3 charts






This is graph is my favourite one since it displays the total number of scores that I had in Q1 and Q2. It is simple and very easy to understand. It also shows gross speed, net speed and accuracy.







The chart on the right shows my gross speed in that I scored in Q1. I chose it because its precise and its easy to understand.


This green chart is the most simple one of all three. Its also precise and displays my net speed in Q1.

My Vacation 2011




My vacation weren't very cool but they are not bad either. Like always, they started pretty normal. I took my first three days sitting on my couch watching t.v and playing Xbox 360. For a couple of days I was anxious for christmas to come but after a few hours I noticed it wasnt that exciting since my cousins were not coming to town. Anyways, I went to a professional basketball court with some friends of mine to play. I did this for like four days straight. In conclusion, my first week of vacation was okay.

In Christmas some of my cousins came to my house to celebrate with me and my family. We had such a good time. I think that day was the best part of my vacation. Everyone had their presents but mine was seriously th best. I got an amplifier for my electric guitar. Its huge since it has 75w. The party ended at 6 am but I went to bed by 4 am. The next day I decided to learn a new song of my favourite band; this song is called bat country. It took me a whule before I could play it perfectly. In new years I went to my friends house and after that i decided to dunk some basketballs.

Reflective statement

My stop motion project was little boring although it took me 5 seconds to decide what to do. I was focused on what I wanted to do, my idea didnt changed at all, I always wanted to create a top becoming a granade. The most challenging part that I faced was to erase and to draw again and again for 7 days straight. I dont mind this because after all, I did enjoyed it, it was pretty cool seeing how it worked. If I needed to change something about it, it would be the camera moving. Although I love animation I woulndt choose it as a career because I prefer doing other stuff.

My Thoughts about how aspv teaches us about technology

Aspv does a good job on teaching students about technology. I cant really see if the way they do it is good or bad, I just really dont care. I think it is okay how Mr. Picketts shows us how to use some applications in the computer. He is a really good teacher. Without him, I wouldnt know how to even use blogger, or powerschool.

Another good thing that our teacher do is to explain us how to prevent cyberbullies. Thi is good to know, because if you give them your attention you will end up being sad. Anyways, this is something that is really sad and true. As I was saying, the teachers do very good.

In conclusion, ASPV give us good knowledge about technology. The only thing that sucks that they make us do is typing test. I think is kind of wierd, because we do blog posts, and that improves our writing skills. So, I don see the point of doing the typing test, its just a waste of time.

Julian's Medium

Im going to use pencil for my stop motion. I was going to bring plasticine, but then I realized I was going to take too long. Anyways, Im going to convert a top into a hand grenade by drawing and erasing everytime I take a picture. I chose this medium because I dindt had anything else in mind. I was considering doing a cherry turning to a grenade but I found it really hard. I think copying the drawings with a slightly difference each time, is going to be my biggest challenge.

Stop motion

I loved all stop motion videos. If someone asks me what stop motion means, I think I would answer that they're videos that are made of cointinous pictures , and then put in together to form a video. These films that I saw give a certain feeling, depending on the video. In my opinion, the paper day video, was kind of sad. I think people like to create videos in stop motion, because its more admirable because takes more time. Also, because its the only way to make something move without using your hand, if you are not a professional.
