How has my blogging experience for thiss class been so far? My blogging experience has been good so far. I have really enjoyed everything we have done in the past 2 weeks. I've learned alot of things about blogging and it's reflecting on my grade for this class. Blogging has almost became like a hobby to me beacuase i really enjoy every single thing or task we do. I'm working on improving the bad we design's for my profile for now, but soon my profile will be perfect. I have also met new people from blogging and got a couple of followers from my level 2 class. This has been one of the easiest class assignments. I don't really even consider this an assignment anymore because it's fun and usually theyr'e boring. i really do enjoy blogging and have learned tons of different things from it.

Third Blog- Things I Should Do To Improve My Blog

After Reading The Good Design Features And The Bad Design Features, my blog seem's to be very well designed and managed. There's only one problem with my blog, and that's my big profile picture. I will make sure i reduce the size of my profile picture because it seem's to be a distraction to the people who visit my profile. Other than that I can really say that my blog fall's under the category of a well-maintained blog. My background is completly black so it won't interrupt the text. That way people can read the text with no problem's. My profile doesn't consist of glittry light and fonts or rainbow colors, so it wont be a distraction. My profile consist of only two links and not a ton of unimportant links, so that's a plus. Overall my profile doesn't consist of any bad features. If I do have bad features, I will make sure i change them as soon as possible. Those are the things I've learned about a good and bad blog and the thing's I will be improving in my blog.

What I've Learned About Blogging

A blog is a personal journal where people can post their most recent activity and/or how they feel. It can also be used as a communication resource. There are followers that can see your latest post and comment on how they feel about what you posted. A blog can also help you find and interact with friends or meet new people nationwide and all around the world. There's no doubt in my mind that the blog has really impacted the web in a posotive way. My technology teacher introduced the whole class to the blog on january 5. She explained what a blog was and how it was used around the world. She also informed us that we were going to be using the blog to complete assignments and ppost them on our web. That makes her job easier. That's why i mainly use the blog, but im interested in knowing more about it and having new followers so we could share what we know and how we feel. I would also like to meet new people and make new friends. The blog is certainly something that i enojy doing. I love Blogging now that my teacher introduced me to it. :)

What I've Learned From The Glider Project

1902 Glider

I learned that compared to their previous gliders, the Wrights’ 1902 glider had a much thinner airfoil and longer and narrower wings, which their wind tunnel tests had shown to be better. To improve control, they added a fixed vertical rudder to the rear of the glider. They retained the reliable forward elevator for pitch control but made it elliptical in shape. This information helped me alot when it came time to build the prototype. I knew that all the peices had to be a certain size and everything had to be lined up and the measures had to be exact. This project tought me to be consistant with what im building. It also helped me use what i have learned in the past such as the manufactoring sectors of manufactoring. Putting the things that i knew from the past really helped me complete this project. I can really say it made things easier. I used my time wisely when it came to completing the prototype. Designing and making sure the glider was stable was also important in this project. Overall i really enjoyed this project.
