We all have different ideas and things we believe in. One example is the notion of vacation. One could say that vacation is under the sun, at the beach, but another also could say that vacation is in the cold, snowboarding in the mountains. People need vacation to rest, take a time to think about nothing but pleasure. I was able to notice that this summer, because at the beginning I was under the rain; in Belgium seeing my family and going to amusement parks. Then, I went to Biarritz for a surf camp, and after that, I went in the alpes with the lowest temperate of 2°c during the day. All were fun and had a common point; the notion of vacation. The notion of vacation can be defined in several ways. It is the time between two working periods when you relax, wake up late, and eat junk food. Another way to define it would be; a mental relief when you let others do things for you, because when your are in vacation, other people are working so that your vacations are good.

 

Learning can sometimes be painful. But there are ways to overcome it by finding your best learning technique. I am more of a visual learner, I need to see things to understand them better. For example, in Math class, to solve a problem, I usually first draw a visual and use it to make my understanding stronger. Want to know what kind of learner you are?

My expectations for this 8th grade technology class are big in number, so I will say the most important ones. First, I hope that we will design like last year our own video game but to a higher level. I also hope that we will start to experience 3D designing for architecture and other types of 3Ds. I expect that we are going to learn how to be a good digital citizen. Lastly, I hope that we will learn to create and edit our own app.

This page talks about school, especially tech class. This year we had to do several projects.

A digital photography project, it contains exemple of photography skills like rule of thirds, framing, cropping, etc.

Here is my project

We also had to do a programming project, first we had to choose a existing game. Then we had to modify it like change the back ground, command, character , etc.

Here is the original game       here is my modified game

 

 

 

Sometimes, in life you want to achieve goals. Everyone have different goals they want to achieve. First of all you have to find a specific objective. Last year I had a desire of getting  presidential at everything in PE. So I started to look in internet, ask friends and teachers, and finally I find this; S M A R T;

– Specific

You know exactly what goal you want to reach.

– Measurable

You know that you are able to achieve it.

– Achievable

To bring to a successful end; carry through; accomplish.

– Reasonable

The goal or objective makes sense to you.

– Timely

You give yourself a specific amount of time to reach your goal.

 

Getting presidential was a big thing, so I decided to divide it into two categories; Endurance and  fitness. Endurance was the mile, beep test, and shuttle run. Fitness was push-ups and sits ups. Every week at least 2 times, I was practicing those things, and at the end of the year; Guess what? I got presidential for everything. Sometimes, people need support from other, so if someone ask you know what to answer!
