The activities we’ve done on desmos simulates my imagination because it helps me see an equation on a graph and vision what I think it would look like before its generated. When the equation doesn’t make sense to me whither its a certain type of linear equation after typing it in, the website helps me understand and I can identify why it turns out that way. An example of something I’ve spent a lot of time learning about is function notation and how to graph them after solving for x.

Self Assessment
I explored mathematical ideas using technology when I typed in my equation to the demos website and had a visual representation of it in the form of a graph.
I analyzed data and used criteria to draw conclusions when I saw how the graph formulated the equation showing whether or not it was suitable for this assignment.
I justified my conclusion with evidence when I used my knowledge to examine the graph and wrote supporting details.
Podcast
- What were your books? Did you enjoy / hate / not care (for) them?
We all read the same book “Whirligig,” and we all had similar feelings towards the book. Since we all had the same interest, we decided to spice up the podcast to make it seem that one hated it, one really enjoyed it, and one wanted to get it over with.
2. How did you feel about working with a group? Did you make the work equal? Was it more trouble than a benefit?
I think working with a group made the job a lot more fun and felt like less work than if you were to do the whole thing by yourself.
3. What was your takeaway from the project?
I learned it’s harder to think on the spot than it seems so we probably should have finished more of our script sooner to make the podcast longer and fill up more time than it ended up being.
4. How was the use of technology in this project? Who did what when it came to the tech elements?
We ended up writing the script on a shared document and recording on my laptop while using the other ones for research purposes. We sent the videos that we liked best to my email so I could put the recordings together on iMovie.
Edward Scissorhands Storyboard
My Refection
I chose to do my comic on the scene where Edward gets jealous. The purpose of the scene was to have the happy town start to crack into what it really is. I think this is a very important part to the movie because it happens in the climax when the town starts to turn against Edward. You usually see Edward as a nice guy but just not very good at showing his emotions. So, this scene really stood out to me not only because of Edwards’s reaction but the film techniques. For example, in my interpretation, I added the scene where it dollies Edward down the hallway and does a pan to him standing in front of the mirror. I did so because it was personally my favorite effect throughout the whole movie. I think they done this for the cinematic element too draw your attention to what is going to happen next. This adaptation from film to visual novel taught me that there’s a lot of time and effort put into each scene, little things you don’t notice the first time unless you’re thinking about it.
My Digital Footprint
Creating a Positive Digital Footprint
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are checking up on my friends or playing online games with them. Sometimes I find a someone’s account of a friend I haven’t seen in awhile and I get in touch with them again.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presents include not oversharing my personal life on the Internet, talking only to people I know of and handing in my online school work on time.
By supporting my friends and family on their accomplishments posted or done online, I make a positive difference to my peers.

Media Fluency Reflection
Using the software reflection (Media Fluency)
A. How was the ease of access in building your flipbook, despite this being the free and limited version of the software?
I think it was pretty easy to use.
B. Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment?
Yes
C. What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” American Revolution flipbook?
HISTORY Canada | History – Videos, TV Schedule & Watch Full Episodes
American Revolution Figures – Famous Historical Leaders – Biography
D. Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Did you use another software instead? Explain.
I didn’t use another software but if I did I probably would’ve used power point and did the cards on different slides.
My Food Experience
My most memorable food experience was the Mac And Cheese Off . I was in unit black and we wanted to do something creative. So we thought of adding curry and it really payed off. We added peppers, onions and broccoli to the mix to make it more colorful and bring it together with another food group. We were a little scared of how it would turn out but it ended up looking great and tasting delicious. And our top tear name to pull it all off was “Scurry For Your Mac and Curry!” And guess who ended up winning, drum roll please… you guessed it black group!! As we should ’cause it was bomb.
Technology & Wellbeing Refection
Technology stresses me out but it also helps me cope. Social media makes me stressed thinking if I don’t look right away I’ll miss it, like if a friend texts me to hang and I don’t see the message. By the time I do they got other plans, making me feel I need to be on my phone more often. On apps like TikTok make me insecure about the way I look.
With all the bad there is good too, I find it easier to do my homework on the computer. And YouTube is useful if you need help with something, songs and my favorite youtuber David Dobrik always keeps me entertained. TikTok and Instagram finds a way to make me laugh. Snapchat I use the most to keep in contact with my friends when were not together.
About Me
My name is Sydney, I’m a lacrosse player. I’ve been playing for 7 years, but lacrosse is not the only thing I enjoy doing. I love music! Almost all genres, I have 16 playlists with over 300 songs on most of them. My friends and family also mean a lot to me. I also really like animals. I have a dog, a bird, fish and I’m getting a puppy soon!
I just stared high school so I don’t know what the courses are gonna be like. Usually my favorite is English because I like writing, it comes easier to me than other subjects. The last few weeks of summer I had my older friend tooter me in math because its not one of my strengths. I try my best to stay on task because I learn best when I’m focused.
Website
This is my favorite website because its a way I can contact my friends when we’re not together and most people I know have it.
Video
The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air is my favorite show. I barley watch tv and I’ve already re-watched it!

This is my favorite picture at the moment because It’s of me and my puppy. I’m really excited for her to come home!
