Mozilla Webmaker

Mozilla Webmaker was a really interesting experience.  I would not be surprised if I found myself using this website for a school project one day.  It does not really feel like hacking, but I have never actually hacked something so I do not know what hacking feels like.  I sometimes had trouble being creative and thinking of my own ideas.  But overall, I am really glad that I was introduced to this cool website.

Webpages

My favorite type of webpages to visit are about entertainment and the news.  I like to be current with the news and read all of the updates.   I am thinking of creating a webpage on current events.

Excel

I have not had that much experience with excel before, so this lesson was very helpful.   I feel like I understand how to use excel much better; but I do not know how much I will actually use it in my future.

Is Eliza Human?

Eliza is difficult to program.  The directions were not very clear or helpful.  However, I did find it interesting to learn how Eliza works.  When I first had a conversation with her, I was really frustrated and I constantly referred to her as a "stupid program"  The coding helped me understand that it is not Eliza's fault that she is incapable of carrying on a conversation; because she is, after all, just a coding system, not a human.

Codes

Angry Birds: The Angry Birds code program was frustrating. Every time I messed up, I had to restart. It was kind of hard for me and sometimes confusing. As the levels progressed they got harder. Angry Birds was my first experience with coding. Tynker: The Tynker coding program was very similar to the Angry Bird's program. I played the Puppy Adventure game on Tynker. It was entertaining and I enjoyed this program more than the Angry Bird's program. Lightbot: The Lightbot coding program was by far the most enjoyable. Due to my past experiences with programing with Angry Birds and Tynker, Lightbot was not as confusimg or hard. Although I would proably not play these games in my free time, I enjoyed the experience with coding.
