Some of the greatest risks of being on the inter web include phishing and cyber bullying, both of which can affect a person's life tremendously. ]]> 2019-05-02 15:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356256793 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356259434 In this word document, we talked about the benefits of having carbs  in a diet and how to have healthier eating habits, learning how to use Microsoft Word in the process. We also looked at the amount of sodium in cereals as salt can be both helpful and harmful (if too much is eaten) to a person. ]]> 2019-05-02 15:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356259434 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356262166 We created a maze using a table in Microsoft Word and removing and/or adding borders to the chart in order to create a working maze. We then added related pictures to a theme of choice and typed out directions,making the maze more realistic. ]]> 2019-05-02 15:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356262166 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356263524 In this Word Document, we learned how to copy and paste text charts, etc. from another document onto a Word document that had MLA format. By doing this, we learned how to use one of the many Word formats and learned how to put/transform information in regular essay -like paragraphs, to be in MLA format, which is the typical formal paper format.]]> 2019-05-02 15:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356263524 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356266035 When learning about fair use, we watched a video and learned about what fair use on the internet exactly was. We also did a crossword puzzle on fair use. Fair use is a rule/doctrine that allows a limited use of copy write material without having to get permission from the copy write holder. ]]> 2019-05-02 15:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356266035 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356269020 We created folders in our H drive (located in file explorer) and learned how to use folders to organize assignment/files from each class. We also learned how to use the folders organize to files from just one class so that the file is easy to find.]]> 2019-05-02 15:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356269020 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356274412 Binary code is a bit number system that is the base on/off system of a computer. It uses 1's (on) and 0's (off) in order to control parts within the computer. Binary code for each letter/number is different as there is a code for each letter and number. When learning about binary code, we wrote numbers and letters in binary code. ]]> 2019-05-02 16:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356274412 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356279786 This excel assignment had us enter data into an excel spreadsheet and change the size of the cells to fit the data. The assignment involved certain brands of cereals and their content of sodium per serving. ]]> 2019-05-02 16:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356279786 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356282512 In this excel assignment, we compared the colors of M&M's in an individual packet and collected data from others. During this assignment, we developed the skills for formulas for sum, average, medial, mode and constant cell refrence. ]]> 2019-05-02 16:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/356282512 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357231596 We learned about the software and hardware involved when using a computer with a crossword puzzle. In the crossword puzzle, we learned about the CPU of a computer, megabytes, input and output devices, etc. ]]> 2019-05-06 15:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357231596 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357237308 While writing a formal email, we learned how to format an email and what type of language/vocabulary to use in different emails. We wrote a formal email to one of our teachers using our synergy mail system. In the email we talked about concern for grades or assignment or gratitude for what the teacher has done in the school year.]]> 2019-05-06 15:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357237308 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357240204 We created a presentation about ourselves in order to help our class mates and teacher get to know us a little better. While creating this presentation, we learned how to use the basics of Power Point and when we finished the power point, we presented it to the class. ]]> 2019-05-06 15:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357240204 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357242463 Using a graphing calculator, we solved a number of math problems. In doing so, we learned some of the features of a graphing calculator and figured out how we could use the graphing calculator to solve other, more difficult math equations. ]]> 2019-05-06 15:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357242463 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357251712 In frame animation part 1, we chose a school related word and made it slowly disappear and slowly reappear automatically once the present button was pressed. We did this by first typing out the word and with each proceeding slide, we took away a letter in order to make it "disappear". Then we did the same thing to make it reappear, except this time we added letters. We learned how to do timed slide switches and continual loops in order to make it automatic once presented. ]]> 2019-05-06 15:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357251712 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357255031 When doing breakouts, we had a number of challenges (usually 5 to 6) in which we had to solve in order to "break out". These challenges required us to think outside the box and use higher level thinking skills in order to solve the challenges. When all the challenges were solves, we could fully break out of the 5-6 challenges. ]]> 2019-05-06 15:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357255031 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357255195 We created an animation using Paint and PowerPoint. Starting with a base image, we made little changes to the original image to imitate "motion" and each time a change was made, we pasted the slightly changed image onto a new slide. The end product was that we had an animation and in doing the animations, we learned/explored more features about Power Point, such as transitions, timed slide switch, etc. ]]> 2019-05-06 15:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357255195 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357683807 While creating this trivia game, we used coding pieces to create a trivia game, where the sprite/character responds each time a question is answered correctly or incorrectly. In creating this game, we learned even more about scratch and its told, as well as, how to insert sound and different costumes for our sprites (characters) to enhance the game. ]]> 2019-05-07 15:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357683807 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357684846 In this scratch challenge assignment, we completed two challenges and input them into our own scratch assignment using what we learned from the previous Scratch projects. We learned how to creatively weave these challenges into our project while simultaneously figuring out how parts and pieces of coding can be applied to your own projects and have the same functions/effects. ]]> 2019-05-07 15:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357684846 99804008 https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357685260 In this spaceship game, we learned how to create a game where you can use coding to create the game. When creating this game, we learned a lot about how all the coding pieces attach/come together to make a game that you can play. There were numerous pieces of coding involved and was a bit complicated, however, in the end, we ended up creating a well-functioning game. ]]> 2019-05-07 15:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/99804008/ej8nc1xa3d5z/wish/357685260
