Final Reflections (Week 37 and Finals)

Riley P. — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 19:07:34 +0000

Tag: In my older post which was in September I said, one of my idea’s for TAG is we should have complex quest that has four different parts and for each part only a certain amount of people know how to do, at the end of the year i felt all required little or no help from classmates. Next year,even though I am not participating in Mac Lab, collaboration would keep the students focused on their projects and others.

Amp: This year i used AMP as a motive to work harder and smarter, creating projects using more tools than I usually do. The ideas of autonomy, mastery, and purpose create this idea of combining all of them into AMP setting a standard for every student. I used it get me through the year trying to get purpose. I tried to get mastery of Illustrator, Photoshop, and Alice. The autonomy gave me a direction into the digital world and what I want to be.

ZIM: What the quote means to me is that there is no one or thing that controls what you say or act, its all up to you to control what your actions are and you have to face the consequences whether they are positively or negatively impacting you. Its up to you choose your career or profession.

Week 32: Honor

The Code of Honor applies to me by giving me trust to make the truthful answer and make rightful decisions. It is a chance to prove yourself as a mature adult.

Gaming Up (week 23)

Riley P. — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:38:12 +0000

For most of the year I have been making the easy two different color logos that have my name inserted with a catchy title. When he showed us about the computer Science program I started to use Alice but grew a lack of interest in it. After Mr. Skocko put up the 70 other tutorials on illustrator I started to get back into illustrator and was able to create this.

AMP (Week 17)

Riley P. — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:58:11 +0000

From the inspiration of AMP I have created a new game were you fly a jet through an ocean chasing a boat. The game isn’t finished yet but I intend to finish it. I have also created an adventure of a knight that goes through three parts.

Autonomy

I felt in the speech, by Tom Friedman, I agree with his statement on how that most jobs now requires more then the average worker and have a more creative one. ZIM!
