My Digital Life
My Digital Life is a great game for me to learn because it tells about how things could have occur in real life. It is a game of eight modules where you have to complete them to get your final score. On the first seven it is quizzes and videos you watch to complete the last course. My favorite things about My Digital Life is that it tells about the outside world and, you have to be aware.
My Digital Life reflects my experienced because it shows how and why you shouldn't do bad things. Doing inappropriate things could harm your education. My Digital Life is a game to improve your skills and knowledge. This is my certificate from playing My Digital Life. I got a 440 out of 700 and mostly understand the lessons. It isn't a hard and if you work on My Digital Life you may discover things you've never notice before. I think it is good to win the certificate because that means you've earned your hard work. Not only that, My Digital Life is an educational game you use to improve knowledge of the outside world. From playing it I learned that it is dangerous in the outside world and strangers could contact you at any time. A connection I have is with my school and parents because they all taught me to be aware of stranger and make good decisions. A change is that now a game is teaching me the steps. |
Power Searching with Google
In Power Searching with Google you have to watch videos or teaching lessons and take notes about the videos. I learned that they teach you more about using computers and not waste time or spend lots of time on the computers. This was the certificate I received from the watching all the videos and taking the quizzes and the final test. I think that this project was effective, but it takes a lot of time, and that is the cons of it. Otherwise, it is very effective and helped me a lot.
A way that helped me remember the lessons is that I use the computer often, so some steps I learn stick with me everyday. This project is like taking Cornell notes in core, then taking a test afterwards. Power Searching with Google was easy to use, but as I stated before it takes up a lot of time watching and taking notes. Power Searching with Google was a challenge and help too. |
My Experience with Microsoft Editorials and Ribbon Hero...
Microsoft Editorials and Ribbon Hero are both similar to eachother because they both use Microsoft. However, there is a major difference in the teachings of how to use Microsoft. In Microsoft Editorials the class had to take notes while watching short videos, and in Ribbon Hero it is about helping Clippy a paperclip to fix his mistakes by finding the right correction.
My experience in the two activities is that Microsoft Editorials teach me much more even if it takes more work and much more boring I learned more because of the step-by-step teachings of how to use Microsoft. On the other hand, in Ribbon Hero I take less thinking and more fun. Even though it cause a little frustration at not finding the right corrections it is much more active. However, in Ribbon Hero I attempt to forget some things. It is just like a video game, everything is quick, so Ribbon Hero is just active and not teaching you much. When I figured out the corrections it was usually from the skills in Microsoft Editorials, Ribbon Hero is only giving you hints and clues and once you figured out the correction you may already start to forget or like I said before the everything is quick, so you could easily forget. In conclusion, Microsoft Editorials are the better ones and should be in usage. Even if it provides less fun you learn more. Also, when too active you do not learn as much as having fun. Anyways, sometimes learning the boring way helps you improve better than the fun way. |
Black Swan in PowToon
|
In this assignment, I created a presentation in PowToon, using a topic we learned this year. I used all the facts that I knew about our zoo animal, the black swan, and used it in this presentation. PowToon was an easy tool to use because there are almost all the materials you need to create a good presentation. You could also create short movies there too. Powtoon was easy to create the presentation because you can use all the materials there to create it. I have a connection similar to using PowToon, however, it was in math.I was to take a quiz on a topic I struggled on, then, for some reason, may be that I solve it very slow and take it slowly, the quiz was very easy and I came to know that topic perfectly well.
I learned from doing this project that you can use pictures to represent your words you are going to write. That creates shorter words for people to read and that is a good thing because in a presentation, you have to learn to use few words and make an image act the rest. At first I didn't really get the meaning of using pictures to represent words. But after this project I learned to use pictures because the images in PowToon give me the idea of what kind of images are the appropriate choice. I think that this a very effective project because it helped me learn how to use pictures to represent words. Also, it was very simple and that made PowToon easy to remember and use. |
