I was really excited when I got to work with spreadsheets again. I decided to do the pet info activity. In this sheet there were multiple pets. This sheet was about population of pets. It was also about what pet was most popular. An example of a formula I wrote is =C6/B6. It is very cool how all you have to do is tap a cell and it will tell you it’s location. My row shows the average number of that pet in each house hold. I really enjoyed working with spreadsheets.
I created my spreadsheet this week by making a copy of the wellness log. I am learning so much about spread sheets. The way I write my formulas is I always start with an equals sign, then I click a cell and I put a operation sign in. I do the same thing with the other cells then it shows you all different data. You should use this data and apply it to your sheet. Another way you can use this is for a different type of log or other data. Spreadsheets are most commonly use to organize data usually numbers.
I thought the awnsers playground was challenging because there were so many codes you could make. The typing was also tricky. I think these are the main reasons why it was challenging for me. Also it was kind of cool how the finished project was interactive, meaning you got to fill in the awnsers.
I think that debugging is challenging because it has you put the code in order. One of the things that helped me figure it out was mentally mapping it out. It is kind of like if you take a puzzle and mix it up. The code is already their for you you just have to put it in the right order. I think debugging is one of my favorite things to do in coding.
Today I went to the playgrounds app and completed a few puzzles. Something I found throughout my experience in this app is that the order of the code really matters. The thing I found challenging about this was that it was a little tricky to type my own code. Overall this was one of my favorite projects.
In Christine’s project I really liked the animation. I liked it because she added motion to it. I thought that was really cool. The background was the cow that jumped over the moon. Christine was really carefully put together. The sound in this music video made it all come to life. Overall I really liked it.
I just finished my all about me project. I had a few different actors on my stage. Let me tell you about them. One of the things I chose to be on the stage was a snowman. I chose this because my favorite season is winter. The second thing I chose was a beach. I really like the beach because you can go swimming in the ocean. I also really like to bake. I put a cupcake on to symbolize baking. I put a cow because cows are my favorite animal. Overall this project was really fun and exciting.
In the video, an idea I found interesting was that they would be able to identify new viruses in only one hour. I thought this was interesting, because it shows that with the right technology we can improve medicine and other aspects of our daily lives. The machine can do this by having the person who is sick spit into a cup, and then the machine analyzes it by taking a database of all the known viruses and scanning it to see if it is a known virus, if not a new virus is discovered. Overall, computer technology can help improve a lot of things in our daily lives.
I am finished with my capstone project! I really enjoyed it because I got to learn a lot about Orca whales. Also I had to re record my script many times to get it to sound good. I decided to do a video for this project because I really enjoy working with the Adobe spark platform. Even though I was frustrated when I had to keep recording it was really worth the struggle. I’m super happy about how it came out. I also think my movie making skills improved a lot during this project and I definitely got better at using Adobe spark. At first my video was only about 2 minutes but I got it to be about 4 minutes. In addition I had a little trouble downloading but I finally got it to work. I am looking forward to sharing my final video because I feel really good about it. I think my final project was a success. Here is the link to my capstone:
I interviewed Pablo Cermeno. I think it went really well. I think this becauseI got a lot of new information I did not have before. At the beginning I was a bit nervous. I wondered if he would just repeat the same information I had already had. We did this on video call. It was a little glitchy. He deeply explained the answer to all of my questions. I think interviewing is a great way of getting some research. He also used specific vocabulary and explained what the words meant. Before capstone I did not know much about orca whales. I learned so many things not just about orcas but about what I could do better if I needed to interview someone else for a different project. He knew a lot of information about orcas. I don’t feel like I have to worry about not having enough information now!
