GLOBALORIA

Hi my name is Jennifer Gonzalez and I am a student that is attending a school called East Austin College Prep Academy EACPA for short and for the last 2 years that I have been attending this school I have figured out that our school is the only school in the whole State that has this program that is called GLOBALORIA. Well this program is all about creating new awesome things in the computer to be more specific a program called FLASH. This is another program that is a way of creating allot of new things. For example over the year we have created allot of things in flash, things that move up,down,right or left even things that don't move but still look cool sometimes even buttons that you push and take you top another place in your game .With these programs we can create allot of amazing things.We use layers,buttons,create shapes and convert them into symbols and we can do much more. Sometimes it is very hard to understand what our teacher means but we help each other to figure out .And as you can see at the top I gave a example of how you mostly use flash for me it is pretty easy and fun once you get it and you feel very good once you finish and see that it came out right.Also once you finish you go to your WIKI and upload it and see the most amazing and awesome thing that you made .

FLASH
Flash is a programming method that produces streaming animation on websites. It is often used to create interactive and visually appealing sweepstakes. Flash sweepstakes usually look more glitzy, but do not work well with form-filler programs.
SWF FILE
SWF is a partially open file format for multimedia and especially vector graphics developed by Adobe formerly Macromedia. Intended to be small enough for publication on the web, SWF files can contain animations or applets of varying degrees of interactivity and function. SWF is also sometimes used for creating animated display graphics and menus for DVD movies, and television commercials.

Working with flash

When I started to program flash I got frustrated because some of the things that we were learning I did not understand the video or my teacher was going to fast and I got frustrated because I want to get the projects that I do right not wrong. And one of the things was the codes and were we needed to go paste it on our wiki .

When I started to work with flash the hardest thing was to keep up. I now that My teacher needs to go fast because of the time and because some students have already ahead of everybody else and they need the other instructions to keep going.But I would really appreciate if our teacher could go just a little more slower and that way she would not have eny problems with who is ahead and who is still not finished with the first step.

When it comes to coding I think it is important because that way when you want to upload something the code will be there when you need it and not have to go were you had problems going to . I also think that it is good to have your codes because when you want or need to paste something when you put the codes in there your work would be perfect for you.

Now that I am going to have more experience with all the uploads and all that stuff about flash I think that I will become a flash expert will more practice when it comes to listening and keeping up.

When there is distraction in the class I do get distracted because my teacher has to be telling them to sit down and everyone starts screaming and running everywhere and that distracts me a lot sometimes.I would like for my teacher for punishment for getting 3 warnings and still doing the same thing they should get detention like always.

I think that when we watch a tutorial video it helps me a little because we have to pause it to understand what the speaker is saying and I have problems listening to my teacher sometimes so it is even harder to listen to a tutorial. For me I think it is easier to let my teacher teach the lesson instead of listening it of the tutorial.

In the future I now that this will help me and I will always create new things with flash so I wont forget how wonderful and not hard flash is. I am also planning to make a tutorial video for kids that were my age now.

Shannon sulllivan

Yesterday we go a visit from Ms. Shannon Sullivan. She is one of the people that work on the global oria team. She came to show us new skills to do on our wiki page and I had allot of fun .One of the things that she showed us was to upload our flash drawings to our wiki. There were allot of steps that you had to do before you could upload them but it was easier than I thought .

I thought that It would have to take about 2 days to finish because some people would not understand.She was going to teach us how to make a link but we ran out of time but we did learn it just with Ms.miller. It was a asome experience to work with the people who provided besides the school the global oria program.She was very patient with us and was very nice. I liked how she was explaining and enjoyed her visit and hope she comes back some other day.

Drawing in flash

The first time that I started to use flash and draw in it I felt really good because I new that I was going to achieve something new . I started to use skills that I have never used before for example I started to use flash to make circles,stars,polygons and more other things that I have never heard of or even seen until this day which is six grade.Since I have started on this drawing in flash assignment I have had alot of fun doing this because you get to do sometimes your own things like we had to draw our own little house .We could decorated hpw ever we wnt it was the funnest time that I HAD IN TECHNOLOGY. I have had more times in wich we had to use flash in our game that we are doing about our drug topic.Our drug topic air cuality or pollution in our air.We have been getting and brain storming ideas to get our own thing and finish it all ready.we already finished our flash drawings and upload them to our wiki. I am very happy that I achieved this and hope to be drawing in flash agien.

February 23 2010 Snow

Today February 23 2010 Austin had a enormous snow wonderland it was the best day ever I have never or have seen snow this big and white it was the best day ever we were all throwing snowballs everywhere it was falling fast and was hitting hard I have never seen this much snow since I was in Oklahoma where the snow is powerful there . But to see snow in Texas this is the best time I have ever had. Snow is the best thing about the cold weather and it did not rain in Xmas even that I really wanted it to snow and now my dream has come true snow on February. I will always remember this day the snowy day this beautiful day.Snow in East Austin College Prep on a school this place is lucky because now other place where I have been in school or at home or anywhere it has never snowed this much it is a miracle and I would love to repeat this day again.

Last weeks progess

I have always been impressed of how much work my team has done or the people that Ms miller put me in . I have had alot of cool things with my team and they are really good friends .My team mates are (Miguel,Macy,Delaney,Daniel and Brianna)and me I have had alot of fun and I am hoping that I really get done alot of work and get really good friendship with them. I really have a cool experience with them and they are mostly doing the work now because remember I said that last time when I did the paper prototype I did it all on my own and now all the team members were helping on this and this time we got a better grade on it than the last time it was much easier to make things when you all work together. And I am really enjoying the team helping with the work it is a lot of work we do but we finish it all because we always work together.

We are unstable.
