I plan on doing it next year also.

Races

The races that I ran in meets were the 100 meter and the 200 meter. While there were many other races like the 400,800,1 mile and 2 mile. There are also hurdle events, the 110 meter hurdles and the 400 meter hurdles.

This is a class where you learn different ways to use computers in and out of school for edducational use.

Some of the things that we've learned in this class are, google search skills, excell basic training, and also to use virtual graphs when we made pictures of patterns by typing in graph coordinates.


Computer Buying Project

For this project we were assigned to research a mac computer vs. a regular computer to see which you would choose and why.

Why I chose a Mac:

  • Easy to use
  • Fast
  • Works with other apple devices well

Things I like about Computer Apps:
  1. Helpful in other classes where we use computers
  2. I enjoy learning this A block rather than a harder class
  3. I am good at the class

Things to know about the class:
Rules-
Stay on task and no phones for social purposes
Assignments-
Everything is a lot easier when it's done in advance
Have fun
This class is only a semester long so enjoy it while it lasts.

X ray goggles








I really had fun doing the X-Ray goggles in this activity. In the pictures that I had remixed, you can see the changes that I subtlety or more obviously had made to the words in it.
