invention at play 4

this was the hardest one yet i used all except for two. i made it where just in case it went the other way i could still have a way for it to go in.its kind of like a back up plan. i tried like 15 times and just now got it. i dont think it was hard, bt i was hard for me.

invention at play3

i just put alot of different things together. i knew it would bounce around so i put something pack so if it did it would bring it back around. it was very cool, i didnt think this one would work. i almost never pressed save, thats how crazy it looked to me. that shows you anything could work.

invention at play

i only used a couple of the items to make the pall get in the "bowl". it was easy i did it in a matter of seconds. once you see how the ball rolls as soon as you press the botton you can easily set it up. i just put the piece of wood on a lant and it went in. but i believe as you keep going and you put less in there it will get harder.
 I did the invention playhouse by placing the items in a place where i knew it would fall. the other way was to place a spring just in case it jumped out of place the spring would make it bounce right back. you have to place it in an angle to where the ball is coming from you cant have it too close because it would roll right past it. it wasnt really hard to complete you just have to be creative and think about it before you do it. you could try just putting things anywhere but you would have better luck if you think about whats going to happen after you press the button. its really funny to create a way to get an item from one place to the other. it just takes a focused mind to figure out all the different ways to do it. there are many more ways you can do it besides how i did it. some people can do it using all the different things. this activity is helping us be more creative.

What i have learned form doing the powerpoint?

the things i have learned from doing this power point was how to give a presentation in an organized way. the ways you make your presentation professional is to not have too may colors. if you have too many color it will get distacting and take away from your information. you cant have too many words on one slide. if  you have too mayn words it seems longer and you may bore your listeners. dont read it word for word. when you are presenting your information dont read it right off the screen, you should know what it says paraphrase it. if you are going to add pictures make sure they are all the same. do not get pictures from google and the clipart and combine them, because you have to stick to one. i learned that you can do many things using powerpoint alone. there are many ways to do simple things like starting the slideshow. i learned how to make the outline of a box a certain color while everything else is different.

What i learned from my blog?

the things i learned is that you cant have too much going on in your blog. you shouldnt have too many colors that are very bright and would take the attention away from the blog itself. everything flows nice color wise. your text has to be big enough to read and is in a font that is easy to read.  the pages should download quickly. the bad blog would just be the total opposite. in a bad blog the words would be way to small or way too big. the color would be "loud" and paragraphs typed in bold letters and having dead links. my blog had a nice color contrast and was easy to read i had to change one thing but now i think my blog looks fine.
