Multi-Tasker




I am a okay multi-tasker. I can chat while working and listen to music! But that is all I can do at the same time! If I do more things than that then I will get distracted! And I
can only do one assignment at once! If I do two of them then I don't give my best work!

I get a lot of distractions while I am completing assignments! Like chatting, E-mail, other assignments, interesting books etc... But when I completely focus then I can put my best effort into it!

Some strategies I use to avoid multi-tasking are listening to music! It blocks out all the other sounds and I can focus on my work! Although listening to music and working is technically multi-tasking but it works to block off all the other distractions!

My mom hates multi-tasking! Because she thinks its really distracting! On the other hand my dad loves multi-tasking. Because he thinks its a waste of time not doing multi-tasking. Because he is extremely organized. So he can do 4 different things at once! My mom finishes one thing at a time! Only sometimes she does multi-taking! But my dad is like on the phone, on his laptop, writing stuff down etc... But I don't really use the computer that much so I don't need to multi-task that much! So my parents don't really have a problem with me multi-tasking or not multi-tasking!

Ipads are IMPORTANT!!!

We should get ipads for school because we can use them for many things! Not just one thing! Like our history text book! It is only for history/humanities. But on the ipad we can use them for math, humanities, science, IT and any other class that we need computers in! It is also a lot less lighter than our textbooks. One text book alone makes my bag really heavy! Imagine two text books! We will be hurting our backs! Then we will be unhealthy children! Then we will not be able to pay attention to studies! So we really need ipad! Heavy backpacks lead to most teen injuries! So that is why ipads are important!!!Text Color

iphone and ipad apps!


My first app choice is 'Touch Pet Dogs'. In that game you can make a virtual dog and you have to take care of it. There are lots of breeds you can choose from and you can even adopt robot dogs! You can dress your dog and play with it in your backyard! You can get your dog jobs like doctor, rockstar, police officer..... You can earn energy, agility, chasing, water, happiness and many more points. Then when you have enough money you can adopt another dog! Or you could buy your dog something. I would use this app because it will make me more responsible! I would have to look after another kind of living thing. Also I have always wanted a dog and was never allowed one! So my dog Lizzie fills in for a real dog.My second app is called 'Touch Congas'. In that app you can make your own conga music and you can make your own conga band! I wanted to get this app because first of all it is free! And it will help me with music! Maybe I will like playing music more after I use this app. And it will be fun making up my very own crazy beats!My last app is 'ireading HD'! I can download book! It is my own portable library! Then I won't have to borrow books and be worried about the due date! And I won't have to spend money on new books!

Want to take quality pictures? Want to play around with them? Want to morph together two different pictures? Take quality pictures now! This app could be used in Photography, Plugged in or anything with photography included.The color would be more defined and after you take the picture you could change it around with special effects! Like make the whole background gray and one thing in the middle that is colorful. You could make a green sky and blue trees. You could morph two different pictures together. And then add more special effects to it if you want to of course! It is a great way to take quality pictures and play around with them. My apps would be called 'Swoosh!'. I would like to make mine free because if it was paid then I won't be able to use my own app! Copyright Pratiti!

Stop Motion Animation




Hi people! The youtube video on top of what you are reading is MY stop motion animation youtube video. Or you can refer it to as SMAYV (stop motion animation youtube video)! This was a BIG assignment! The Video is called Life Just as we Know it. I totally loved thinking of ideas. Like people say the sky is the limit! Camila (my partner) and me had a lot of fun thinking of ideas. First we thought we could do a thing called 'the cool shoes'. Yeah.... Sorry I was thinking of how fun it was. Well since we didn't do that idea you must have figured out that 'the cool shoes' didn't work out. But you should really try doing a stop motion it is a lot of fun. I you don't know how look it up on google. And if you want examples look it up on youtube. There are lots. The really cool one is the t-shirt wars. But I think that frame by frame (the app we used to do the SMAYV) was really bad. Not the best kind of app for a school project. And to add on to the app. It keeps quitting unexpectedly. Then all your work gets deleted. And then you have to start over. Which is why Camila and me had started Life Just as we Know it 8 times. But if Camila and me were given more time..... Okay much more time! We would gladly work on our stop motion more. We would take more time and make way cooler.

Comments:

Viet: I thought that it was cool that you actually did something other than human stop motion, because after we started doing it, everyone else started doing it as well -.-' one thing I could say about this was that you played it way to fast, so I probably spent half the time thinking 'Wot?' Also (my opinion) you should reverse the picture right side up (and yes you can do that in Frame-by-Frame. All in all 7/10.

Cameron: The stopmotion was way too fast, it also confused me. I mean, all I saw really was a pen drawing stickfigures and writing some words which I never was able to read because the film was too fast! The film did not have much of a story, from what I saw, no offense, but I will give it a 5.5/10. Sorry, but I am being completely honest.
