BLOG #3 – Reflection

I have experienced a lot of things while making my Capstone.

I learned that I am not the best researcher. I sometimes get bored researching and take breaks. I also learned that I like ONLY researching about things I LIKE. For example, Video Games.

Some of the hardest things about Capstone is finding images. You need to find a large image, and an image you can use because of rights. Another hard thing about Capstone is recording. Since I am doing my project on WeVideo, I am having a lot of trouble trying to fit recordings 4-6 seconds and redoing recordings because the recording ends up glitching or repeating words when I did not.

I had a lot of fun and experience making/doing my project and researching about video games. I found about stuff I did not even know about!

For instance, I did not know about William Higinbotham, the creator of Tennis for two. I also didn’t know much about computer technology and features for video games.

Overall, I had a very fun time learning about my Capstone. If you want more info, go to my video linked below.

“Task Definition” (Capstone Post #1)

Lately, I have been working on a project named “Capstone.” There have been due dates the past week but then we had to come up with a topic and a question. My topic is coding video games and my question is,  “What are the new technologies for video games and how do they impact performance?” So far, I am having fun. I just need to find more resources. Can’t wait to study more about this topic.

Immigration Reflection

I really liked doing this project. I had a nice time learning about my Father, Froilan Cajayon Mendoza and why he came to America. The most challenging part was fitting my audio in my WeVideo pictures and videos. When I recorded my lines, it didn’t fit into the picture or video. Overall, I had a fun time.

Blog Post #2 (My Constitution Project Research)

Researching was kind of hard and also kind of fun. I learned that President Trump is a great example of a person who has acquired a great deal of power being the president of America. He believes in the “American Dream,” yet disregards other countries of their cultures and dreams. He had the power and now he wants it back. Another thing is it is kind of hard finding the information I want on sites. I will post again on February 5th.

Should the Electoral College be Changed?

I think the Electoral College is unfair and should be changed because it results to a president that people don’t want.

An example of this is the president that people want can win the popular vote, but still lose because he/she failed to get 270 electoral votes. This means that the losing candidate may have gained more than 50% of the ballets cast by voters. But he/she still lost because that he/she failed to gain 270 of the electoral votes. Also, there is an advantage when winning big states because you get more votes because of it.

With proven facts I found on a website, this tells me that the Electoral College isn’t as fair. I learned that the president can still lose even though the president wins the popular vote. I hope you enjoyed why I think the Electoral College isn’t that fair. Bye.

Who I hope wins the election

I want Joe Biden, Democrat, to win the election. One of the reasons why I want Joe Biden to win the election is because he wants to help the businesses to safely reopen. Because of coronavirus, millions of people lost their jobs because of it. When the businesses safely reopen, people can get their jobs back. Once they get their jobs back, they can feed their families and have the money to survive.

Another reason why I think Joe Biden should win the election is because he says that he wants to make sure all students have access to access to high quality educational opportunities from preschool through college. He also said that he wants to make tuition at public colleges and universities free for many families.

These are 2 reasons why I want Joe Biden to win the election. Hopefully, you will agree with me and vote Joe Biden for our president if your old enough. If he wins, I bet he will do what he promised to do if he was president. I hope you enjoyed this short post about me writing about why I hope Joe Biden wins. Bye.
