Systems blog : 

Systems blog When creating this system there were flaws and benefits. One of the flaws was that that the people rotating and the people sitting were not meeting each other so you only met 50% of the class. A way to fix this is to split the class in half and have them go and talk to everyone they hadn’t met yet in the game.

Mission: Haiti : 

Mission: Haiti A horrible tragedy occurred recently. A super strong earthquake attacked the poor little island of Haiti. So many have died numbers estimated about 200,000. But people are still dying and struggling to survive. So many people have stepped in to help and are doing all they can to get people out of there. There are people who have adopted Haitian orphans and do not know if they survived. The strength of the quake was a 7.0 on the Richter scale. Omni has raised over $5,000 in efforts to help.

Video blog post : 

Video blog post Yesterday we did a 30 second video. It went well because we finished and it was fun. My favorite part was making people’s voices sound weird, and working the cameras. Lydia was not here so Stephanie and I were flying solo. And it happened to be that Lydia is the smartest person on our team. We decided that we didn’t need to plan much so we just went with the flow. The Mac was cool but confusing. Stephanie and I had a really hard time, and Mr. Goldstein took forever to come and help us so I was getting really pissed off!!! We finished the movie and posted it. It is easier on a PC. Next I would like to do claymation.
