Suilding a 3D sculpture/shape

Today in class we have started a new project, we have been told to go on a website called www.tinkercad.com. There we have been told to watch through some trailers or lessons to learn about the website and to know how to use it. We have been told to sculpt/build something out of our own creativity and to experiment with the functions available for us.

Reflection: This website has very poor functions. It has a very small amount of shapes and does not included enough functions to work with. This website has been very confusing and hard. Also since it contains poor qualities it decreases my chances of thinking more creatively in creating this 3D model. This website has been very nerve racking and annoying. Since none of the functions worked as i wanted them to, so I decided to create something more easy in my style. Since my technological skills are very poor I decided to create something very easy and simple. I created two chicken friends.

Reflection - Week 3

Tuesday: I have Started to work on my information now. I have made one page where I have written all about all of the five topics which I have chosen which are; The months of the year, The days of the week, Colours, Numbers and family members. This I have done by translating from English to French. When I finally finished this page I decided to add some videos and pictures. I added these to some of the topic since the page looked to empty and boring. The Two videos that I added was about Number and Months of the year. The video with the Numbers has a lady talking and trying to explain how to pronounce all the different numbers from 1-100. The second video is about all of the months of the year; where a guy is singing a song in French about the months. Last I added a picture which includes some of France Cultural places and foods. After creating this I tried to get started on the quiz but it seemed impossible to Create a quiz at that time and insert it on to the website so I left it for next lesson.

Thursday: I have gotten started on My quiz with the help of my Partner in this project (Jisang Kim). I have chosen a little bit from each topic and mixed it up to around eight questions. These are all tick questions since I did not have time to find a Quiz maker which Creative ways of asking questions of answering them. My plan from the beginning was to make a quiz with cool effects which would Draw a line between answers connecting them from one to an other.  I also wanted to make bubbles and have the tick in those. But since I did not have time for that I had to stick with what
I had to be able to finish my work in time. I have worked very hard on this website and really tried my best to come up with creative ideas and expand on them more. I have kept changing my background picture over 7 times to find the right one. And it all has been very challenging since we had a certain topic to make this about. To create a layout for the website was very easy but what was hard was to create the quiz on a time pressure and learn how to insert it on to the website. This project has been very fun to and I learned much both about ICT and French.

Reflection - week 2

Tuesday: I have started to understand the website now and all of its functions. It is becoming easier to understand and I have come very far. So far I have created the Welcome page and the introduction. I have started on the different topics but I don't want to continue any further yet until I have finished fully with my first two pages. These have taken me a long time because it takes time to find the right background picture and try to fit the page back ground  with the actual whole page background. And then It is very important to fit the text colour, style and size to match with the two backgrounds. Also to include pictures and videos to interest people and make the website more exiting. I did all this plus I started on my third page until my whole creation got deleted. So sadly I now had to begin all over from scratch again. This accident put me under time pressure but it got solved with time and i managed to finish what I needed to finish in time.

Thursday: I have continued working on my French website. I have came up with a lot of different creative ideas that I can use for my web site. These have all been very useful for this website and this project. I have had a lot of fun so far while creating this website. It has gotten a lot easier to create and come up with ideas because as I said the website is filled with opportunities which makes you open up to the many opportunities and possibilities that you might have. I have finished my page of introduction about the topics. There I have included pictures which flow, slide, fly, fall in or appear in. I have both used pictures from Wix it self and also I have used pictures from Google. These have been pictures such as the Eiffel tower, The nature of France and the different topics that I have chosen. This all took very long at first because this was the time where I had to figure out how to insert your own pictures and how to insert them in a box so that they can appear the way that I wanted. In the end I managed to complete my creative introduction page about the topics.

Reflection - week 1

Tuesday: We got a task handed to us, this is meant to be complete on Thursday the 26th May.
we have gotten this task from two different subjects. This task is related to ICT and French. Our task is to create a website for the year sevens to learn French online. This is going to be a website for the Year sevens to learn Basic French online. I am going to create this on Wix. All of the information is going to be made/written in my French class. I am working on this with Jisang Kim. We have come together because we work well and so we have decided to work together on this project. We have chosen 5 topics in French to include in our website. These are: colors, numbers, days of the week, months and family members. We have worked on these  topics in French. We feel confident about these topics and so we have decided to choose these 5 topics. We have come up with fun ideas and creative ways of learning in our French class and so we have combined our knowledge of ICT and French and decided to create something Good. We have just started but we think, no we know that it is going to be very creative and good. :)
The website and the whole creation of it is going to be challenging since our skills in ICT are not that good. So far our planning has gone very well our team work has been very effective as well and i think that this project is going to have a very good outcome. Also our only concern is how to create the actual quiz and the overall unit test. It is going to be challenging to create it for free somewhere online and then insert it somewhere on the website.

Thursday: We have finally started our website and so far it is going very well. We have created a good template and a good welcome page. The website has many various options which makes it easier for you to be more creative and do more effective in class and produce professional and good work. The website is also a bit tricky since you have to figure everything out by yourself. All of the functions that it has are not explained so you have to experiment a lot with the website to finally understand what is is capable of. This takes a lot of time as well, that worries me for time pressure and not being able to finish in time since we have so much to do and since the website has so  many functions it will be very hard to find them all in time. The Wix programme is easy to work with but the problem is that all of our ideas take time to create since there are so many and also because of the website being very detailed and having so many functions. But so far it is going good and progress is happening.

Term 3- multi language website (inter-disciplinary unit with FML)

Statement of inquiry: Designers must consider the multiple cultural perspectives in communicating effectively by way of language to suit the need of the end users.

Task: To create a multicultural website

Target audience: Grade 7 students

Introduction:  I am a student of French for 1 year. I started studying French in 8th grade in term 2, since that was the period that I arrived at. I am gong to create a website for the year 7 students about how to  learn French online. This website is going to include a lot of different topics such as the months of the year, the days of the week, the numbers (1-50) and the last topic that we are going to educate about is going to be about the family and different family members. I am going to work in a pair for this website project together with Jisang Kim. Me and Jisang Kim have decided that we are going to ask questions in French and and give them multiple choices of answers for them to choose the correct one. For the colors we are going to paint clouds in specific colors, then we will tell them to find a specific colour by selecting one of the correct clouds. This will be the same for the rest of the topics. They well be told a story or a meaning where they have to select a correct answer in the multiple choice columns. So the website is going to include pictures and text for the year 7 students to encourage them to learn online on modern technology. There are ready made tools that enable you to create a website such as wix , weebly etc... There are web authoring software like Dreamweaver that enable you to design your own website from scratch. I have tried dream weaver and this is my first task about me.

Reflection: For this unit I have found it very hard to work with the website. It has been very confusing and babe to understand. Also with all of the noise in the class it is very hard to concentrate and and listen to the instructions that are given! To create a website has been very hard and tuff. To figure out all of the buttons and meaning and how to smoke things or add thing on to the website has been very confusing so therefor I think that this unit is going to be challenging and interesting.

Reflection on articles from real life situations of hacking

There was a young girl from Sweden who visited a website which showed movies online. This website had tons of commercials and ads telling the girl to click here and there to win a price. The girl then accidentally pressed the links and the ads. Nothing seemed to happen so she went out of the ads and started watching the movie that she had been wanting to watch. It was only until after the movie that she realized that someone had hacked in t her computer and taken several pictures of her through her camera.  She than saw that these pictures of her were posted online for everyone to see.
The girl then contacted the police after speaking to her parents about what happened. The police luckily managed to delete the pictures from the net and the girl then learned her lesson. Not to click on ads or  advertisements.
