#20 Time

This week for 20 Time Blaine and I went to the baseball field to work on the hitting shell. The hitting shell is what we use to take batting practice. We needed to zip tie the shell because the strong wind has broken the other zip ties and we haven't been able to use it until it's fixed. The only true obstacle we had to overcome was last week it was raining during 20 Time and we never were able to go out. So far I've learned a lot about taking care of the baseball field. The next thing we need to do is to keep winning!

In the last two weeks we've made a considerable amount of progress on the baseball field. Last week we used a wheelbarrow and shovel and filled in the holes in the outfield. We used the dirt from behind the center field fence to fill in the holes. This week Blaine and I hung up the distance marker signs on the outfield fence. 310 on both sides and then 385 to center. The only obstacle that we need to overcome is some more time in the hour so we are able to get more things done. During this project I've learned how to take care of a baseball field the right way and to keep it looking nice. We aren't really sure what's next because all we do is what Coach Acker wants us to do.

This trimester for my 20 time project I'm working/cleaning up the baseball field with Blaine. Our mentor is our baseball coach, Coach Acker. He's our mentor because he knows and tells us what he wants to be done to the baseball field. This week we have taken the tarps off of the field and put the bricks and tires into the dugout. We haven't encountered an obstacle this week. The next thing we will be working on the field is painting the dugouts.

The progress I've made this week on my 20 Time project is finding tutorials on Youtube that helped me learn more about the software. Some of the things I learned this week from the tutorials is how to manipulate different actors and how to create their actions on the screen. The roadblock I encountered was that I still need to do all the creating and designing on my computer at home. The only way I can solve this problem is to work on my 20 Time project at home. The next thing I need to do is keep working/designing at home and to put my new knowledge to the test.

The best super power I would like to have would be to have super strength. Super strength is the best super power because it's needed in every group of super heroes. Mr. Incredible in the Incredibles, The Thing in the Fantastic Four, and last but not least The Hulk in the Avengers. Also the Hulk is my favorite super hero and he's the best.

This week on 20 Time I began designing my app on my computer at home. I learned how to add different components into the app. The problem I still have is that I can only work on my project at home on my computer. The next thing I need to do is to continue designing my game app and then finally finish the app and somehow make it downloadable to other people's phones, ipods, and ipads.

Have you been following the Winter Olympics?

For my Dig the Data Lab I chose the following question to ask to 30 random individuals. The question was have you been following the Winter Olympics? Oddly the results showed that 50% of people have been following the Winter Olympics. I think my answers were the way they were because the Winter Olympics is a pretty special event but some people might not like sports or may have been busy. For the future this means that nothing will change except more commercials and advertisements promoting the Winter Olympics.

This week instead of working on my 20 Time project I worked on the Name Poses Poster that I needed to finish up. I have learned that my 20 Time project is still going to take lots of time to finish. Some roadblocks I encountered was having to get the right pictures to fit together in the right spot. I solved these roadblocks by just playing around with the arrangement of the poses and my name. The next thing I need to do for my 20 Time project is to try and finish designing.

This week for 20 time I decided to work with Aidan and Scotty on our Superbowl commercial instead. We have decided to change our brand name for the commercial from Doritos to Dick's Sporting Goods. We are planning on filming a bunch of funny clips of us playing different sports. The next thing we need to do is to start filming.

The progress I've made this week includes more research on how to start a game app and some more ideas about what is going to go into the game. Some roadblocks I've encountered this week are still that I have to use the my computer at home to work on the designs. The only way to get past these roadblocks are to work on it at home on my own time. The next thing I need to do is to start installing and designing the software and come up with a name for the app.

This week the progress I've made has been downloading GameSalad onto my computer at home. Some roadblocks I've encountered still are that Gamesalad is installed at home so I can't work on it at school. The only way I solve this roadblock is to work on it more at home. My next step is to keep designing and come up with some good ideas for the game app I'm trying to design.
