this chart is a very good representation for various reasons. It is good, because it shows all the subjects in my typing tracker in an accurate way, and I can see if my results are better.
This chart is also a good presentation. It shows my Accuracy over the time, there is all the scores recorded to show if I improve or not.


Finally, this is a good representation of how I type. It shows both the net speed, and the gross speed, this way I can compare if I type most of my words right, and if I improve.

Vacations



These vacations were very nice. I had really good time in these vacations. Most of the time I was with my family. I went to Guadalajara and had a cousin baptism. It was very fun, first there was a mass, and then there was a party. We had a great time, there was very good food, and we were all together having fun. The baptism party was fun. This time in my vacations were awesome.


I also had another fun day in Guadalajara. We had a christmas exchange. All my family was in my cousins house, and we had a great time. We had to describe the person we were giving the gift to with a drawing. I had a very pleasent time, and I received an xbox game. After this we had dinner and we watched some fireworks that my cousin and uncle where lighting up in the backyard, they were very bright and all the neighberhood stood to watch. The christmas exchange was fantastic. I had a very good time in Guadalajara. I am looking forward for the next break.

Reflective Statement

My stopmotion idea was very interesting. First, I didn't have any idea of what I was going to do. Then, the teacher helped me decide what to do, she suggested me that I could do something with some sticks that she had. In my storyboard I only put six steps, based on what I was going to do, and my animation came out to be like I wanted it to be, despite my project was destroyed. The hardest challenges for me is making the structure be able to stand, and making the helicopter fly out of the animation. What I did to keep the structure from falling was to make it equally balanced from both sides by making it symmetrical, and I attached the helicopter to a stick and moved it upwards to make it look like it is flying. Making this project was not very easy because it tok a lot of time, and it got destroyed; still, I enjoyed doing it. If there was something I would change was taking the pictures from the same spot so it would look better, and I would take more time in doing it, since I had to hurry. If I had the option to work on this as an adult I would think about it, first I would see if I like another thing, and if not, I would try to look at this job. It seems fun, and original. It takes a lot of time to do it, and many epople are being succesful with this, and are gaining a lot of money with this. All in all, stopmotion is a very interesting, original, and fun process.

Technology

I think that this school in the video uses to much technology. They have their devices almost all of the time when being in school. This is too much exageration, most of the people in this school use technology. They all have their iphones, blckberrys, laptops, and more. Not only that but, when they are home they are also using their devices or consoles. For this reason, there are many people who have bad grades. Some people get very distracted and don't do their homework. As you can see, they use too much technology when they have the opportunity.


ASPV should teach students more about technology. Although students use a lot of technology in our school, they need to learn a little bit about it. Us, students don't do beneficial things in the internet, we are actually not using internet the correct way. People use the social network more than anything. This is why teachers should inform us about internet. There are many uses for it, and it would be interesting for us to find out. We could edit pictures, videos, and more. Teachers have the equipment to do this, and they should. All in all, ASPV neeeds people to learn the uses of this great system.

Technology is very important in our lives. But, people do misuse internet. There are people who use it excessively, threre are others that use it frequently and others that have used it once or twice in their life, without counting in school programs. There are even people who don't know internet exists! This is wrong, people need to use internet, though not in a bad way. Internet can be used to watch videos, communicate, buy things, travel, meet people and many millions of other things. This is why epole need to use it. Sometimes it will be necessary in their lives. Inconclusion, Internet is not bad for us, sometimes it is necessaty for us.

Medium Selection

It was very hard for me to be able to choose my medium. First, I was going to do one drawing, but I thought about another idea. Miss Firsty helped me choose a medium. She suggested me to use some sticks, and I came up with the idea of making a building with the sticks. I think that I will raise a stick each photo and then continue to make the building. In the end I will make a helicopter land on the roof of the building. The hardest thing of this medium is making the structure of the building. As you can see, my method is very interesting, but can be very challenging.
