Time strategies

Time strategies  The articles that I read were the important habit of just starting by Jory Mackay and how to beat procrastination by Caroline Webb I taught the articles were kind of useful some of the stuff they talked about I knew already but some of the information was helpful and inspiring such as getting into the habit of just starting your work and getting it done and telling people that we are going to get the work done can also help you do your work and also to visualize getting your work done can also help you get started instead of procrastinating I hope to use this information to help me get my work done for this semester. Based on the semester last year I think my biggest challenge will be getting all the lab work and big assignments done on time for this module and for other modules and to make sure i do not overlap assignments and try get assignments that are due on the same day done beforehand so I do not have such a heavy workload and I am going to plan all my assig

Technology tools

Technology tools I am looking forward to using all the technology tools for this course the ones I am most interested in would have to be image editing the apps we will be using for this are mac preview or Chromebook image editor and we will be learning how to use a basic image editor for cropping and resizing images I am also interested in graphic creation the apps we will be using for this are canvas, cheezburger, automotivator, padlet, Unity 3D, word press and Graphics creation the app I am most excited to use would have to be Unity 3D because I am excited to create my own game and to learn how games are created. The other technology tools for this course are blogging and bookmarking. I am already familiar with Canvas as I used it last year for digital media to create a story board for my film I am also familiar with Chromebook image editor as I used it before to edit photos I have also used Pinterest before. This online environment is unlike any of my other classes because we

Class assignments

Class assignments The assignments that I am most intrigued by would have to be Unity 3D because I am interested in learning how games are made and I am excited to create my own game and create a story for the game and to add the graphics that I like to the game. Even though I do not play a lot of games myself personally I do play some games and do always wonder how they are made and how they create all the graphics in the games. Unity 3D- Unity                                                         I am also interested in project feedback I do always like to hear how other people feel about my projects and I do like to hear on how I can improve on somethings so that I can get better at it I do also like to give good feedback to other peoples projects and to give advice on how they can also make their projects better if necessary. Project feedback- Project feedback This module is unlike any other module because you have extra credit options which none of the other m

Growth mindset

Growth minds et I have never heard of Carol Dweck before this module but after listening to her Ted talk and her other videos I feel like she is very inspiring but I have heard of a growth mindset before in secondary school and how to expand our mindset. I feel like overall I have a growth mindset and I am open to learning from my mistakes and I am open to learn new things. Since I have started at TU Dublin I feel like my mindset has grown even more because I got to learn so many new things from different modules and from the people in the course and I feel like I have processed it all well one of my biggest challenges was trying to get all my work done for college even though I loved learning new things while also trying to balance a social life. I feel like I would definitely be interested in learning more about growth mindsets in this semester as I feel like I would like to get a better understanding of a growth mindset. I would like to learn more about how to try to keep everythi

Introduction

Introduction Hi my name is Jennifer Moorehouse I am 20 years old I was born on the 24th of August 1999 and I live in Finglas in Dublin with my mother and my sister who is 16 years old who annoys the life out of me I am currently studying creative digital media in TU Dublin Blanchardstown and I am in my second year. In my first year in creative digital media I learned a lot one of my favorite modules last year was photography because I love the art side of it and love that you can be creative and express something through an image I also loved looking at different types of photographers and admiring their work I did learn a lot last year and created a lot of new things such as websites, films, photographs, posters and so much more. I am not too sure what career I want to do in the future but so far I do really like photography/Photoshop and I also feel like web development would be a good career to get into. One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is draw I find it very r

workshop 1

Workshop 1  The traffic light exercise that we did in the lecture for multimedia development gave me a new perspective on how to look at objects that we see regularly every day and to actually think about how they work the topic of how traffic lights work is something that I would not be familiar with but I do see a a pattern in how the lights work. I also did not know how to create a flow chart as I have never done one before but one of the people I was in a group with knew how to do flow charts so I kind of understood how they worked. I enjoyed working in a group because I learned new things and since I didn't really understand how flow charts worked I had help to figure it out and I enjoyed interacting with people instead of figuring it out by myself. I also found out what the pattern was of the traffic lights which was the top and bottom lights would be red and the left and right would be green and the pattern would change every few minutes I also got to hear peoples perspec

Blog week 1

Blog week 1  Hi my name is Jennifer Moorehouse I am 20 years old and I am currently living in Finglas in Dublin and this is my first blog I have ever done.  In my spare time I love to draw I might not be the best at it but something about drawing relaxes me and I also really love art and photography I do have my own camera which is a Nikon so I usually take photos of places that I visit when I have the time. I do not usually play a lot of games but if I do the games that I would play would usually be Nintendo games such as Mario kart and super Mario. I also really like hair and beauty and I would consider myself somewhat good at it I love that you can be creative with it and do whatever style you like.  As this is my first blog I am just going to introduce myself and I hope that I will get better at blogging as time goes on.

Favorite game

Mario kart  One of my favorite games would have to be Mario kart I have played Mario kart for years and I am still in love with the game. Mario kart is a racing game developed by Nintendo who have also developed the game super Mario another one of my favorite games. Mario kart- Wikipedia In the game Mario kart you can compete with up to 12 players and have a selection of different race tracks and a selection of different players and karts my favorite race track would have to be Bowser's castle and my favorite player would have to be princess peach or Mario. There are also 4 tracks in each cup for example mushroom cup(one of the easiest levels/cup) has 4 tracks called Luigi circuit, moo moo meadows, toads factory and mushroom gorge.  Bowser's castle- Wikipedia I usually play Mario kart on the Wii but I used to also play it on my Nintendo dsi in the game on the race tracks there is also a variation of power ups contained in item boxes that you have to drive th
