           Today, it was a work day for everyone to work on their final project. For me, I worked on my website because I knew that is what I would have the most trouble with.I learned how to change the title and also the heading page while I was in class. I worked and almost got it completed before I started losing interest, so I moved on to another classes homework. I then later finished my website at home and was all good to go. I also did my lesson plan at home later on.

      Today we started out class with a guest speaker. We learned and went through all of the different options of Wordpress. I feel pretty comfortable with Wordpress and I am sure that is what I will use for my final project.
      After the presentation and learning all the different options, we went back into Dream Weaver and learned some new tools to help us change the font and also alter the pictures. Dream Weaver is a lot more complicated for me to understand because I do not understand coding at all and I am always lost. I understood what we did for the most part today, but would never be able to create a website on my own.
       Finally, we had some free time to do some brainstorming and working on our final project. I have a good idea what I am going to do, but I'm not confident it will work out when I go to do the project. Guess we will find out here soon!

Today we started the class by finding different apps that would work in the classroom. The app that I found was a geography quiz game and it was rather hard. It would be used for high school students to learn places around the world. It showed capitals around the world and famous places that are well known. This is something that could be useful when learning place.

Next, we went into building a lesson plan for the app that we found. We answered the questions and filled out the template that was provided for us.

Once that was done, we started making our own app. For making our app, we started out in photo shop creating the title page. Once done with that we added it into our app and starting making the app our own. We changed all of the content to match what our app was going to be. This took some rather long time because there was a lot to change. Once it was done though, it looked good and was rather easy to do.

         This week we started by looked at a variety of different websites and seeing whether they were fake or real. Some of the websites looked real at first but when looking deeper into them we found out that they were not real. The website I had looked at looked some what real, but then I looked into the director and he seemed a little weird. Other websites we could tell right away that they were fake due to the bad lay out or spelling and grammer errors. We spent time looking at all of the websites and talking about them.
        Next we went and started learning and looking at podcasts. We spent some time looking up different ones that were done on itunes. The one that I found was a review about volcanoes and it was one a teacher had made. Finally, we learned how to make our own and started into the assignment. I have not chose what I am going to do, but I know it will turn out good.
