Web pages

Web pages that are about other countries/states in the world are the most interesting to me. I like reading about people's trips and what they saw because it's interesting to hear how different other parts of the world are. I'm thinking of creating a web page that discusses all the differences we see in our surroundings based on where we travel to. I would want to compare and contrast different areas of the world because "it's a small world after all".

Reflecting on Excel

Learning how to properly use excel was very helpful to me. I learned so many shortcuts to things that I never knew. Now when I am working on excel, I won't waste as much time as I would have had to without the knowledge of how to use it.

Is Eliza Human?

Trying to program Eliza was very hard. The directions were not very specific so I ended up just playing around on it until something happened. It also only would work on certain softwares so I had to keep switching. The punctuation that we can use is very specific. You can only say certain things which is why Eliza doesn't use certain words that we use. For example, I tried saying "I'm" but it kept changing it to "I am" which is less natural for people to say. I didn't like using this Eliza program because it was too difficult to use.

Hour of Code

The first game on the hour of codes that I played was angry birds. This game was fairly easy but it got harder as you went on. Many of the levels were similar so you were just repeating the same steps a lot of the time. I was tempted to just skip some levels because it was taking so long and I just wanted to change games. Overall this game was alright but I probably wouldn't play it again.
 After angry birds, I played light bot. The purpose of this game was to give directions to a robot on where to move so all the blocks can be lit. This game was may favorite out of all three of them. I didn't take to long and it still kept the players interest. I would be interested in further studying this because it was interesting. I also think I was able to do well on this game because it wasn't too complex to understand.
My last game I played was the Tynker games. This one I had the most problems with because it wouldn't open on certain softwares. It also took a very long time to load so I wasn't able to finish all the levels. From the levels I did play, it was very similar to the other games but was a little bit easier. This was made for younger kids to play so the directions were much easier to understand then the other games. I didn't really like this game because it wasn't fun and it took to long. The wait of this game was not worth playing.
