In Emerging Technologies, we worked on a family history project. I had to interview my mom and my grandpa Hugh and send an e-mail to my Aunt Jill. The information that they gave me taught me more about my history and after I learned more I had to make a family tree. This tree consist of all my family members that I could trace back to. Then, I had to make a Prezi about each family member. I enjoyed this because it taught me interesting things about each family member. The last thing that I had to do was make an Infographic on Piktochart. I talked about my family migration and life nowadays. This is all I had to do for my family history project.

Blog Post of the Day:
What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.
This Thanksgiving I am planning to go to Omaha to visit my family. We will celebrate it with the family and we will play fun games like bag toss and eat a bounty of food that my grandpa prepares. A tradition that we celebrate is always letting the youngest eat the first bite. This first bite represents the youngest because they will be the future of are family. All the other days I will be addicted to my new Pokemon DS games and sleep to catch up on rest. I will also be working on homework and spend plenty of time with my mom and sister.

Reflecting on the comments and grade of your stop-motion animation... what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again? Would you manage your time better? Find better lighting for your photos? Come up with a better idea? Explain what you would change about your video.
This project was very fun but there are things that I would go back and improve so that my stop motion is better. The first thing that I would improve is the story line because I did't have a good clear story. The next thing I would improve is the consistency of the pictures. I would spend more time on the pictures to make sure that the objects in the stop motion seem as life-like as possible. The last thing that I would improve is the lighting in the pictures. I feel like my pictures were dark so next time there is a project like this I will use a lamp for better lighting. The video overall was good and I am pleased with the grade that I was given.

Tell me about your weekend.
My weekend was great because I got to go camping with my boy scout troop. On Friday, I got to go to the camp site and eat pizza with my friends. We talked about random stuff and for dessert we ate amazing cookies. On Saturday morning, I got to eat an amazing muffin and hiked some trails with the troop. I also played Ladder ball with my friends and beat all of them. For dinner, we ate an amazing seasoned turkey and had hot chocolate. On Sunday, we left and went to Nordstrom Rack and I got new shoes for basketball try-outs. Then we went home and I went to bed dreaming about Basketball.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.
Creating another stop motion was very fun because I got to try something different from what I did last year. This year I decided to use quarters in my stop motion instead of using card decks. It was cool but a problem I encountered is trying to keep the camera set on one place. What was difficult for me was finding a nice area to take my stop motion in because there were so many options. In the end, I used the counter and took great pictures for my quarter stop motion. What I would change is that I would change my camera angle every couple pictures because that would show variety. This project was really fun!

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.
Stop motion anime is when you take a bunch of pictures and make it into a video for others to watch. What I mean by this is if you have a skittle pack and you use the skittles to make your stop motion then you would have your skittles become life-like. In the photos, you would move the skittles inch-by-inch until you have the skittles form a design that you wanted to see. These photos would move in order in the video so fast it would seem like the skittles can move themselves. This is what I know about stop motion anime from my previous experience in photography.
