Websites & Infographics By Eleanor

Today in class we are continuing creating our websites and infographics. On our websites, we are adding a home, about, and a contact page. We are going to put our infographics on our websites. Some people continue to work on their sketches for their business plans by using either AwwApp or Sketchpad.  This is all part of our social media campaign.

Social Media Advertising Campaign by Kady

This week in technology we are making spreadsheets, infographics, and websites for our inventions. We are making our infographics on a cool website called piktochart. We learned that when making a piktochart we don't want to use too many words.  We want to use more pictures. Also to create our websites, we are using weebly.com, which is a great experience to advertise! This week has been so much fun trying to use different forms of technology to make our inventions great!

Creating Business Plans by Daniel

Today is the last day of creating a business plan and everybody is working hard. We are creating an invention to help the world. People have to include the cost, marketing plan, and the idea itself. We're also supposed to draw a picture of our invention to show "investors" what our product looks like. This project is very hard because it is hard to think of an idea, what it is about, and what can be done with it.

Invention Convention by Nate

This week in technology, we split up into to groups to create an invention. In my group we are creating a phone that can be implanted in your arm just by eating a piece of candy. On the phone there are many different futuristic apps that my group has thought of. For example, one of the apps is an app that lets you face time someone with a hologram. I think this is a good activity because it opens all of the students minds to create anything we want.

Think Before You Post

Learning about the top ten things to think about before we post online is extremely important, especially because we will be launching our social media campaigns this quarter.  Flocabulary.com's informative rap gave us great insight into how what we post cannot only impact ourselves but others too for a long time.  Using Storyboardthat.com, we shared digital citizenship tips.  We hope you enjoy our samples below:

A Creative Bunch

We uploaded our ScratchJr. animations that illustrate our creative inventions.  This was a fun brainstorming activity.  We hope you enjoy!

Making inventions with Scratch Jr.

We are making inventions with Scratch Jr today in technology. This is our second day working on it, and it has been fun. It is a little tricky because sometimes the app does not work. It is fun because we get to express our ideas and then share them with the class. We are having lots of fun inventing our creative ideas today.
