20 Qs

In class today my partner, Meghan, and I answered 20Q. It was a fun interactive activity using the computer. We picked a category and answered questions about the topic trying to make the computer guess what we were thinking. The first category we chose was movies and the computer guessed almost all of the correct! Next category we chose was characters/names. The computer had a very hard time with this and did not guess any of them correctly. I thought the computer game was fun and had the computer thinking as well as the students.

Observating Blogs

During my free time I viewed other students artwork. I really enjoyed doing this because every blog post was a little different. Some of the blogs I viewed had burst of color while others were monotone. All the blogs were similar because each one was very symmetrical.

This is an Image of a bat that I created with the bead app. This was a creative thinking project.

Rug Weave

I created a rug weave design on the computer. This design will be my third one I have created. After each new design I learn a little more about programming and efficiency. While creating the rug I looked for patterns and shortcuts. I figured out a way to cut off half the time it would take me to make the rug. I used triangles and rectangle to plot more points making it easier and faster for me. By using the triangles and rectangles I didn't have to plot each point. This was a fun and creative activity assigned by my teacher to have us look for shortcuts in designs.

Dog Weave Work

During this dog weave work activity I stumbled upon many challenges. As you can see there were many points needed to make this bead work. I used a helping tool to make it go by faster and easier. In the side bar there is an option to use 'rectangles,' by clicking on this you type in two different coordinates and it plots the area for you instead of having to plot each point. This saved me a lot of time when making my bead work. This activity showed me that there are always shortcuts to things and will help me in the future when I make more bead work.
