Try it Out Scenes

Penguin Jokes Reflection

A broadcast is a certain message that is sent through Scratch, activating the receiving scripts.  You would use timing in a conversation generally because realistically a person needs time to process what is being said to him/her and respond accordingly.

Reflection On Make a Block

I would explain "make a block" by saying that it is a way to customize what your sprite does.  Aside from the given block on the website, the programmer can create a blog that includes many actions rather than having just one.  I might use "make a block" simply when I want to have my sprite do a certain action/task.   

Try it Out Week 2

Debug it reflection

I used the trial and error process to solve the debugging.  The way that I would teach debugging is to use common sense.  If you think logically about what is occurring, then one can easily fix it.  If that method fails, trial and error is your best bet to find the issue in the code.   

debug it 1.5; move say "meow" and play sound "meow" in the repeat control block

Debug it 1.4; set rotation style motion command to left-right

debug it 1.3; add "wait_sec" between each rotation

debug it 1.2; adding the go to coordinates in the beginning

debug it 1.1 correction; add a green flag

Reflection on ten blocks challenge

This challenge really helped me to use my own judgment during the making of the program.  I learned that the ten blocks on the page we not in any particular order.  So, I had to move them around so the sprite is position properly and does what I wish it to do.  The ten block restraint help me think outside the box which assists me in creating new ideas.

Reflection on the Try it out

What was surprising?
I find it fascinating that there were so many options for movement of the sprite. You can do almost anything to the sprite.

Step By Step Activity:
It was helpful having a guide

When do you like having more structure:
I like having more structure for long and complicated projects

Less structure:
I like having less structure when we have simple and short projects

Creative:
I feel most creative when I am giving the sprite aesthetics.

HTML blog post

3 things I want to learn:

• I would like to learn more of the elements of HTML and what all the symbols, phrases, and abbreviations represent.  
•  I would also like to learn about the lang attribute because it plays a major role in HTML.
• I would like to explore more data types in HTML and learn what they consist of. 

2 things I learned HTML.

• I learned about some element content such as the first heading which is <h1> and a first paragraph could be <p>
• Empty element can be "closed" in the opening tag like this: <br />. 

1 thing I'm concerned about:

• Adding wrong information into the webpage.  

The code I chose was from http://itsdevins.blogspot.com/ blog.  His blog code is code, 0 becomes < and 1 becomes >.  



This is the translated text.

Answer: I am very happy today. 

My Binary Code

+ signs represent 1s
-  signs represent 0s

Binary Coded for "What up"

Why computers use Binary Video (321)

Things I learned:

-Analog Signal:A signal that is proportional to the value it represents

-Digital Signal: A signal that represents a  value as a series of discreet values or digits

-Base Numerals: Representing a  number using "n" digits

Things I didn't understand:
-The analog systems was confusing
-I did not understand how the sound waves worked when this topic was applied to the speaker of cell phones

Something I want to learn:
-I want to learn sound wave frequencies and how to separate them from each other.  

Eliza Post

1.  She was human like in the sense that she responded.

2.  I would change her code through a program and enter more questions in responses in her "memory"

3.  Computers are nothing without human intervention and programming.

4.  Yes, in someways because it provides knowledge to us humans.  However, it will never have opinions and feelings.  

GOOGLE

1.  The two CEO s both found a need and conquered it.  The need was a better search engine that was reliable.  Larry Paige and Sergey Brin founded Google which made it possible to find content easily. 

2.  Funding and resources were necessary and the CEOs did not have enough of that. 

3.  The key is to be innovative and produce something different than the rest of the crowd.

4.  They use the information on the internet and your key words to produce a search result.     

Yupik patterns

French Flag with my name: ALI

What I've Learned

• Mathematics is highly involved in these patterns 
• There is a lot of South American and African influence on carpet and patterns today
• The patterns were angle specific
• Symmetry, reflection, asymmetry, dilation, translation, and rotation are mainly scene in the art
• I learned a lot about reflections and enjoyed practicing them by graphing them myself.

 

Transformational Geometry and Iteration in Mangbetu Art

Mangbetu Art shows reflections, translations, rotations, and scaling designs.  The textiles made "are purely abstract designs that make use of multiples of 45 degrees."  This art shows the intelligence of the artist.                               

  This type of art was carved using the 45 degree technique.  Each head is larger than the one below it and faces the opposite direction.

Beads Remade

Cultural Backround

1.Native American bead work is well known for is beauty.  
2. Math will be a key concept used in this lesson especially linear math.  
3. Four fold symmetry is used in these designs.
4.The left side of the image is completely identical to the right side. 
5.Embroidery, Plains Indians, Pawnee Buffalo Hide Drum, Navajo rug
6. It is when the left side and right side of the image are completely identical.  
7. The tepee is made of four base pairs.  
 8.They are used in healing ceremonies.  An example is the medicine man healing the forces of nature by making sand paintings 
9. Reflection symmetry was widely used.  In the picture, a coat is present with the origin of the axes below the belly.
10. They are depicted in rows and columns which in math are the "x" and "y" axes. 
11. It was created before the Europeans arrived. 
12. Some examples of this bead work were used in recording messages and history.  

Communication

My main choice of communication is verbal contact.  In my opinion, whatever message I send will hopefully not be misinterpreted.  I think that texting social networking may not convey the message clearly and concise as one may want which is why verbal communication is the best.   

Scavenger Hunt Reflection

While searching for the items on the sheet, one of my strengths were how fast I could get the answer.  I think I could improve in the accuracy of my answers as well as actually reading the content instead of skimming it.  

Partner Reflection

          Working with my partner, T has been a privilege.  We both had divided the work evenly and accomplished the task efficiently.    

More Interests

Some of my favorite movies are Inception, Liam Neeson Films, and the Godfather.  My favorite books include Three Cups of Tea and The Kite Runner.  My favorite t.v shows include The Mindy Project.  My career interests include medicine in the field of surgery.
