Transcript #1
This is my final project for Emerging Technologies. This project shows my ability and knowledge of using internet-based programs. My first link is an interview with my mom. She had good resources and information for my to use.
Transcript #2
This is my second link and it is my second interview. I interviewed my grandpa. He knew a good amount about family history.

FamilyEcho
This is my family tree. I liked this part of the final because it gave me good information about family.

Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think this is inspiring because its true. People don't need to know everything we are learning in school for life but the most important things that we  need to learn is to not complain and not to be a baby you need to man up make sacrifices so you can make it in life and be a man instead of a baby. The main event is interacting with others, being respectful, listening and doing what you are asked to do by your teachers, and to man up and focus and do work in school so you can actually know how to interact in life and be muscle instead of dirt. Build like muscle and get stronger instead of being dirt and blowing everything of and flying in the air. Grow up and man up.

1. What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest).
2. If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mindblowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.
3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.
4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? 
5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.

1. My stop motion animation was about a lawn mower mowing the grass with out anyone pushing it. So it looked like the lawn mower was mowing the grass its self. I chose this video because i wanted it to look cool and look interesting. I also chose this video because I knew before i did it that it would be different from what others would do because i didn't even find on of mine on YouTube.
2. I would rate my project on a scale 1-10 a 8 because it is very cool but there is one little glitch in it and also you could see my leg in one picture so i wouldn't rate it as a 10 but i think an 8 is accurate because i worked hard and I think it is very cool.
3. I would do more pictures and make it longer if I had more time. That's about all i would do differently because i worked hard and it turned out great.
4. I think i thought outside the box on this project because its not just the lawn mower mowing the grass by it self but the background in the video. The clouds are moving quickly and their are peoples cars going back and forth and also their are people walking by. That makes it a really cool situation because its natural and interesting. Mine is unique because i could not find an example online of mine and also because the background and natural setting is very cool.
5. I think i deserve an A+ on this project because i worked hard, took my time, and did something different from what people find online as an example and copy that. I also think i deserve this grade because of the quality of the pictures and how it moves at a constant rate. I think my stop motion animation project turned out great!

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.

My 3 day weekend was great and relaxing. Friday night I hung out with friends for a few and then Saturday morning i went to the gym and after the gym i got ready for Prom. For prom dinner we went top Kyoto's which was really good. Then at 9:30 we went to the dance till about 11:00. After the dance we went to my house to change then we went to our after party. I went with Morgan Elfstrand and the after party was a lot of fun. Sunday morning i went to gym and did homework for awhile and went to bed early. Monday morning i went to the gym early because i had work at 2. Then at 10:00 i went golfing with my dad before i went to work. I don't have something funny to tell you this time.  That was my 3 day weekend.`

Tell me ALL about what your idea is for your stop-motion animation. I need detail. Who is going to help you take photos? What props do you need? Where do you plan on shooting? EXPLAIN everything.

My idea for my stop-motion animation is mowing my lawn. I am going to get my mom to help me take the pictures and i am going to use the sky's light so whatever light the sky gives me when i take the pictures that is how it will be. I will be using my phone to take all of the pictures. The way this will work is i am going to have the mower started and i will push it every few inches and then i will step back and take the picture and i will repeat that so when i have the finished product it will look like the mower is mowing the grass without anyone pushing it. It will look like the grass is actually getting cut too because i will have the mower on and so when it goes fast it will look really cool. I am going to just do the front right side of my lawn for this project so it doesn't take forever to do and not have 20,000 pictures. That is my idea for my stop-motion animation project.

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

My weekend was good. It started on Thursday for me kinda because Thursday night i went and saw Furious 7 that is one of my favorite movies. Friday night i just hung out at home and didn't do much. My brother was back in from Ku and so we went golfing Saturday afternoon at 11 and it was a lot of fun. Saturday night i didn't do much i stayed home and my brother had a few friends over and i talked to them for a little sense i don't see them as often anymore. Sunday was fun we all hung out and got candy for Easter and my mom and dad gave us a little Easter egg hunt witch was really fun. Sunday night i was home watched TV and relaxed. That was my weekend.
