theme and process

During this week, we started planning all of our "Bay in day" videos, which were absolutely great. I had tons of fun, uploading the pictures, and creating effects on it. My theme in my video was Everyday life. All of my pictures based on every people's lives. The new and creative things they have to experience everyday. I choose this theme, because this is what every people goes through everyday. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you are located, what matters are the moments, the adventures you have daily. For my my theme, is the most important thing in this hole video. It's the idea about what I have about life. We should always be happy and demonstrate how wonderful is life. Just remember live every day like if there was no tomorrow. Live, laugh love.

When I started creating my video, I had no idea about what my video was going to be about. I had no clue. Than I remembered about how fun and adventurous is life everyday. The process of my video was a bit hard. I choose pictures about me and my friends, and I tried to choose the pictures in which we looked very happy and having lots of fun. I choose pictures from school, parties etc. My song, was LOVE TODAY- MIKA which I think is the correct one because of my theme. Last but not least, I uploaded a video of some friends having tons of fun, which really symbolizes the everyday life. This project is one of the best and most interesting projects we have done in this class. The process was absolutely fun.

VIDEO EVERYDAY LIFE

Life in a Day

Today in class, we saw a very interesting video about life. In the video we can observe different scenes that we experienced every day. I did like the video because its funny how all the scenes that appear are things that we do in real life. If we really think about, life's a routine. We do the same things over and over. Sometimes we might do different things, but it's still the same stuff. It all starts at day light, thousands of people interacting with each other. The message in this video is that everyday for every person, is different and in the video we see what other people experience or see. This video really made me think a lot.

The "chunks" that I found very powerful from the video were when people were interacting with each other, and people exercising. It is very powerful because that's what most of people's routine is. Most people exercise and work every day. That's what happens almost everyday, its a routine that people do. That's a great example in the video because that's really Life in a Day.

Investigation

Today in class we worked on our project about fuel efficiency, and about our transportation and the gas we waste etc. I discovered how to measure how much to I waste of fuel, and how much fuel I waste by walking, using an electric bicycle etc. For example, by walking I use 14.8629.
By using an electric bicycle I use 19.4805 and by bus I use 565.665. This really makes me think about really using cars, because I'm really wasting a lot of money, and also i'm not helping the environment at all. We really should try to considerate more of wasting fuel and money. We should really safe more.

Fuel Sufficient

Have you ever wondered how many liters of gas we use only by driving small distances?
In my case, we use our cars for everything. To going to school, going to Galerias etc. My mom uses her Maxima car and only from my house to la Marina,( my school ) we waste 1610.388 $ per year. On the other hand, there's my dream car, which is an Infiniti. I seriously love that car is so beautiful. It is worse for me to have the Infiniti car because it uses 1701.297 $ per year. Which really is not very good. Now that I did the result I figure out, that if I have my dream car, it will be worse than have the car I use right now, because I'll definitely waste more money.

Maxima	Day	Week	Year	$/year
12.4 km/100mL	0.9672	4.836	178.932	1610.388
Infiniti

Google Tours

The first tour I watched, was Feri's. It was very interesting and entertaining. Before I wathced her tour, she mentioned some things she did at the summer, bu when I saw the tour, I could imagine perfectly all of her summer vacation. It was pretty awesome. It was very interesting to see the places she visited. It seems like her tour, was very fun, she went to Boston. She had many places, which made the tour long but entertaining, she had many details that make the one whose watching it very fun. What Feris could have done better, is to try to make the tour, go a bit more slow. In some parts, you couldn't appreciate it well, because it was too fast.

The second tour I saw was Adri's. I really liked her tour, because she had the exact places
were she spent most of her summer. For example her house, which i know it quite well, so I could exactly know when I was watching the tour. I like that Adri, specified very well and put details in her tour. What she could improve it is to make her tour more brief. It was too long, that bored a bit, although it was still very entertaining.

The last tour I saw was Fernanda's. Fernanda's tour was amazing. I really liked hers. It seems like if she put a lot of effort, she settled on the cities rather than specific hotels and airport, I really liked that, it was quite interesting. She definately could have improve her tour. It would have been better if she had more details about all the places that she visited, on the other side, she was still very precise.

Last but not least, my tour. I like my tour because I put details and I tried to specified the most I could. I put all the places I visited like when I went to Guadalajara, when I was working at the restaurant etc. Although it was brief i still like my tour. Many people say that I could have done better if my tour had been longer, but i didn't wanted to have a very long tour, because it wouldn't be the same. I like brief presentations but with a lot of details. I think i was precise, in my tour and it was interesting and entertaining.

JOY :)

School year just started! Yay! I'm gald im back from Summer Vacations. I had one of the best vacations ever. I did many fun and different things from other years. An amazing thing was that I learned to become a much better person, and to get to know more people. This summer was my sweet fifteen party. I had a wonderful time. All of my friends were there, wishing me happy birthday, which made me feel very special. Everything at my party was perfect for me, all of my friends had fun. A week after my party, my mom decided to make a trip to USA. We visited some family in L.A and San Diego, California. I did shopping and many interesting things while I was there. A good thing was that I got out of the same routine. When I arrived back to PV, I spent most of my vacations working at my Dad's restaurant... It wasn't that boring, because my sister was with me and we both spent some quality time together. This were the things I just did!


One thing I would like to do for myself, its probably have a rest. In my opinion I worked so hard this summer at my Dad's restaurant. I worked in the Morning and also in the afternoon. I ended exhausted every day, but I felt happy because I was helping my Dad with the business. Probably I deserve some vacations right? Maybe going into a SPA or something like that LOL.
Another thing I'll like to do for myself is.. spend more time with my pals. This summer I think I just got like to chances to spent time with them. I like to hang out with them after school and stuff. I really deserve that. Also I think I deserve more communication with my family. Spent time with them, and share important memories. These are the things I'll like to do for myself.


A part of me that makes me very special is... Mmm.. I probably think that, the way I am. I think I am very different from other people in my school. I have attitudes that make me unique. I consider myself a strong person. I don't go down that easily. I always try to face any problem I'm having, because I don't want to be afraid of no one. Another thing that makes me a special person, is that I'm always there to help others with any kind of problem they might have. Always I try to give my pals advices to make them feel better in very tough moments. When they always need my help, I'm always there trying to get a smile out of their faces.
For me that's absolutely a very unique and special thing about me. I consider myself a lucky girl whose dreams are really coming true. Maybe sometimes people might think i'm a bit agressive, but that's the way i'm, I like to fight for what I want, and I don't want to surrender. These are the things that make me special.

Net Speed Graph

Here is a picture of my net speed from all over the year. Here you can see the rises and the downs I had over the year. In the graph you can observe that some days, I was pretty good, but sometimes my scores weren't that successful. I think I've improve a lot this year. I remember that in the beginning of the year I had many issues in typing. I used to type very slow, now my scores have improved dramatically. Now i'm able to type faster. For example most f the times my net speed has increased a lot. Now I have 30s and I used to have like 17 or 20s. I think typing should be included in next year, because like that many students will be able to type faster and they life would be easier. It is the best thing to do. They would feel less pressure when they have to do homework's and stuff like that.
I think that typing tracker really helped me a lot this year, I've become a faster in typing.

Graphs

Pow 3: This graph can also help you read the percentages. Although is a bit confusing, because most of the grades are very close., but it also shows were it rises and where it goes down.

Bar graph: This graph demonstrates percentages. This chart is helpful because if can help you understand how much I increased in the tests. You can observe some bars going up and some of the going down.

Pie Graph: This is not a good graph, because it doesn't
demonstrate specific information. If you look at
the graph you can't tell anything about it. Not the growth
nothing. This is not a good graph. It needs more information like estimations, actual data etc.

Oil Spill

This year the world has faced one of the major enviromental issues. This is the Oil Spill that occured in Louisiana. It was a catastrophic explosion that caused an oil spill from a BP offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico has reached the shoreline. The leak is currently releasing 5,000 barrels of oil per day, this oil spill is on track to become the worst oil spill in history.
This even has made me understand even more why environmentalists are so passionate with their beliefs. This is a nightmare of crude, cruel proportions. This company is killing all of our marine life and the nerve you have to want your life back and to say the size of the spill is way less then the water that is in the ocean that is not the point you are killing everything in that area and that affects the entire ocean. To solve this situation is in the best interest of humanity, this is important for all. Let’s work as simple human beings interested in save our gulf, eventually the pollution caused are going to affect all the oceans. It's time for bp or OBAMA or any rich company to offer job to all the jobless in the country and to request authorization to employ illegal’s and bring people to help clean this mess, an human chain of workers along the beach is needed, need to fight. To solve this situation is in the best interest of humanity, this is important for all.

Map TESTING WEEK.

Last week, we had our MAP TESTINGS. They were OK, I thought i was going to get all stressed out but as matter of fact I didn't. I was relaxed, and I tried my best in each one of the tests. I expected to have better grades in English, but unfortunately my highest score was in math, I got 234. Which I felt very proud of. I was expecting more hard questions or many more difficult things, but I think that I've improved a lot in math. I remember that in the last ones I got like 215. Which that demonstrates that I've develop a lot. I felt very good, when I finished my exams, with no more stress!!

Enviromental Issues PRESENTATIONS

Today I had the pleasure to see different presentations. They were very interesting. They were about different types of environmental issues. I graded Mahonry's presentation that talked about Global Farming. He explained very important and interesting facts that make me think of how we humans are destroying the planet. He put very important bullet points and I like the pictures. Although he forgot to put the citations and most of the time, in the slides he had a lot of information, he needed to reduce it. My presentation was quite well. I put a lot of effort and mentioned very important facts about rain forest destruction. I put important facts and put very important quotes that make us humans wonder to safe the planet. The presentations were very interesting!

POWERPOINT ISSUES

When I was in Primary in 5th and 6th grade, every end of a bimester we had to create a book talk. We did a report mentioning the summary, and the character description, we had to make our presentations on power point. I remember that every one wrote all their information (report) on the slides, and it was very boring because every single word they said on their presentation was written in the slides. That is a big issue, because then the presentation becomes very boring, and its not longer entertaining. Also, I don't want to say names, but they were a couple of students did over animation and people had terrible headaches, also with the color schemes. In my opinion those are errors in power point that really need to get fix in order to a presentation to be interesting.

Earth Day videos & Rubric

Yesterday, we had to grade 2 videos from the Earth Day Project. I graded and Alex's 7th grade and 12th grade. They were both very interesting, they had good music and they had interesting and cool images. Although most of the pictures they got them from the internet, I really think they did a great job! I honestly liked more the 12 grade one, because it had more details the rubric was asking. Like the music. Now that I fully saw the rubric I would have change many things. Small details, first I would have change my song. I would had recite a poem, it would have been more easy. Also, our tone voice, wasn't very clear that's why we are probably having some trouble in our grade. The Earth Video Projects were a total success.

Enviromental Issues

The most serious environmental issue that the world is facing right now, is rain forest destruction. Now in days, people are destroying many beautiful and important forests all over the world. Our rainforests are being destroying for many particular reasons, but the most is because of industries. One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries. Industries like We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years. Rainforests are being destroyed because the value of rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners. Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation. We seriously need to take care of all of our forests. We need to be more considerate. We should recycle, reuse and reduce. There's people, that waste a lot of paper without thinking that all of those papers are dead trees. The beauty, majesty, and timelessness of the rainforests are indescribable. It is impossible to describe in words, or to explain to those who have never had the awe-inspiring experience of standing in the heart of a rainforest. But we really need to do something, to stop this big issue. If I could do something to help this issue, I would do many groups, to stop this. I would do recycle, and reuse the same papers. I would really try this to work. Remember this is not impossible, be the change you want to see in the world -Ghandi.

Earth Day Video

For Computer Class we had to make a video about Earth Day, which was one of the most interesting and fun projects I've ever done! My partner is Ximena. We planned everything with a lot of anticipation and our project went great! We thought about many different songs, like World Hold On, Love Generation but the one that we finally chose was Send It On-Disney Channel. It is a song, that talks about the change we want to see in the world. It talks about Be the change you want to see in the world. It is a very emotive song, it talks about all the beautiful things that a different world can have. We recorded with our voices, although we aren't great singers we tried our best and it sounded OK. We made the video at El Tigre. We painted our faces with a heart that symbolized love in the world and we made a peace sign that symbolizes that we want peace and freedom in our world. We took many pictures about nature and we put them in the video. We took pictures about animals, and plants. They are very beautiful. I don't think our project is going to win, because its not that original, but the good thing is that is symbolizes mother nature, and the change people want in the world.

Spring Break

My Spring Break, was great! It was probably one of the best I've ever had.
I did many things. Every day I was very active and occupied. I had friends that came from Guadalajara and Mexico City, and Tepic. The first week of Spring break I went to the Beach, to El ETC. in Nuevo Vallarta. I was there were my friends hanging out, and having lots of fun! I stayed there from 12 to like 6 O clock.
I got a very cool tan. Then I got back from the beach, and I went to my house, to get a shower and go to work to my dad's restaurant. Jaja I know what are you guys thinking.. uh yeah that's very fun.. well it is! I have a lot of fun working at the restaurant and meeting new people. The next day, I just went to my friends house and hang out with them. We went to the movies, to the beach, and on the nights I went to night clubs with my sister. We had a lot of fun. My sister Alejandra was here, she came from Guadalajara because shes studying at college right now, so I was very glad to see her here in Puerto Vallarta. We gossip and talk everyday and it was very fun.
On the next week, she went back to school, because in her university she only gets one week off. I missed her, that week because when she was here we spent the hole day in the beach, or in the movies etc. But I was glad that she came back that weekend because on the weekend we had a wedding. That week wasn't very interesting I just spent time with my family. I played with my little sister, and I hang out with my cousins and worked at my dad's restaurant. The only good thing of that weekend was that there were no more tourists, because the week before literally was CROWDED. If I look back to the week before, Vallarta was crowded seriously I'm not kidding.
The week of Easter I didn't get to see my friends from school, which I didnn't like much. That was probably one of the bad things of my break. Then when the weekend approach, my sister came back from Guadalajara. We had a wedding here in Puerto Vallarta. It was at the Westin Regina, and the party was ESPECTACULAR. It was the most amazing party i've ever gone. I had so much fun, I danced a lot with some friends and my family. There I met some new people, and that made my break to be wonderful. The next day it was Sunday, and I had to get ready because on Monday I was comming to School. My Spring Break, was one of the bests I've ever had, no doubt.

If I was stuck with not a single soul. I wouldn't handle being alone with not a single soul for 7 days. What I would probably do, is.. I would think of many different things to entertain myself. First I would learn how to play an instrument. I can have loads of fun by learning how to play a musical instrument such as guitar, drums, trumpet, etc. Second, I would find a hobby I like. such as knitting, writing, cards, making bracelets, etc. I think probably I would create the bracelets, they are way more fun then knitting. If I got way to bored by doing these activities I would do the hobby whenever you have nothing else to do. I would try to carry it around with me if it is portable. Then I would write a song in my mind.

Hum different tunes and then use my fingers as I was on a piano. Even, I would find something in the room and try to write lyrics about it. Then I would try to do what I never do. I would try stretching. The kind of stuff I would do before a long running race. I never practice any sport, so probably this would be a great idea. Last but not least I would Try to find the longest hair on my head. Maybe this sounds silly, but its actually very entertaining. What you need to do is to pull them out if you want to (you have 100,000 and you lose about 100 a day anyway).
But we should be aware to not pull out too many. As you may seen if I spent 7 days without seeing a soul I would probably become nuts.

Seriously I need to see souls in my life! Life its too boring without people surrounding you. When you are with people you can laugh, play, do many different jokes. Remember that being alone and not having friends its too boring. Also don't forget that if you are ever too bored, and you don;t have any clue of what do to, just read this, it will help you figure it out!

Final Flash Animation

8th Grade RotoBall from mistermark on Vimeo.

Creating my rotball was probably one of the harderst things I've ever experience. Flash is a very complicated and I had a very hard time doing my project. My projected started with the ball going everyone, then I catched it, and I started throwing the ball to many different places. I used motion tweens, which I thought i was very complicated. Also, I had trouble when I had to move the ball to different places. Although my background was pretty cool actually. It was a park with a slide and swings. If I could have change something it would probably be when I traced me in the video. I was in a bit rush, so it qas kind of messy. Also I would have put some music, to make it more interesting. Seriously I didn't liked this project it was too complicated.

Comment

This video, is great, we all did an awesome job!
At first we thought it was going to be a very challenging project. Then we figure out that it was very easy. Rodrigo did a great job. He was the first to finish, so he put all the videos together, and he added some music. I'm very proud of my classmates, they did an amazing job. They were very created. I was astonished when I looked at teh backgrounds. They were very creative. I'm very thankful with Mr. Mark. He did a wonderful job, at teaching all my classmates how to use Flash, in a very easy method.
Congratulations 8th great! I'm amazed!

Rotball

Creating my rotball was probably one of the harderst things I've ever experience. Flash is a very complicated and I had a very hard time doing my project.

Rootball Idea

I have many different and cool ideas for my project, but only one stands out.
My idea is about a girl who startes make bubblegum and then transforming it into a soccer ball. I'm going to do a trick in the bubble. I'm going to make the bubble to pop with some artifact and then, tranform it into teh soccer ball. I think my video is going to be creative. I still have many ideas, I don't really what thing I can do, but this one, is one of my best choices. Maybe by thurday I change my mind!
I hope my idea is a good one!

Technology

Now in days, technology has become a necesity for everyone. This video demonstrates it. It was very shocking. I was so amazed to see how tecnology has grown. It is soo cool to see how they are conecting physical world with digital World. Some people might think that I'm incorrect but seriously internet has changed our lifes. I think it will be very intersting to buy one of those apparatous . It is smoking all the weird and fantastic things you can do with that. It was also very interesting for me to see how people has change with technology. There are thousands and thousands of people who now stop doing certain things, because now technology is in their lifes and everything is less complicated. When I saw the video it was so surprising to me to see how only that little thing could do many things. Technology is like magic.
It helps us to do so many things, it acually help us to live so much better. I think humans could not survide without technology. Now in days technology is essential in our lifes. I'm 100 % possitive that every single person in the world needs technology for EVERYTHING they want to accomplish. It helps you to communicate with others, to search about things, it help us to learn. In the video, I learned that one men created this thing. The men was only trying to do a kind of a experiment but then he created a wonderful experiment! The men in the video says that we can make technology at our homes. Which first i found it unbeliveble. it its so true! If we try to get energy we can. He is trying to persuade people to make technology at their homes, which I desagree. If i was the one who created this cons I would probably sale it and make so much money. It is one of the greatest creations I ever seen. It totally blew my mind off. It was so intersting that he just started it as curiosity and then finalized it with a wonderful experiment. Technology is one of the best invetions in the entitre world and not any single human being can live without it.

Internet at home

This is a very interesting video about teenagers using internet. Internet has become an addictions for many people. Especially teenagers, they spend hours and hours online. Parents find this concern because they don't have any idea about what their kids are doing on Internet. This is a great example for people to follow. In the video we hear a variety of voices, form teachers, parents and students. Their stories are very shocking because we see that parents have really no idea what goes on with kids and the Internet. Theres so many stories about students who had many troubles with the famous social websties. Internet is a great source to communicate and we should know how to use it correctly.

Online Relationships-- Healthy or Unhealthy

Online relationships can be unhealthy or healthy? Well that really depends. I think that your reputation really matters. It is ok to have a online realtionship until you start to perjudict others. When people start to use social websties to hurt others people's feelings, that is an issue. No one has the right to make you feel you're not worth it. There has been some causes were people use facebook or other websites to attack people, and say bad things to them, which is a very coward way to do. I hate when people don't have the strength to come to your face and tell you what they want to tell you. An other issue happening in social websties is that people might get a wrong idea from you. They have been some issues were guys think girls are flirting with them... or that they are sluts. Which is horrible, because your reputation is involve and maybe your parents might judge you too. Online relationships can be healthy and also can be dangerous, we just need to be aware.

Parenting, Privacy and Control

Now in days we use many social websites to communicate with our friends family, etc. One example is facebook. Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, Parents are becoming very concern about their kids visiting social websites. Parents are forcing their kids to give them their personal passwords which I think this is an exaggeration. Why should parents get in their kids privacy. Teenagers are not that stupid, and know that when a stranger ask you were you lived obviously you're not gonna tell them. I know parents sometimes should be concern, but they have to remember that we like our privacy so as them. They also think in that way because they weren't grown up with the internet around them. They think that what we do is wrong. The truth is we just like to have fun. We like to communicate with others. I would be concern if an 8 year old boy or girl was on social websites because they are little and they don't know all the trouble outside. Social Media is a necessity and parents shouldn't exaggerate that much.

Entertainer

From all of my teachers in High School, I've never met a great entertainment like Miss Fenton is. Miss Fenton is great to entertain. I like the way she speaks. The context of her words. She is very direct and never hides what her thoughts and feelings are. She always tells you what I like his point on which we teach, because it is a sarcastic, and very strict but when he says his stuff instead of getting angry I have fun! She says things without lying, she always telling you how things are. Shes strict in terms of homework and writing, and the little tiny errors can make your grade go down. That's the only thing I don't like about her. I don't think theirs a negative consequence of expecting teachers to be entertaining, i think is great!

My Holidays

My Christmas Break was ok... I thought it was going to be way better but it was more of chilling. On Wed dec 15 was our last day of school. It was our posada, and the eight and seventh grades had to come to sing at the posada. We sang a Santa Claus song which caunted for our music grade. When the party finished I went back home and did my homework so I did`t had to worry to do my homework. The next day I went with my friends to Nuevo Vallarta because most of them were leaving Puerto Vallarta to spend christmas in other places. We stayed at Adri's house for a bit and then we went to the beach. The rest of the day i got back home and went to my dad's restaurant to work. The next day I went to my cousin's house, it was her 22nd birthay. We went to have some breakfast at a popular restaurant call "Rio" the food was great but what i enjoyed the most was watching Melissa's happy face.

On the weekend I just went to the movies with my cousins and hang out at their houses, and on the afternoons I went to work. That weekend was a bit relaxing. On Chirstmas night my family did a big party at my grandmas house. We did the wonderful giving exchange and had a delicious meal. I had a great time that night. The next day my parents and I went to eat to Kensao at Galerias and then we entered to the movies. We saw an interesting movie call Avatar. It was very interesting and had a lot of suspense. On that weekend I went out with some friends to Mandala and we had an amazing time! The next day my mom got a phone call from the hospital San Javier telling us that an uncle was very sick, that he had gotten a heart attack. Immediatly all of the family arrived to the hospital and we spend there for hours. My uncle was in intensive care. He spend there 2 days and on Monday he passed away.

It was a very emotive moment. I felt so terrible. I saw every family memeber so sad that I cried a lot. The funeral took two days long, because their sons were not in Mexico so we had to wait for them. On the 30 was the day they buried him. My mom spoke to me and then I felt much better. On the 31 some friends called us and ivited us to a party at their house in Nuevo Vallarta. We decided to go and we had a great time. Probably I think it was one of the best new years i've had. The next days i didn't did much. Just work and hang out with my friends and family. This vacations were ok.. I thought they were going to be better but I don't regret.
