Challenges

The whole class made a mash up with different sounds in audacity. We mixed a some different sounds like animals, hurricanes, people talking and much more. Some of the mash ups sounded very weird but others sounded really good such as Elena's. On the other hand, I had some challenges doing this amazing project. One of my challenges was to make all the sounds rhyme and finding specific sounds that I liked. Also, another challenge was to make all the mash-up last one minute because at the beginning I just had few sounds and was very short. More over, if I could change something if I could, I would change most everything because I did it till the last minute. So if I could change something it will be to organize my self and give time to finish my project. At last, I will give me more time to find better sounds for my mash-up because most of my sounds were really bad. In brief, in my opinion I could done it better because I did it really bad.

Mash-up

A mash-up is a composition created by two or more songs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYQJ_SIVUVE&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzvaWD7K1Iw&feature=related. A good mash-up is the one that contains different types of songs (two or more) which can create the mash-up entirely unique and fun. A good mash-up has to contain songs that can be totally different but could make a good mix with them. Also, a good mash-up has to tell kind of like a story through the whole composition. On the other hand, what makes a bad mash-up is : not having at least two songs and those ones being boring. A good mash-up needs to be entertaining and fun ,so it'll be able to be played at events or parties and the people who hear it get satisfied with it.
I found a site that helps me how to improve my mash-up or how to make a mash-up. http://hubpages.com/hub/5-Tips-for-Creating-Mash-Up-Music.
In my opinion mash-up artists are true musicians. They made music from different songs that were created by true musicians and that's why it makes mash-up artists into real musicians. Their music is technically modernized as it was before. Also, they are true musicians because eventhough the songs have the same lyrics , the mash-up artists job is to get all those songs in a different order , get them mixed and finally, created a entirely different song. There were some of mash-up artists that I had been hearing to like, OriginalDjCK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08D9eZ63pQ8&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_7rBBltZ8Y&feature=fvw.

Artifact of the Future Robotic Snake

artifact of the Future 3 paragraphs

The process I went through on the Future Artifact project was kind of hard, but it was worth. First , I had to search in google for a cool snake, although it was kind of difficult because I already had one in mind. Then, I had to search for mechanical objects in order to make the robotic snake. It took me hours to find the objects that could fit in my snake. Right after that, I learned to make the images smaller and duplicate them; that made my life easier and less harder. In addition, I finished putting the mechanical parts into the snake so it would like a robotic snake. At last, I did the finally touches and added some explanation in it, so the people would know how would it be needed in a future.

In my opinion , I thought this artifact was really good and original. I had never seen a water animal in my life. It was creative and well done. The thing I like about this project was that she followed the tutorials and make it look like if that animal was made of water. The photoshop skill that she made in this project was brushing the image.

I really like this artifact. I don't think this project would be invented in a future , because it is something natural so , it might be created in a future naturally. If it exists in a future I would definetely think about buying it. It's awesome. I don't think it would change the person's life who created this artifact.

Artifact from the future

Im going to be creating a Robotic Snake. I chose to create that artifact because it would be really usuable in a future. Also, this robotic snake would be create with different skills, such as : interacting with different people, it will talk , and much more. My vision for this invention is that this robotic snake would be interacting with its owner, running from side to side and getting to perform different things.

Family Reunion

A year ago, my family planned to have a family reunion. My whole family was there. It was the first time we gather all my family counting my mom's and dad's family. We gathered to celebrate christmas. We all had a wonderful time and shared lots of adventures that they had been through long time ago. It was really fun because I had the opportunity to meet some of my family members that I didn't know yet. It was so much fun because all my family members were having such a great time.

Family frames

I choose 4 different types of frames. I classified the frames by generation. I choose a brown one for the first generation which is my two sisters & I because it seem really fancy and elegant. Then , I choose a flower one for the next generation because it was one of my favorites and it was really easy to put the heads on. In addition, I choose a black one for the third generation because there were fewer members of my family and so I didn't have an specific idea of how I wanted the frames to be. Finally , I choose a yellow one for the fourth generation because the frames were similar to the first generation.

Family tree

This tree means a lot to me just because the fact that i am going to be putting some pictures of all my family that I love the most . In fact it also, has a beautiful sunset and you can admired all the great view just by looking at the picture. Also, I chose this picture because I wanted a tree that could shine just as my beautiful family does. Besides that, there is something in this tree that I really like and it doesn't look like any other so that's what makes it more original.

"Joy"

First of all, what I just did in my summer vacations was that I went to Mexico , Santa Fe, and spent 3 weeks there. I spent a great time with my cousins and uncles , it was great because every day we went shopping to most of malls. Then, for my little sister's birthday , my dad gave her a ticket for going to see Disney on Ice with all of us. Besides that, My birthday was also coming so , my parents gave me some presents and a dinner with some of my friends. After that, we went to guadalajara and spent several weeks there with my brother who was going to start college there. Besides that, it was kind of hard saying goodbye because he wasn't going to have a lot of vacation time . Although at the same time we were proud of him. Finally, I got back to Vallarta and went to the beach most of the days.

If I had something to do to my self , definetely would be to travel along with my best friends or my older sister to a great Island or any place far away from Mexico. It would be absolutely great !. Spending all the time with persons that were always there supporting me anytime.Also, another thing I would do for my self would be going shopping in a place where there's the best stores in the world. I asure you it would be a dream came true. Besides that, another thing that I would like to do for myself would be buying a professional camera and get to go to Fiji. Then, I could take great pictures and then selling them. Finally, making it bussiness.

I have several parts of me that make me unique and special. One of the things that make me special is that even if I'm in a really bad mood I'm still being nice to others. There are sometimes were I'm just really sad .Although I try not to translate that mood to others. Also, a second thing that makes me special is that I'm really funny and sweet to all my friends and even strangers. Finally, I always try to do things that makes me special , sweet and entertaining.

Sick of Map Testing

Last week we finished MAP testing and I have to say that it went pretty good. I passed all the tests, although it was a tough time sitting like an hour just doing the test. It was my second time doing it and have to say that it is really frustrating because you don't know what they will ask you to do or resolved. Also, I don't like very much MAP testing , you have to deal with some hard questions they ask you and get a higher score than the one you got before. In addition, in my opinion I could done better than I did before because I have learned many things. Also, sometimes you don't get to finish the test and get a bit nervous , some people start guessing the answers and finally get a low score. On the other hand, there's some benefits that you get to spend while doing map testing like; wasting classes and if you finish earlier the test you can hear music or do homework from other classes.

PowerPoint

One day there was a person who tried to make a PowerPoint presentation explaining a type of disease in Civics class although we couldn't understand very well because of the Spelling mistakes. It was hard to understand it, there were misspelling mistakes that weren't pretty clear. Also, when you do a presentation you have to check it first. In Addition, this person wasn't reading every word or explaining every word from the presentation and that's a very important fact you should make in every slide. On the other hand, this person didn't put bullet points to explain each idea from the topic. Also, there were many slides which a lot information that couldn't be explain very well. Finally, we couldn't read pretty well the font. All in all, when you make a PowerPoint presentation you have to put all this requirements so the presentation won't be confusing.

Earth Day Evaluations

Yesterday I learned many things by evaluating the videos. First of all, the 8th grader's video was really good and they have many creative pictures, although the audio wasn't that good. Also, when I evaluated the 12th grader's video was pretty cool, the audio matched with the video in any specific thing. All in all, by evaluating all those videos make me realized that I could change my video in some things. First of all, I would try to remove my last names, so I could get a good mark in. Then, I could get a track for my song, so It matched. Also, I would try to take better pictures, so that could make it more creative and not too simple. Finally, I would try to make my song even longer(because I wrote the lyrics) and so for that reason It could make my video even longer.

8th Grade Video

Eighth grader's animation video was amazing. They did a great job in creating the video. It was a really entertaining and really organized. You can appreciate all the effort that they put in the video.
Also, I enjoyed the first part because the background and the people movements were fantastic. It was really creative how everybody showed their own personality and attitude.The music was good because it was compatible with the video.When the 8th graders passed the ball or did any movement , they did to the rhythm of the music. Third, It was incredible how the color and the images of the background changed everytime that the person moved or did any other thing. All in All, the 8th graders did a fantastic job, Congratulations!

49, What do you do on a rainy day?

There are many things I do on a rainy day, although it depends in where I'am in that moment.I might be in school, at home or just in another place. If I were at school , I wouldn't liked it at all because you are full of water and washing all your books and etc. Also, I don't like it because the climate is so weird and dry , that really doesn't make my day and make me angry at the same time. On the other hand, I would just conform with the climate and focuss on what I'm going to school, not just be angry with my friends because of the weather.

Another thing that I do on a rainy day when I'm at home , of course would be try to not go out and just stay at home, watching rain by the window. Not only that, but I may invite some friends to enjoy it even more. Although I like to stay at home when its a rainy day , I might change my mind and invite them to go out. I would put my bathingsuit and get into the pool. It would be awesome and an unforgetable day.

On the other hand, if I were in other place out of my house, I wouldn't enjoy it that much because I might be a little rush but it depends. All in All I will always do many things on a rainy day and try to enjoy them.

Sixth Sense Project

This new technology is a new way of making your life easier and entertain. It's amazing , how this new technology can do different things at the same time and on any material, such as: watching movies,playing computer games, searching for any kind of information and much more.Also, it's available any kind of people as me. I definetaly would like to have that cool technology because I wouldn't need a computer to search for something. Also, I could have the opportunity to play a videogame in any place with any thing.

In my opinion, I think the greatest things about this technology is that you can do anything without needing a computer or other technology.Also, it's easier and comfortable to you on finding and playing video games , no matter where you are. However, this new technology have their greatest limitations. One of them, is that it limitates your communication between your friends or your family. Also, it could make you really adictic to that technology.For that reason, you need to put limitations when you are using this new technology.

When he mention about the open source; he means that is the used by the Open source Initiative to determine whether or not a software license can be considered open source.
This consists in different ideas. First, an open source can be when you can get into different
sites . Also do different activities at the same time with this new technology.

Winter Break

When the vacations started I just thought about sleep more , 2 weeks later my sister came to visit I was really excited about it and we started to planned a lot of things . On the first days we went to the theater and rent movies to watched them in our house,or just doing home stuff. The second day it was going to be the Birthday of one of my best friends so I just went really fast to gave her a hug because I had friends in my house waiting for me.
After all that Christmas was going come and we were all excited about it because we were going to received all our Christmas presents and my little sister was even more excited because It was the second time that she was going to received a present from Santa Claus. Then we celebrated Christmas in the house of parents friend; it was really fun but at the same time there were to many adults and just a few young people.
On the 26th my sister's boyfriend came to visit her and to stayed for new year. It was the first time that I met him in person; he was a really good person. He took us to every place that we told him and we took him to the places that he didn't know because it was the second time that we came to Puerto Vallarta.
On the 31st, we celebrated New Year in our house with all the family that came from Mexico city, and my sister's boyfriend cooked dinner for us because he is in College studying cooking , so my parents gave the opportunity to cooked for New year. We all had a great time although I slept really early.
Days later , friends from Mexico city came and we had a reunion in my house , and then we went to the malecon at night but we had to get to our house at 12 pm because my friend was going to left Puerto Vallarta the next day.
