The Movie Poster I created


It was very interesting to complete the Mozilla Thimble activities.  I liked creating the movie poster because it was interesting to see how I had the ability to change the pictures and colors on the site.  These activities were beneficial because they allowed me to learn and also use what I learned to create something.  I also create a meme.  This process was simple, but allowed me to understand how to change the URL and how this would impact the meme.  Below are examples of what I created on the Mozilla Thimble activities.

Webpage I would most like to read

My favorite types of Webpages to read are how-to blogs, fashion blogs, and baking blogs.  I love finding new recipes on the baking blogs and make-up tutorials on the how-to and fashion blogs.  I would like to create a how-to blog with different DIY's on it that could benefit other people who do not know how to do something. On my webpage, I would like to post pictures and also link to different videos.

Excel

Before learning about Excel, I only knew the basics of it.  After completing the challenges, I have learned many new things and feel like I will be able to use Excel more in my daily life as a student and person.

Programming Reflection

 Angry Birds:
Angry Birds was the first program I tried.  At first, it was very simple and easy for the bird to eat the pig.  As the levels progressed, the game became harder and harder and eventually became Plants vs. Zombies.  I have played these games before on my Iphone, and it was interesting to create codes and see how you could control the bird's movements and what path it took.  As I kept playing the games, I felt like I learned more about coding and became more comfortable with the coding directions. I enjoyed playing Angry Birds and creating different codes.

Light Bot: 
Light Bot was much simpler than Angry Birds.  In order for the Light Bot to travel across the blue squares, I had to create a coding so the Light Bot could move.  Although this game seemed basic, it is definitely a great way for beginners to learn about coding.  



Holiday Card:
It was really interesting to create a Holiday Card using coding.  In this program, a digital card was created and characters or spites could be added to the canvas. I enjoyed creating a digital card that featured an octopus, snowman, and star.  Sounds could also be added to enhance the card.  Overall, the Holiday Card was my favorite form of coding.
