Bucket List Reflection

For this project we had to create a bucket list. It had to contain ten things I wanted to see, do, or accomplish in my lifetime. Although there were many steps I had to take to complete this project, I followed them, and I am proud. The first step was to figure out ten things to put on my list, three of which had to be places out of the country. After getting the ten things I had to find four interesting facts about them and record the URL's from the Website in which I found them. Next I had to find 2-4 pictures that related to my topic and I also had to record the URL's for them. Meanwhile, I had to create and record a script I put together, each topic having one paragraph. After gathering all of the pictures, URL's, and recordings I could finally put together my movie. In the program Movie Maker I had to add all of the thirty pictures I found and I had to put the corresponding recordings with them. After putting it all together and making it sound like a movie I had to add the credits tot he end, which are the URL's. There are three URL pages: resources, music, and pictures. Then I went to the Website Soundzabound and found a recoding to play during the creditd, put it in, and my movie was finnished.
I liked a lot about the project. I liked the fact that we could express ourselves and choose what we wanted to have on out list. I also enjoyed watching all of my hard work come together to form my movie.
The only thing I honestly found hard about this project was the length of the movie. The movie was supposed to be 3-5 minutes long, but mine ended up being 8 minutes long.
I could use a digital story for other projects such as, book projects. I am glad I have learned how to do all of this. I will definitely use these skills in the future.

Bucket List

Wordle story.

I woke up with a huge crash, BANG! I looked around frantically, but I could see nothing. I tried so hard to see, but only darkness. I spoke, “Who’s there?” No answer, I got out of bed. I flipped the light switch on and was horrified to see what was no more. Half of my house was completely obliterated. There was nothing there but a little green creature with one big eyeball. IT’S AN ALIEN! It was coming closer….and closer… and closer…and then it was right in front in of my face and it……. FARTED! It smelled so bad I need a gas mask to survive it. My Cow died and the alien ran out of the room. I ran after him and was chasing him with forks. My goal was to stab his eyeball out and keep it as a souvenir, because they were pretty and I loved to collect eyeballs. I pushed the alien down the stairs and tried to wrestle him so I could get a hold of his eyeball. The alien fought back but I took a big spoon and I scooped out his pretty, juicy eyeball and sealed them safely in my eye collecting jar. The alien freak out he was so mad that I took his eyeballs but I don’t know why, I think he was pretty attractive that way. I mean, I would date him. I think the alien knew that I think he was cute that way because he started flirting with me. So I was like, “Nuh uh. I am not that easy.” So then I slapped the disgusting vermin with my purse and he died. I went back up into my room and fell asleep, only to wake up from my horrible nightmare.

Reflection over first lady project

I have learned so much about Michelle Obama and the Obama family after doing this project. I did not know most of the information i discovered and was happy to do so. It makes me happy to think of what a great first lady this country is privileged to have. She is trying to make this country better one step at a time and all we need to do is let her take the wheel.

Michelle Obama Podcast

Quiz and what I found when I Googled my name.

I took the Digital Footprint quiz and my score was: 19 points -- You’re a Rising star! (or “Digital Weaver”)

When I Googled my name (Blake Lajiness) I found a couple pictures of me and my family that I had previously uploaded to my Google+ account. I also discovered a lot of my social media accounts such as, Facebook, Twitter, Diigo, Pinterest, Youtube, and Google+.

Reflection

Over the last month I have learned so much in online experience class. There are tools and websites that I did not even know existed. I plan on using some of these websites for the rest of my high school career. The website Quizlet will be especially helpful when I have big tests coming up because I can make flash cards to study. I am very excited to have discovered so many websites and tools I can actually use. I also like the website Diigo because I can bookmark any website I want and have access to it anytime I want. Learning about bullying in this class has has really opened my eyes about the topic; I have realized how serious the matter is. Although a lot of school's and teacher's are cracking down on bullying, sadly, it still goes on in and out of school. Some people think that bullying can only take place in public places but that is very untrue. Bullying can follow you to the safety of your own home through cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is becoming a huge issue worldwide. Now that electronics have grown and developed so much almost everyone has some access to them and with that comes trouble. Often times bullies bully because they feel self-conscious about themselves, so they take it out on someone else. Other things I have learned about in computer's class are netiquette, identity theft, and online safety. It is truly honoring to be enlightened with all of this information.

A special place in my heart for a special girl.

Although it has been a while since she has passed Kelsey still has a place in heart and always will. I will never forget the night I found out, I was lying in bed and my friend texted me and told me the news. At first I didn't believe it, I sat there and tried to let it sink in, but I just wouldn't believe it. I saw her the Friday before, she always said hi to me when I passed her in the halls, in the morning. It was so hard to believe that I would never see her again. The previous year's (7th and 8th grade) we became good, close, friends, and I never thought I would lose her so abruptly. I do believe the saying "You do not know what you have until it is gone" is true, after experiencing this terrible event. I sat right next to her in computer's class last year and we always helped each other out, when we needed it. She was always there for me whenever I needed her, she was the best. Today as I looked in my pencil case i saw this little piece of paper. I read it and almost cried. It was from Kelsey-- "Blake love's Kelsey so much <3." Those words are definitely true, and always will be. I was also surprised I had even kept that, because she wrote it for me last year. Kelsey I will always love you and you will always have a special place in my heart :) R.I.P Kelsey Koepfler-- 9/21/13.

Identity theft scenarios.

One day, while Alejandro is doing his tax return he remember's he has to go to Taco Bell to pick up dinner for his unusually large family. After he finished with his paper work he threw away all of his information, not knowing the dire consequences that would come in the near future. On his way out of the house Alejandro decided to take the trash out to the dumpster. Whilst Alejandro was gone purchasing his families dinner, a crook, who had been watching him for a while, decided to finally make his move. He slithered over to the dumpster, and hopped in. It did not take him long to find just what he was looking for: Social Security number, and all of his credit card information. One month later, when Alejandro decided to check his credit report he was shocked to find charges on there that he had he could not recall; and so the nightmare began.

Once upon a time there was a man named Channing. It was February, tax month, and he was doing his taxes. After a while he got bored, but knew he had to finish. After a while he finished, so he went to the backyard to tan. On the way out he decided to take out the trash, which in fact had all of his credit card information inside. While he was tanning he listened to scream-o music. Little did he know a crook was going to come and steal his information and cause a huge headache.

Michelle Brown testimony.

After reading Michelle Brown's testimony I was shocked at how well it followed the movie. Usually movies do not follow stories or books very well, but this one did. I was also shocked that so many things were changed from the testimony to the movie. Personally identity theft was just dirt swept under the rug, until Michelle came along. When her testimony came along everything changed. After her case went trough the court the put a law into place that would give identity thief's a more harsh punishment. I believe this case did more good than bad. Now, because of Michelle Brown this world will be a better place.
