Safety is a First Priority
Word Cloud
For this project, we were assigned to write a paper about being safe on the internet. We had to include the following topics: responsibility, rights, etiquette, and how to protect yourself. The whole paper had to be 500 words altogether, and had to have a word cloud at the end. If you look to your left, you will see the picture of the word cloud that I used on my essay. A word cloud is basicly a whole bunch of words that are all related to a specific topic (mine being online safety) that are all put together to make a picture. My word cloud uses words that explain online safety. For exampe, I used the words online, safety, and responsibility a lot. Making word clouds are very fun and pretty easy as well.
Safety to Me
For this project, we created an online poster that represents how you felt about online safety and cyber-bullying by using text, information, pictures, and images. In order to create this project we used Glogster. This project was very challenging and fun! It helps you to learn a lot about how to be safe on the internet, and all of the "do's" and "dont's". The reason we did this project was to better understand the reason to be safe on the internet.
Commercial
For this project, we were assigned to create three commercials for a business that we made up. The commercial had to be at least thirty seconds long and include all of our contact information, description of the project, description of the company, and all of the commercials had to have the same theme. I learned all about making commercials and how to persuade people to visit your business. The reason we did this project was to show our knowledge of persuading people by creating a commercial using Xtranormal.
If You Give
For this project, we were assigned to recreate our own version of the If You Give book series. The only difference with the book we created, was that it had to be related to technology. It had to have 20 pages including 10 if/then sequences. Before we created the book, we had to create a storyboard to help us plan our book. By doing this project, I learned how to make my own book and how to save and insert pictures. The reason we did this was to demonstrate our knowledge of collaborating with peers, saving and editing pictures, and designing a book while using Blurb.
Marketing Materials
For the marketing materials, we had each person from our three person group make either an advertisement, a flyer, or a business card. We had to determine which person would do which marketing material. We all recieved the same grade for our work. I learned a lot during this project. For example, I learned how to work well together with the people in my group. We did the project to demonstrate our knowledge on designing different marketing materials, and learn how to persuade others.
Wild World Flyer
For our flyer, we had to incude our business logo, slogan, contact information, and basic information of our business, Wild World. All of our colors had to match and be cohesive. Believe it or not, I had a good time creating this flyer! This is only one of the objects we had to have for our marketing materials project. During this project, I learnd different techniques on how to make something persuasive and stand out.
Wild World Business Card
For our business card, we had to include our business name, our name, a title, our business adress, telephone number, e-mail, website, business tagline, and our logo. This was also one piece of our marketing materials. One thing I learned was how to create a business card on Microsoft Publisher. The reason we created a business card was to show our knowledge of using productive software to create a business card.
Wild World Advertisement
Last but not least, we were assigned to create an advertisement for our made up business. At a minimum, we had to provide the business name, business tagline and contact information. Also, we had to use our logo and the colors used to create it had to be cohesive. I learned how to create an advertisement that would persuade others to buy/use our products. One of the reasons we did this project was to collaborate with peers. ( We had to check up on each others work.)

Presentation
For this assignment, we were asked to create a 5 minute presentation about our company and what is sells. We had to include our marketing materials, our contact information, description of product/company, and our slogan. I learned how to make a presentation using Prezi instead of a Microsoft Powerpoint. The reason we did this was to show that we could collaborate with peers and create a presentation persuading people to go to our business.

Creative Writing
First, we were assigned to create a list of our ten favorite words. Then, we had to type a story with a technology based theme that uses all 10 of our favorite words in the story. It had to be at least 350 words long. My ten words were animals, money, food, helping, college, cooking, technology, resturaunt, fun, and rabbit. The reason we did this project was to demonstrate our knowledge of writing a story based off of technology.
I'm Thankful
For this project, we had to create a video showing what we are thankful for. It had to include 5-7 pictures and at least 2 ares of text. All of the pictures needed to come from bing or google. Last but not least, it had to have music all throughout the video. The reason we did this project was to demonstrate our knowledge of

Royal Pin Research
For this project, we had to figure out different ways to make the After School Blast Program better. (The After School Blast Program is a program that Royal Pin Bowling is providing). We had to make a Spaaze board, a commercial, and a flyer to demonstrate what we think will make kids want to participate in the After School Blast Program. We had to use an online corkboard (Spaaze) to present our research. Our Spaaze board had to include a topic for research, 2 primary sources, 5 secondary sources, 1 link to a video, 5 images, and 2 research questions. Check out my Spaaze board!
A Christmas Comic
For this project, we had to create a comic relating to Charles Dickens novel, A Christmas Carol. We had to choose from the ghost of Christmas past, present, or future. (I chose future.) Then, we had to figure out what our Christmas ghost would tell the person it is visiting. Next, we had to decide what the ghost would warn the person about. Finally, we had to decide whether or not our comic was going to be related to technology. In order to create the comic we used Toondoo!
