The last of Class

This class has been my favorite writing class of all time. The topics we wrote about were fun and interesting. I learned to blog and use different kinds of programs. I have already put what I learn about Prezis to work. The class met my needs not like in a required course for college but also in my learning style. I'm a hands on learner  this class wasn't "hands on" but it also was not a simple write this paper class. I took what I learned in this class and used it in other things classes. Like I said this course is fun and interesting because its not a "write this paper" class. I feel that the course environment was in some ways good and others bad. It was good that we could focus however we need to. On the other side you can get desecrated that way as well. I'm glad I learned you use Prezi, and different kinds of website. I'm also glad I learned to blogged. I do feel that there are some areas of blogging I can improve at.  

Art in a pencil



Most of us will agree with the age-old saying that “patience is a virtue.” How many of you, however, would actually hang on for two years and a half to bring a piece of art into existence? Dalton Ghetti, 49, a Bridgeport artist, has spent 25 good years working with a razor blade, a sewing needle and a sculpting knife for carving his unique art on the graphite of pencil. I find this amazing. I grew up in a wood shop so i know art of craving wood by hand but this is like no other. To have the patience to do this, true patience. He is quoted saying "I don't make money from it but I would love a gallery owner in England to fly me over and put on a show"

Art in a Blog





The blog I pick had tons of art to look at, which was amazing. I was blow away and the detail in the art. The thing I enjoyed most was he didn't only use one kind of art. He was very good at pointing out what was good and bad about the art. He used a even amount of negative and positive comments on the art. He would shorty  talk about each artist as well. This was nice because you would get to know the artist some. In one of the post he had put pictures of the artist at work, which was really cool to see.  

English study Quiz

This quiz was very fun, the questions were not hard but they made you think. It was also being timed so you would want to do it as fast as you could. You would keep try over and over trying to get the best score. It wasnt only fun but also helped me remember the articles of speech. I only got three wrong on my first try... that was an 80%. Oh well. By far this was my favorite grammar game we played it was fun and educational.

Advanced Tutorials

I got to be real with you this didn't do anything for me. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed reading though and seeing the different examples. The thing I noticed about this and some others that are not games is that they are boring and lose my interest. The ones that are games keep you interest because we are not just reading a page of "notes".

The confused

The confused words was very interesting to me because there is so many times that I will see people use the wrong word in place in their writing. I enjoyed reading the captions of when to use each word. I never knew the you should never use hopefully in a conditional phase. Instead use I hope. This was fun to just sit and go though them and learning some things i didn't know

Magical Capitals

This game was very simple. The only thing it helped me remember was that words that may not normally be capitalized could be a name of a company. I did enjoy this game though, because when you got something wrong the fairy was evil and flipped out ... I thought is was funny
