Class 7, FINAL PREPARATION: Choosing a JavaScript programming track

The first JavaScript programming track I experimented with was Kahn Academy. At first I thought it was a little difficult to understand, but as I continued to watch the tutorials and work with the programming, it became easier. I worked with adding shapes, and changing the colors, size, and location of each of them. All in all, I believe that Kahn Academy was not as user-friendly as possible.

Next, I experimented with LearnStreet, where I took a lesson on Variables and Operators. It taught me different programming lines on JavaScript. It can tell you if an inequality is true or false, the value of a variable, or do math for you. I found LearnStreet very interesting, although sometimes a little challenging!

Finally, I went to Code Academy. Code Academy had similar outcomes to LearnStreet, but I felt that it was easier to use (maybe because I had already gotten comfortable because of LearnStreet). One thing that Code Academy did uniquely was tell me more about JavaScript in general, something I found very useful (I attached an example below). 

If I had to pick one out of the three to learn JavaScript with, I would pick Code Academy, because I thought it was the most informative and user-friendly.

Using gimp a blank screen i created this world of space that NASA someday will explore to the stars and beyond.

Final product (head shot of my avatar character using Gimp to write)

Progressive shots:

 For this midterm assignment I created a greeting card using only my headshot from my avatar character in  cloud party. I first went into avatar and took a screenshot of my avatar looking ahead. I then took this screenshot and opened it up in GIMP and added text in which I dropped a shadow for added effect. The final product is this great greeting card of myself. This is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.

This picture of myself was edited using Gimp. Using Gimp I changed my smile lines and wrinkles while keeping true to the photo.

Final Product

Work in Progress Shots:

The picture of Katt Williams above was edited with Gimp. First, I took out the unnecessary background. Then, I copied and pasted the circle image after cropping it to make his eyes. Next, I used the rectangular selection tool and the text tool to make the bottom banner. This is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course I am taking at Boston College.

Silver Dollar in Gimp, Class 6 Assignment 2

Here's a silver dollar that I made in Gimp, so it uses Bitmap graphics instead of Vector graphics.

Silver Dollar, Class 6 Assignment 1

Here's my silver dollar! I used vector graphics in Microsoft Word and then cropped it and added my name in Gimp.

Class 5, Assignment 1

Here's my infographic about the Immersive Education K12 Summit at Boston College. I created this at http://piktochart.com

Midterm #10

This is my house that I made using shapes and drawing tools in Microsoft Word. I made the roof with a triangle, the body, the windows, and the door of the house with rectangles, and used the free form drawing tool to make the clouds and the grass. I used patterns and gradients to fill the shapes with colors and added text, too. It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.
