Week 6 - About Me Project


Check out my About Me Project. 
Learn more about this project



What was your inspiration?
I watched the intro to Gaia Project. I liked this project compared to the others because there was more motion and it was more personalized using a photograph of her. Additional things I liked was how the pictures were related to her and represented something about her. 
How did you do that?
I did a remix of Gaia's Project. At first I attempted to create the project on my own - but then  I thought wait, why I don't I down load Gaia's Project and modify it to fit my needs. We did learn about this "remixing".

What did you get stuck on? How did you get unstuck?
When I was trying to build it on my own I got stuck on the variables and understanding the set to busy command. To get unstuck I started to look at Gaia's project and see how she made everything work - then I remixed that project. 

What are you most proud of? Why?
The completion of my project and using my own images to tell a little about me. This is so neat that I was able to create an animation - and I can not wait to use this in my classes with my students.

  1. From your About Me project, I learned that you are a business teacher at a local high school, live in West Virginia, are married, and have a young son.
    What I like about your project is that you showed pictures for everything you shared about yourself and kept it all on the same page, while talking about it.
    One thing I learned about SCRATCH from your project is that you don't have to change backgrounds and pictures to have an effective message.

  4. From your About Me project I learned that you are in your last semester of graduate school. Congrats! What I liked best about your project was the format of having the user click on different icons to learn information about you. One thing I learned about SCRATCH from your project is that you can zoom pictures in and out.
