Weekly Update: This week in 3dd2b I printed my nut and bolt and made my bunny bank. The nut and bolt took a few tries to print, and I never really ended up making it the right size. One of them was way too big, and the other was a shrimp, but its okay because the big one screws on pretty well. I got a little bit of free time this week too, because I had my nut and bolt done. I also made the bunny bank, which was very easy and didn’t have any kinks except that it took a long time for the money hole to subtract. I am really enjoying this class.

Weekly Update: This week in tech lit I finished the extra credit database, and worked in photoshop telling a story through a photo. The story is that a huge tsunami travels all the way to a horse field with a horse and Sydney in it. There is also a banana dolphin cowboy wrangling the horses with a police car on it’s tail. This week I really enjoyed the flexibility and creativity aspect.

Weekly Update: This week in 3dd2b I printed my boat and did the next assignment in 123d design. I was printing my boat by Tuesday, and it was a success. On Monday I started my Nut and Bolt, I finished it by Thursday and started printing it today. I accidentally sized it to large, and had to cancel it half way through and will start it printing again on Monday. I had a lot of fun in this and allow my classes this week.

Weekly Update: This week in Tech Lit we worked on finishing our databases. I finished all of them including the extra credit by yesterday. I enjoy doing the databases and learning new quirks and tricks on Macs, so Tech Lit is fun. This weekend my Grandparents are staying at our house. I hope to continue enjoying this class.

Weekly Update: This week in 3D design to build I was working only in 123d design. At the beginning of the week I was making my hybrid of kits and primitives. When I was done I started my mallet and board, which took a little longer than the single day it took me to create the hybrid. The assignment I am planning on starting today is making the simple boat, I hope to make a bench and oars to print with the simple boat. I am really enjoying the creativity involved in this class.

Weekly Update: This week in Tech Lit we worked in Excel making databases. The first database we made was about the birthdays of some of our classmates. The second was on the amount of earthquakes above 7.0 magnitude in the Western states in the last 100 years. The one I am currently working on is one about how I would spend 1,000 dollars. For all of these we made the simplest version in Excel then copied and pasted the final representations into word and formatted the final product there. I have really enjoyed Tech Lit so far.

Weekly update: This week in Tech Lit we worked on getting our research papers done. Early on in the week we continued taking the notes that we had startd on Friday in Easybib. While taking these notes we were also to start our bibliography.  All we had to do to accomplish this was copy the url of the website and then Easybib and it puts it into the correct format for you. After getting all of our notes we printed them out and began to write. By Thursday I was having my paper on Australian Labradoodles peer edited . Today I printed it out and got it on my blog, and I plan on turning in the paper copies of everything on Monday. This week went very well in my opinion.

Weekly Update: This week in 3Dd2b I got to start exploring two different apps that we will be working in. The first one was Sketch up, which we began in on Monday. We did two exercises, the first was creating a bowl and the second was creating a simple chair, there was also extra credit of creating a vase which I attempted, but failed. Creating the bowl was easy and gave me a chance to explore the tools. the chair was a little more difficult, but not to mind boggling. The second app we are starting to explore is 123d design. We are in the process of creating a hybrid of kits and primitives. It has been a very fun week.

Weekly Update: This week in Tech Lit we accomplished a lot of things. To begin with we got our Files 1 organized and our ePortfolios updated. Secondly I got an Easybib account set up. Then Mr. Schiff informed us of the paper that we were going to write using notes and making a bibliography in Easybib. Then we got a new project set up and started taking notes. Next week we will actually begin writing the papers. I am really enjoying Tech Lit and have already learned a lot!

Weekly update: 

This week in 3D design 2Build I got to mess around in and created a dolphin in 123D design Sculpt+. By Thursday I had it in the Que in one of the printers and it was printed by Friday. I am enjoying the creativity of this class and love working in this application to create sculptures. I am having a lot of fun in this class and am excited to continue in it.
