Roller Coaster

Today we were able to go to see the 12 grade projects. They were very original, interesting. They were 6 projects and all of them were great. In my opinion they all seem hard to do. They were many small details that required a lot of effort. If some tiny thing went wrong the hole project got all messed up. The first one we saw was the one of a Chinese thing. The decoration was pretty cool but the marbles were supposed to pass the roler coster . The most projects tried them and could like until the third time. My favorite one was Melida's, Marifer read and marifer. They made it of cotton candy it was very original and looked delicious. Also i liked Rafa's, Paulina's and Sandra's. It was about soccer, and i found it very cool when they threw the marble and it fell in the soccer goal. All of the projects were intersting and hard to elaborate. They took a lot of time to make and it and i found it pretty amazing. Definately i can't wait to be in 12 grade to mak this project.

Speech

In our English class we're talking about speeches, and last Friday we had a Mexican, American dude named Francisco. He came and gave us an inteesting speech about his tough experience in Iraq. Can you guys belive this guy was actually in our school. He graduated years ago and aperently he still is very interested in the school. He went into a military school in the states and told us about his experience of being a Mexican American in the states. He told us that it was a very tough thing. That many students in his class couldn't handle that a mexican was graduating and they wouldn't. He passed through very hard moments. He never gave up, which I felt very proud of him. He also told us about his experience in Iraq. He did many challenging things. He said the most shocking thing he did was when he acctidently killed a 15 year old kid. He hasn't get over it yet. We asked questions about how he thought that the U.S army helped Iraq and the world. In my opinion he is an admirable person and his speech was absolutely unforgetable.

On the weekends I like to hang out with my friends. Go to the beach, the movies or hang out at their houses. Being with them is amazing because we have a lot of fun. We laugh about dumb things, but its amazing to spend time with them. My best friends are Debora, Ximena, Adriana, Sofia, Hope, and Courtney. All of them go to my school, and in my same classroom.

Class Projects

Today in the class we heard very interesting projects. To be honest some of them were great and some of them not very great. They had a variety of sound effects which they were pretty amazing! I heard a couple and I liked the remixes. Songs and lyrics were mixed and that made an spectacular rhythm. Although some of them were very creative they very repetitive. They were sound effects that last like 40 seconds wich is a big amout of time. They should be like 15 or 10 maximum. There was a sound effect that most of the people in the class used. They all raped. which I though it was vry cool. They started raping and when you listened the song it sounded like a real rap song. I don't really want to say names but the one i like the most was Rodrigo's. Hes projects simply was wonderful. It was creative, it has an amazing rhythm and very unique. The projects i saw yesterday were pretty good actually andi'm very proud of the craftmanship of my class.

Listening

In my audacity project I used many different sounds. I tried to based more in ocean sounds because I wanted something relaxing. But then i realized that i would be better if i recorded sounds and tried to make more noise. The one that I used the most was the sounds I recorded. I made different rap sounds, singing and others, but definitely the one that was more repetitive was the singing part. On the other hand most of my classmates didn't recorded much, they based more in sounds. Something i could have put more background sounds. Although my project was great!

Audacity Project

My audacity project was adequate and outstanding. I thought I could have done a better work. Some of the sounds I recorded were a bit lame. Although I like the remix I did. I mixed the sounds I recorded and the different kind of noises. First I started with a background which was the sound of seashore. It gave a very relaxing sound, that make me remember my summer vacation. I used a variety of background sounds like for example gulls, carpenter and wind sounds. The others, I recorded them. I made rap and i also sang. I think that the rap part was the best. Mahonry my classmate helped me a little, and we did an amazing rhythm and beat. On my opinion I thought it was kind of hard, because i tried to make a good rhythm and a beat and sometimes it didn't worked how I wanted. If i could guess who will be the winner it will be Mahonry. I think hes project is very creative and actually is very fun! i love how he mixed the song disturbia, and then he recored some sounds. My project from audacity was pretty interesting and cool.

My mash up (Mine)

My mash was very creative. I did it of scary songs, because I love terror. I thought it was a very original idea because the rhythm was very cool. I changed the tone in the songs, and it sounded very creepy. It sounded like your were acutally in a hounted house. I tried to used songs that are used in scary movies wich I thought it was very original. What I think i could
improved was in the songs, althought they were good they were a little boring i think. My group was getting a lit bit annoyed. Seriously I loved mine and I was very proud!

Mash Up Groups

I really liked my group member project. Pedro Pablo, Jorge, Fer and Taku did and amazing job.
I enjoyed Fer's a lot because she used two songs one in remix and the other one was normal. It had a lot a sound and very good rhythm, i wanted to dance because the rhythm was very cool. Taku's was very fun too. He did of scary songs, which remind me a lot a of Halloween. He used songs like
"The Exorcist" and others. I really liked the tone of the songs, and the way they put two songs at the same time. Pedro's was good too. He was very creative in his songs. Jorge was awesome. He used many different effects in the songs and changed the rhythm completly. My group was awesome they did great mashes!

Future Artifact

I love my artifact. I think its very unique and creative. My favorite thing about my artifact is that you can communicate with people by via mind. It is an unique project because no one did it about reading of communicating with our minds. I found it very interesting because image this invent exist? it would very essential and very useful. The person that created this artifact would become very rich. Also if you read all the info about the artifact is not even expensive. I think that what i dislike about my artifact is the cost of this artifact. Its very cheep, it should be more expensive. My artifact is unique and would be essential.

Anna had and amazing artifact. I really enjoyed reading it. It was so interesting and if you think about it would actually be very amazing
if you could have that in real life. For example if you want to go for your summer vacations you could go to the moon, or Jupiter. Although we all know that it will be impossible to go to Jupiter etc. Imagine that in real life there was and airplane that could travel in space. I would love if someone invented this airplane. Anna's artifact the coolest invent i ever seen! love it!

Maybe in the future this artifact could be invented. Now in days scientists are planning more and more thinks for the future. The person who invents this artifact would actually become rich. I'm sure that this will change the world. Celebrities would pay for spending a great vacation at space. This would be a shocking thing that would paralyzed the world. I seriously don't think that i could travel because it would be a very expensive flight. This event would be essential and awesome for the world!

Tutorial Two

I chose this tutorial so it can help me represent the thoughts and ideas that are coming out of our heads. I thought this effect was going to be very complicated but I realized it wasn't. Thanks to this tutorial my project will be much easier to do, and appear as it really was from the future. In my opinion this tutorial would give a more realistic image for my invent.

Tutorial One

I chose this tutorial because it will help me a lot with my artifact. My artifact consists in a device that allows you to communicate with people via thoughts. This tutorial will help me create the device, that's why I chose something to do with machines and robotics. It can also be useful to make an object appear from the future.

Social Media Opinion

As you have realized and read my friends opinios, some of them are pretty good and some of them I think the're exagerating a bit. Some of them say that social media is a total distraction and it can be sometimes. Some people may used for hours, and be kind of addicted but it really depends on which type of person you are, and the values that your family has tought you.  For example if you want to log in to messenger or facebook and you haven't done your homework, we all know that the correct thing to do is first do our homework and then you can do whatever you want. In my opinion i'm not that type of person that spends hours and is addicted to something. Well, expect chocolate haha. I have to say that those people who don't do anything that being in the computers really need help.  Many people will think that social media is only for terrible things or that is bad influence for kids, but seriouly its not. Social media helps you to be untoched with your friends and family. You can communicate and also you can share information and news. Social media is essential in our lives, but we should be aware and used it with moderation.  Remember "Everything with measure"

Atract from the future

I chose this artifact because i found it very interesting. Imagine that you are in your house alone, so much pain that you cant even move. Then you strip out the device that operates automatically. You just squeeze a few buttons, and since these operates you don't feel no more pain. It is an artifact from the future because because artifact is never going to be invented.

Did you know?

Theres a lot of things i didn't knew. The world is a giagantic mass that has trillions of people. 

This video talks about the per cent and population of the people in the world. It talks about the population in the biggest countries like India, China or the U.S.A  It also talks about how the Social Media Revolution is envolved with all of the population in the world.  How the people used constantly the websites and everything. Social Media is all over the world i'm very surprised, but how i already said this is only a fad.

Education Today and Tomorrow

Education is very important in our lives.  Our parents do everything so we can have good education. Technology has revolutionized our lives,  but what if it all come crashing down? What happens then? Kids today would be screwed if there was a solar storm that knocked out the telecommunication satellites and the electrical grids world-wide. It will be simply teaching students how to be an efficient, industrialised worker drone by turning their schooling into a technological based curriculum. Or they should  be teaching us how to be a self actualised human by teaching us basic life skills and human values such as compassion, empathy, respect, conservation of the environment, the interconnectedness of life, basic mathematical and literacy skills, all of which you cannot rely on technology alone to teach. In my opinion, students should be worried about education first, thats what only matters.

Social Media Revolution

Now in days the Social Media has become very essential in our lives.  Every day people goes online in what ever website they like and spend hours and hours.  Some of them use it just because its fun, so they can socialize,  or simply because they don't have nothing better to do.  It has been proved that 96% of the people have joined a social network. I found that  unbelievable. How can that percent of people be online in a website, for hours. I now you might tell me that I'm wrong, but the ugly truth is that i do it too. I spend hours and hours in websites like facebook, or myspace or messenger. For me Social Media is  fad. Right now is in the top, but when theirs something cooler than internet or any other website, i'm sure it will be more entartaining and cool. Social media is a fad an soon  it will be nothing.
