Presentations

In class I saw 4 presentations of students in my group. I noticed that some put animations. Therefore, that would be something I would change in my presentation, I'd put animations. Also, I saw some presentations were longer, for this reason, I'd make my presentation longer. Last but not least, I'd add more information to each slide to talk more about the subject. I learned many things about doing presentations here in computer class. Studying before talking about a presentation will help a lot. The presentations my classmates made were very interesting.

PowerPoint

A year ago, our class used to do booktalks. Everyone had to make a PowerPoint presentation or dress up and talk about a book. When finally one of our students came up she started her presentation. She first talked about the characters (one slide for each) with more than 10 bullet points for each. In total she already had more than 5 presentations, one for each character and one for the title. after that she explained the summary with pictures and she made it almost for all the book. her presentation was longer than 20 minutes, everyone was bored and wanted her to end. Finally she finished her presentation with a conclusion. Long presentations were not entertaining when diong booktalks.

8th Grade Animation

The 8th grade rotoball project was impresive. I really liked how each of the students passed the ball. The clip I liked the most was Sebastian´s. This is because he made a backround of a war and he used the rotoball to make weapons which was awesome. I also liked how Adriana finished the animation throwing the ball to the screen and making an explosion. Still, everyone made a good job, and they were very creative. Finally, Rodrigo made a good job editing the video. He somehow connected the clips together so that they looked good. I hope the 8th graders make more projects, because they are nicely done. The project was very interesting and I enjoyed watching it.

There was once a priest who lived in a church. He loved to go exploring to places in the world. One time he had gone to a building in the middle of the city he lived in. There, he found a mysterious ring that had a strange kind of power. So he went on different quests to look for precious materials the ring would mark. In one of those quests he found a chest that had a lot gold in it.

Another day, he noticed the ring was making an unfaliar signal that marked that there was something close to him. He observed the ring and thought it was malfunctioning. So, he put the ring in the corner of the room. For more than 5 days he had ignored the ring and returned to his normal way of living. He had had a good time those days.

The next day, he saw the ring was turning into a reddish color. For this reason he grabbed it and studied. He noticed the ring was marking that there was something in his garden. He grabbed his magnifying glass and went on to look for the rare object. He discovered there was a strange creature in his bushes that was developing. He grabbed it and took care of him for the rest of his life. But suddenly one day...

To Be Continued

Sixth Sense Technology

When I was watching this video, I was amazed. I was thinking of how people would use it in the future, and that it would be very useful. I would love to have one of these, because I could take a trip to some place, and take pictures whenever I want. I could also play, and get entertained everywhere I go. Finally, I could copy informatino of a paragraph or articles and save them. Having one of these awesome inventions would be awesome.

There are a big amount of great things about technology. Technology helps every person in the world. It helps them in work by investigating with it. It helps people to communicate. It also entertains everyone, technology is all around the world. Last but not least, it helps people to inform about things that happen in the world. Technology is a wonderful tool for people.

Open source is something free that can be changed. I have used Facebook, Moodle, Blogger and more. A pro is that it is free. A con is that people can modify it. Another con is that the information people can put cannot be correct. Finally a pro is that anyone can see it. Open source is very useful

Christmas Break

I did many fun things during my winter vacations. First, I went to Guadalajara to visit my family. While I was there my family made a dinner, in which we made a gift exchange. When it was our turn to give the gift, we didn't describe the person we were giving it to, instead we told a funny story about them, or something they did that helped someone a lot. After giving the gifts we had dinner. My dad and my uncle prepared onion soup and a rissotto for all of us. The food was delicious, everyone liked. Being in Guadalajara was something I really enjoyed.

Another fun thing I did was going to the beach in Puerto Vallarta. I had some family visiting my family here in Puerto Vallarta. They were staying in Playas Gemelas, which are apartments that are on the way to Conchas Chinas. Since it was december, the waves were really big (from 3 to 5 meters tall). My cousin, my brother and I was diving into the ocean, and they were throwing me into the waves so they would knock me down. When we got tired we decided to go to the pool. After an hour I left with my family to my house. The beach was awesome that day.

The last interesting thing I did in vacations was celebrating on Holiday Inn. First, when we arrived, I was talking with my friend. Pretty soon the band started to play songs. After about 30 minutes the food was being given. They served pumking soup, duck and beef medallions, and lastly raspberry mousse with chocolate cake. After eating everybody went to dance on the dance floor. The hotel distributed hats, necklaces, ballonds and all kinds of objects to clebrate and decorate. My cousins and I went to take some photos, doing tricks with cellphones. After some time the fireworks started, and Holiday Inn was the hotel that lasted the most throwing fireworks. The party was something unforgetable.

New Security Measures

I know that the new security measures on facebook want to protect people. I understand that facebook wanted people to feel safe. They were created, first of all, because people asked this social network. Also, because facebook wanted poeple to have security, and to make people access to facebook and dont be afraid. I think that these measures will make me feel safer. Plus, I think that they were very smart to put them. This will be succesful. This is because more people will create an account. This will make me have more privacy. Finally, I will feel very safe. The new security measures will be a great success.
