My Rotoball Idea

There are many things to do for an animation. Also, I heard this animation had to do with something to do with what I do. There are many things that I do but I have made up my mind. What I will do is that I will start of playing tennis. Later on, I will sit down and read a book. After this doing I will throw the book which would turn into a basketball to a hoop and then after that it would just go out of the screen. That is my animation idea.

New Technology

This new technology stunned me. I never thought that it would be available for people so soon. My reaction to this video was complete amazement. I thought at the end of the video ¨I want one¨. It shure would please me to have one even just for messing around with the controls. I think that this is a new kind of a technology life.

The greatest things about technology are its functions. If you think about it, we started as cavemen using rocks and nothing more. Then, out of nowhere, technology appeared and it sure is awesome. Technology may be pretty cool but it is not god. Technology can´t do many things but if you think about it, we only use technology for so many things so I wouldn´t really think of what I can´t do with technology but, I would think of what I can do with it.

Open source is something accesible to everybody. Talking about technology, computers, laptops, cellphones are open source and so on. Many of these I have used and so many others. The pros of this technology may be new information available or maybe just a new kind of technology that would allow us to do stuff that other might not like motion tweens easier (joke). The cons of this technology is that somehow some people may use it for evil or that as it is wireless and stuf, if anything breaks (as it looks fragile), you would have to buy another one. In conclusion, this technology is awesome but some things could be improved to even make this technology more awesome.

Internet at home

Internet at home is a film dierected to everybody in the world. This documentary is about teenagers who are dominated by the internet. Teenagers these days spend 1/4 or more of their time in the computer. The purpose of this project is to show the risks of being in the internet and and so on. These people interview some of the kids at home and try ro make them in a way said tell the producers of the film of what is happening with his life and the internet. From this type of domcumentary you could say that the producers had some addictive childs who were all the time at the computer. You could say that this could be a very interesting film which it is, but, the producers leave some questions out of the film. Some of those questions are like what benefits come from the internet and some other things. I think that like all other documentaries they exagerate a little bit but they are partly true and so I just leave the rating to other people.

Digital Media in Schools

If you want to be filled on a books story just for fun, it is not a crime to do it on someone elses summary but if you are asked as a favor or work to do it, i think you should feel guilty. It is actually skipping and making your work a lot easier when others struggle but, who says life is the same to everyone? I think that you should be guilty but still, some people are too lazy and make their life easier. Later on in life, those people who cheated wont go far and so i say again, you should feel guilty. It is the same as cheating on any test or anything. It is like cheating life and its obstacles. Some may think that it is just a minor thing cheating but still if you talk about justice, that would be a crime. So I conclude that some may be cool with it but the authorities, in this case the teachers, wouldnt think it is cool and would probably get you punished if exposed.

Winter Vacations

This winter vacations were actually pretty exciting. You would think that I as a teenager would take a disgust feeling for Christmas and spending time with relatives but no, it was actually pretty fun. At first, when I cam out of school, I was told we were going to Mexico. I was actually mad as I cannot stand being in a car for 5 hours max. To tell the truth, I was sleeping all the ride and so I didnt care that much. First of all, we made a stop at Guadalajara. We have some relatives there and we actually spended Christmas there and not in Mexico. I have nothing against Guadalajara by the way I am writing, it is just that I thought that we were spending Christmas in Mexico. All the time spent in Guadalajara before Christmas was just a waste of time. In other words we were making time and by "we" I mean my parents and brother (forgot to mention they were with me). It was New Year's Eve and the little kids or my cousins which are barely below 8 years old all (so I cant really talk to them about some stuff) were getting their presents that day. After watching all the abnormal stuff they got because some things they got just were strange, I kind of fell asleep and about an hour later I went to bed. I have to many cousins and aunts to name them all and so nobody feels discriminated. Now, just to shorten things up as I have many other stories but I cant tell them all, I got for Christmas a PlayStation 3 and a metal thing to excersise. Then I went to Mexico and spended New Year. Later on I went to my home and played lots of PlayStation...







I wouldnt change a lot of my vacations. To tell the truth it was way more exciting than what I just wrote peviously, but, there are some minor details which I would change like traveling by plane. That would have been a lot faster going to Mexico but way more expensive. Also, I would have changed some time that I spent doing nothing to doing something creative. That is mostly all I would change.






Going to another topic which is what would my dream vacation be, well, it be really complicated. It would be in a sunny beach with clear waters and lots of time to spend in it. Also, a nice hotel would be really appreciated and some other tropical enviroment around. Now just to compensate this dream vacation, lots of fun would be needed. Seriously, there is nothing more I wish this boring and kind of shady day for me right now.

Roller coaster tycoon reflexion

Little hand made rollercoasters are pretty hard to make. They take a lot of time and that is what twelve graders did. All of them sure looked interesting but after two of them things got a little boring.
Well, now starting with the reflexion, I have to say that I didn't enjoy them that much. First of all was a Dragon coaster and the design was pretty cool. The only bad thing was that it wasn't that well done. I give it a 48/60.Later on we went to a football design coaster. I have to say that this one was pretty dull in colors and design but it was about Mexico so I'd would say an average coaster. There isn't that much to say and so I give it a 42/60.After that one we went to a candy land coaster. It was actually pretty good designed with colors and structure. I thought that one was the most colorful and it actually wokred pretty good. I give that one 60/60.Later on was a city one. I thought it was pretty creative by using buildings but it lacked with structure. I think they spent more time on background design than the coaster itslef. I give it a 46/60.There was alsot this Wonder Land coaster which again was dull in design. It had a few spins in the structure but it didn't work so good so I think that one was not as good.At last was some kind of zoo or something. It was actually pretty dull in structure too but it worked so it would have been an average. I give it 40/60.
I think most of them took time but they weren't very good and so I think we are here to improve so I leave no more comment.

Guest Francisco reflexion

Francisco, the mexican who went into United States leaved me a very shocking thought. He told us about what it was like being in Iraq. I never imgained that people were ordered to do such barbaric things. I guess that those people didn´t have a choice. It is really awful too that people or in this case the politicians lie to their own troops just to get what they want. The troops are fighting for many reasons that they have been told but the truth of their prescence in Iraq is something they don´t know. I just think that people must really have a hard time and we can´t judge them of being that dumb or cruel. We should actually harass the politicians. Apparently the politicians even lie to the civilians and so on but I guess that after this event I hava changed my way of thinking of them.
