Weekly Update: This week in 3dd2b I was working on my complex problem AND my group project. I spent at least two class periods tweaking my lemon squeezer which printed didn’t work as well as I thought it would,  to what I thought would work. Sadly it still doesn’t work with the hinge, so I have to make it a grinder type mechanism. I was also working on the group project when I wasn’t tweaking my complex. I am always a busy bee in this class.

Weekly Update: This week in tech Lit we started our iMove. For Tuesday and Wednesday I was looking for pictures and coming up with my idea of telling the story of how to make Dump Cake. Yesterday, Thursday, I actually started in iMovie, even though all I did was put the pictures in order and make certian that they were fit to the screen correctly. Today I will be continuing in iMove putting in text and transitions. I hope to be done by next Tuesday! I am really excited that it is the end of the year and we only have about 10 days of school left.

Weekly Update: I thought that this week in Tech Lit was very fun, because I enjoy working in iBook. The first half of the week I was working on my Biopic, and the second half I was working on the extra credit iBook, My CY. I am also excited to work in iMovie next week. I am really enjoying this class!

Weekly Update: This week in 3d design to build I worked on my complex problem complex solution. On Monday I was still working on the

Weekly Update: This week in 3dd2b I finished and printed my Simple problem Simple solution. It was pretty problematic and at one point Schiff thought that I would have to start over, because we couldn’t find a way to to make the sides thicker. Eventually I found a way, exporting to Meshmixer and extruding it there. Now I am working on my Complex Problem Complex Solution, a Lemon Squeezer. I have the bottom half done, But the top half will be the hard part. I am really having fun in this class.

Weekly Update: This week in Tech Lit we continued with our biopics that we started last week. I got all of my pictures in by Thursday this week and I am busy putting the rest of my text and captions in. I think that this week I have been very productive in this class and I am enjoying this class a lot. This weekend I will be very busy with dance and such, but it will be fun. I am very excited for the school year to be over and for summer!

Weekly update: This week in Tech Lit I finished my work in Photoshop and started with working in iBook Author. On Monday I finished my extra credit, the Buddy Pic in Photoshop. On Tuesday Mr. Schiff introduced the biopics to us and we started by making a shell for them. I have finished my shell and I got pictures from home that I have started to put in. I am done putting pictures into 3 of the four chapters.

Weekly update: This week in 3DD2B I did my SP SS. I had a lot of fun with it this week because it was actually working. I had the idea of a candle holder that projects an image onto the wall when you put the candle in it. I really enjoy doing it because it is not to difficult and I have made some progress. I think that this has been one of my most fun classes all year. I hope to continue enjoying it.

Weekly Update: This week in 3D design to build I was making my SP SS. It started out as a bowl made of hexagons, but then it turned out to be nearly impossible. So today I was thinking of ideas and I tried a couple of different ideas and finally came to the conclusion of making a candle holder. I don’t think that this idea will be so time consuming or difficult. I have enjoyed this class a lot so far, probably because it’s a good challenge.

Weekly Update: This week in tech lit I finished my Horse makeover, did my personal makeover, and starting the extra credit. I have had a lot of fun with photo shop. The tools aren’t too difficult to use, and it is fun to mess up the pictures and add your own special touches. The creativity and imagination involved is also good. I enjoy photoshop much more than Excel.
