Funny, weird, random, interesting, and happy
A website is being sold, for CarrerBuilder. The audience is angry adults who hate their work lives.
It targets not wealthy people, because it said wealthy people are always happy and its not time. They're not realistic because not all wealthy people are happy, and I have heard many wealthy people have committed suicide because of being unhappy.

Photo Minipulation
For my photo manipulation I went on to fotoflexer.com, and first I put in a picture/animation of a sheep. Then I used a swirly tool to make the buildings look distorted. I then used the grow tool, which makes whatever it touches grow in size. For the whole photo I put the picture in colored pencil, which is a special effect you can do to make it look like the picture was drawn in colored pencil and colored in colored pencil. I really liked the swirly tool because it was really easy and fun because it distorted the buildings very weirdly. I also like the animation of the sheep. I thought it was so sweet and cute. Overall I liked foto flexer much better than photoshop or any of the others.

Video Game Laws
I do agree with the Video Game Law article, I think minors shouldn't be able to buy violent video games, unless their parents agree to it. I think violent video games influence kids to do this in reality and they think it's fun. They don't think they will get caught or in trouble like the video game, but they will. Movies, books, even Cd's have parental guidance signs on them and even on some movies, books, and Cd's minors can't buy it. So what's the difference between movies and video games? Video games are worse, because you're actually controlling the person who's blowing people up and shooting them. Unlike in movies where you just watch. So I think this law should be put in effect so minors don't have such an influence on violence.

Reflection About Scratch
In Scratch I created many different and cool projects. But my favorite one to create was my first project and it was a parody of the new movie Avatar. I haven't seen the movie but to me it doesn't look like a movie I would ever want to see. Anyway I created this parody in scratch using many different tools and scripts. I took 2 different Sprites and colored them blue. Making this project was really fun but also frustrating. Since the Sprites would be talking to each other I had to have the right timing for everything. From moving at the right time to having one of the sprites die at the right time. I did have some trouble with that but other than timing Scratch was pretty easy to comprehend and use. I had never used Scratch before so I used many different tools, such as some of the scripts for example, forever if, forever, when clicked, stop all, and many more. I tried using Pen too, but that got very confusing and difficult for one of my projects and in the end I was not able to use it. There are many tools in Scratch that I still haven't used. But I know I'll be exploring Scratch more and I will want to use those tools I haven't used before. In my Avatar project I found wait how many seconds was my most helpful because it had the Sprites wait a certain amount of seconds before saying or doing anything. And it was perfect to get my animation to work right. Overall I really liked Scratch and I can't wait to use it more.

Defintions of ELs
Innovation, innovation is a new way to use or do something. For example: eating peas with a fork instead of a spoon, I know most people like to eat peas
with a spoon. But a new way to eat peas is with a fork.

Collaboration, collaboration is when two or more people come together to share ideas and either create a project or take each others idea's and make something with them. Or create something new or make a thing better. For example two people had the idea to mix dog breeds, like the poodle and the labador, or the golden retriever and the poodle. They decided on each others idea's and came up with a very cute dog.

Information fluency, information fluency is when new technology is used to help kids or new generations to learn more efficintley. For example the computer, instead of looking up information in a book which takes too much time. Students now use the internet to find information quickly and reliable.

Digital Citizenship, digital citizenship is a type of concept to help older generations teach the newer generations how to interact on the internet and with newer technology appropreitly. For example to not say mean things on Facebook or MySpace or anything like that.
http://www.iupui.edu/~anthpm/facebook-logo.jpgTechnology Operations and Concepts, technology operations and concepts is the understanding of the skills needed and the concepts of technology. For example teachers now a days have started to use more technology and teaching kids how to use it and understand it, such as Blogger. Mrs. Casey in 8th grade taught the 8th grade science class how to blog on Blogger to get out our information that we have learned.
