4 Slides (Powerpoint) #8

I have learned that PowerPoint need to be kept simple and presented in that way also. PowerPoint are used to make slides, handouts, outlines, and notes. We designed four slides about technology. I learned about color, font, and fill color. Auto Shapes were also used. I used them in slide #3. We used a template at the end. Templates are used to add color design backgrounds to a PowerPoint. This means that PowerPoint backgrounds should be consistent. If the background is different each slide the PowerPoint will be very complex. Overall,  the PowerPoint was very simple and easy to do.

Wordle #5


Using blogger was pretty easy. Everything on the page is yours, and is controlled by you. Anyone can view you page and comment. It was fairly easy, and there are many new topics everyday. We had to create a wordle, and six other post containing other bloggers in the class. Blogging can be used to get information out to anyone. In this case we used blogging to get information to other classmates. Classmates are able to view other blogs. Then comment on what they need to improve. Overall, blogging was simple, but challenging at the same time.

  • Background Design •
  •  2 Comments• Color Contrast—Fontstyle/ Font Color• Each
  • Post 10-15 sentences • Eastern Time Zone• Non-materials must deleted

Good Or Bad Design #3



A bad web design contains elements that will be quite difficult for the reader to understand. For example, text on the design will be to small. Paragraphs are all in CAPS or in italic. Links are also a problem in bad web designing. Dead links (links that do not work anymore), causes issue. Links that are not underlined makes browsing unclear. Also, cluttered pages with unnecessary things makes the page to big. Ultimately, making the user scroll sideways, (instead of up and down). On the other hand, a good web design contains easy, legible, elements and text. The background is not too flashy, and there is a site map. My blog should have underlined links and easy-to-read text. So, the page looks more organized and less cluttered.

Wind Turbine #2


A wind turbine is good machine for the environment. They come big and small. Wind turbines use wind energy and convert it to mechanical energy. Then people use it for many uses. We created a wind turbine and we learned alot. A wind turbine needs a certain amount of energy to produce energy. Our wind turbine needed to generate at least .1 about of energy. Then we connected a light to see if it illuminated. The wind turbine project was a challenging activity. The cuts and folds took precision, and that determined how your wind turbine turned out. The wind turbine comes out of the manufacturing technology sector, because they make the turbine in a factory, but not in a mass production way.
