Power Point
What i learned from this power point assignment is that, it takes a lot to make a power point. Or so that reading made it seemed. But sometimes presentation is key. I don't really know how to make a professional power point. But all you need is to have a little imagination. A little imagination can take you far in life. That's how people that work for Disney or any other cartoon s get there inspiration. By a little imagination and what's in the world around them.

surrounding it and a green rotating handle. A picture is selected when you
see the handles. To select a picture that does not have handles displayed,
click it.
You can change the size of a selected picture on a slide using the sizing handles as
well as rotate it’s original position with the green rotating handle.
3-3. If needed, resize your graphic now. Generally, you should always use one of
the four corner sizing handles to adjust size. This will ensure that the
graphic stays proportional to the original image. In other words, it will keep
you from “squishing” the graphic.
Your completed slide should look similar to the one below.
27.You will now use the AutoShape and text box tools to create a
diagram on this slide.
28.Click on the AutoShapes button from the drawing toolbar and select the
“Rounded Rectangle” from the list of Basic Shapes.
29.Draw a rounded rectangle on your slide near the top center. Use the image
below as a reference for positioning your shape.
30.Once you have drawn one of the rectangles, you can copy and paste it to
help complete the diagram. To copy the rectangle, right click on it and
select copy from the pop-up menu. To paste it, right click on the white part
of the slide and select Paste.

Blogging experince
Blogging is a new thing to me. I have never really thought about blogging but it has crossed my mind once or twice. And only because of what Ive heard on t.v. about celebrities. So thats not really good encouragement. The only person i new of that blog for a living is Perez Hilton. I dont ever plan to make a living off of blogging but it looks like a fun pass time. In todays changing world everyone needs away to relieve stress and just to relax and have conversation with othere people around the world. Ive found that to be a good use for blogging because you can interact with other people. And not just on whats happening with celebs but on whats going on in the world , around the world everyday. Like trying to find ways to help people solve problems in thier countries. Id like to continue to use blogging to get more intouch with other people.

Comments
Well i looked at Bethany and JaQuan's blog. They both had backgrounds that didnt overwhelm the page. Their fonts were able to be read. Their was nothing i needed to say about their bloags that was bad

Things about good and bad designs for websites
When it comes to the text you want it to beable to be scene by the public.
So that means dont have your text the same color as the background. Have the text a darker color that goes with the background. Another thing is to have your text big enough to read but not so big that it overwhelms everyone that wants to read your blog. Dont use a distracting background that makes the text to hard to read like having a busy picture as the background and have text that blends into the picture. Use navigation buttons because they are easy to use and understand. When posting links dont have junky links to websites that just dont seem logical to everyone that reads your blog. Dont post to many things which makes your page slow down, you should try to keep the page free to make it easier to move from page to page.
Wind turbine
The wind turbine was a very interesting project. I think this was to show me one of the many ways to conduct electricity. I learned that this is not the kind of project that you give groups not individuals, but it turned out to be an ok learning experience. During this project we had to look up pictures and info on how a wind turbine works.

There are many components that come with make a real turbine. But we made them out of paper which took longer than i thought. The wind turbine is related to the technology sector because its technology and you have to know how things work before you put them together.

What i learned about blogging
I learned that blogging is like a diary. A diary that almost everyone that owns a computer has access to. And you can post links to other websites. You can make blogs that deal with politics, news and the tagbloids. Basically you can talk about things that are true or you can post and or talk about things that just make sense. Blogging is also a way to give your opinion about a certain topic. A blog is more than putting your voice on line, it's also a way for you to connect with friends and people that happen to read what you have posted. Another thing is that , a blog is like twitter or facebook. You can make your page look any way you want. And all you have to do is get your friends involved and connect with people around the world to jump start your blogging career.
