Scratch Info

It took some time to understand how to work Scratch. I played around with the different tabs until I understood how to navigate my way through it. To make the different motions of scratch you use different scripts. There are ten different script tags for example there are looks, motions, control, and events. Each one of these scripts represents an action you can make your sprite do. There is another tab that is labeled "costumes." When clicking this tab it opens up to a variety of images that you can pick in order for your sprite to change positions. In that tab you can also color on the image you chose or download your own. Another tab is labeled "sound." The sound tab has files of different clips of sound. The sound I chose for my scratch was called bubbles. There are other sounds you can choose for example: streetcars, yelling, or a pop. You can record and download your own sound if you would like. There are many background choices you can change in order to make your scratch more interesting. I chose a ginger bread house for my background. There are also different sprites you can chose. In my scratch I used a cat, crab, beetle, bat, and butterfly.

Blog Post #2

During the html lesson I learned many different tags. Today I learned how to align paragraphs and bold font. I also learned how to change the title sizes. These tags were essential to making the website unique. The webpage is more chic and professional looking with these tags.

Thanksgiving with Images

This is my webpage. It contains many different things. It has titles, paragraphs, bolded words, and even images! The task of this webpage was change four images and add them to an html lesson. The first picture I changed was an image of a man. I changed the height of the image from 340 to 110 and cropped the sides. The second image I changed was a elephant. I also changed the height of this image to make it longer and cropped the sides. The third image I changed was a funky cat. I changed the width of the image and cropped the length. The last image I had was a picture of a vampire. I left the standard height and width but changed the size by cropping the unnecessary background.

Intro to HTML

I used the W3schools website that helped my create a webpage. I used the tutorial to help me understand how to create a webpage and guide me through using tags. After I completed the tutorial I started personalizing my webpage. Once finishing the tags I saved it and re-opened it to see my webpage.

HTML Quiz

The HTML quiz was very challenging for me. I got a 10/25 on the quiz which may look bad but is pretty good for not learning most of the material. The ones I got wrong the most were the tags. I did not know how to insert links to tags. As we continue on with this unit I would like to learn more tags and expand my knowledge on computer science.

Secret Message part two

I viewed other students blog posts and decoded their secret messages. At first it was hard figuring out which symbols the other students used but eventually I got the hang of it. I decoded three students secret messages. The first student I decoded was Ashley's message. Her message said "erasers life." The second student I decoded was Meghan's, and he hidden message was "Meghan loves summer." The last student I decoded was Mia's hidden message. Her message said "corn on the cob." This was a good interactive activity. It taught students how to code and decode binary numbers, but at the same time it was fun and engaging.
