Images











Find an image of a LEGO RobotWhat is it? What can it do? What can you make it do?Find an image of a cool Logo that you really like.What is it for? Do the colors mean anything specifically? Why do you like it so much? its a robot that looks like a weird old creature. it can move, pick up things, and you can program it to do what you want.whatever you want to make it do.

the logo is for a skateboarding company. the colors are just there because they thought they were cool looking colors to put on the logo. I like it because it advertises skateboarding and the brand of the company.



If you created a logo for yourself, describe it here. Why would you choose the things that you choose? Do a very rough sketch in paint and paste your picture here.

i would choose the things i choose because it means alot to me and i am super john to the rescue.



If you could create any static cling for your car window or bedroom window, what would it look like and why? Be specific! Tell me the colors too! it would be the best on ever and it would say no trash or its your a**. it would have trash cans on it and some flies flying around it. the colors would be black and gray mostly with a little bit of color in it not to much though more like a cartoon.








You may choose your favorite vacation spot or your favorite sports team. You might even want your personal GHS sports team and number. Do a very rough sketch in paint and paste your picture here.

My Game " Slam Ball"

slam ball is my game and i created it because it is fun and exciting for everyone of the age limit to play. slam ball is a game designed for people to play and take the game of basketball to the extreme. it involves bone-crushing, head splitting, mind jolting, and grusom, actions never seen before in the game of basketball. i rate this game M for mature because of the graphic in the game is to violent for some users to see. this game is designed for users to take control of the game and exceed the players highest expectations. this game is designed to play on any game system so that anyone of the age limit can play. game systems include playstation 2, x box, playstation 3, x box 360
sprites of this game are: players- they are the main sprite of the game, and are the outcome of who wins the game, trampoline- is the sprite in which the players use to exceed their highest expectations on their jumping ability, ball- the players use this to score and hopefully win the game, basket- is the sprite used for the players to shoot in and or jamm it in.
i choose to allow this game to be played on any system so that anyone who has a game system can play it and it not just be restricted to one gaming system.
I designed this game so that people can take the game of basketball to the limits in which it has never been before and have a challenging obstacle along the way.

Cyber Bullying

Name: John Gibson

Article link: http://www.isafe.org/imgs/pdf/education/CyberBullying.pdf

Article Title: The Effects of Cyber Bullying: Teen Takes His Own Life
Summary: Awhile ago 13 year old son Ryan took his own life. Ryan was an outwardly happy -go-lucky kid with two loving and supportive parents. Ryan did not leave a note and his peers at school did not give the counselors and police any logical reason for his actions. Ryan had been Imed by another boy who had been sexual harassing him in harsh ways.
2nd Paragraph: I think that he should have not tried to bully back because that had only made the situation worse. I don’t agree that it was the computers fault that he had killed himself I believe that the people he talked to and had back to back conversations with had a lot to do with his death.
3rd Paragraph: The article never said anything on the boy who had been bullying Ryan, never said a name or anything. Ryan the one who was being bullied nights after the last incident of the bullying had taken his own life.
4th Paragraph: His parents could have been contacted and they could have been aware of the bullying if Ryan would have told them. Ryan could have just ignored the bully and not try and bully him back.
5th Paragraph: This applies to me because I believe that this could happen to anyone in the world including me, but I believe that I would not go and take my own life for what someone else thinks of me. This could effect my family because if I was ever being bullied I would be sure to notify them and let them know what is going on so that maybe they could put a stop to it so that I would not have to deal with it.
