What I did was that I made lines so that the unicycle would ride all by itself so that you didn't even have to use the controls. I am not sure what happened, but when I paste that code into the box it doesn't come up with what I made.

First Step:
 * 1) Find ten activities and/or software sites that could be used in my Tech 1, 2, or 3 class.
 * 2) Copy and paste the links to your Final page.
 * 3) Give a brief explanation next to the link.
 * 4) Include the cost of the activity and/or software.

[|Happy Wheels]: This is a fun game that uses all sorts of different maps that can be created and shared. It is free. [|Weebly]: A website design site. It is free. [|Photoshop]: A photo editing program. It is 700 dollars. LEGO Mindstorm: This is a way to build a programmable robot from Legos. The sets vary in cost, but are about 200 dollars. Soda bottle rockets: Using mentos and coke to make a rocket. It is free, but the materials would cost money. Adobe Flash: a graphics and animation software. It costs 699 dollars when you bundle with others. Armagetron: A fantastic game based on the Tron light cycles. It is free because it is on all of Bradfield's computers. Scratch: Basic programming software that can be used to learn how to program. It is free. Geocaching: Hide something with GPS coordinates. Have students use GPS to find it. Can be free or expensive. [|Gamemaker]: A program where you can make your own video game, all with different varieties.

SECOND STEP: Investigate three of the sites below, and one game. Answer the questions for each site you investigate.


 * 1) Do recommend that we use this site/software in our tech class? Explain why or why not.
 * 2) Should I use this site/software in Tech 1, 2, or 3?
 * 3) Explain how I could use this site/software as a project.

First Site: Pixlr 1. I would recommend using this program. I like it because it a simplified version of software, and could be easily used with Photo booth. 2. You should use it in Tech one because it is easy. 3. Have students take photos of themselves with Photo Booth and turn something normal into something fantastic.

Second Site: Build your own coaster. 1. I would not recommend using this program. It is way too easy and it takes 2 seconds to get bored of it. 2. If you used it at all, you should use it in Tech 1. 3. You could just challenge students to make their own coasters, but still don't use it.

Third Site: Scratch 1. I would recommend using this program. I like it because it is a great program for basic programming. 2. I would recommend doing this in Tech 1 to get people's feet wet for programming. 3. You should have students make their own games.
