App Review
categories: Science 9, Uncategorized
DEFINE: I need to find an app to help me learn and memorize the names of the elements on the periodic table, what periods and grounds the elements are in and their atomic mass.
DREAM: Find a way to quiz myself on the elements of the periodic table through a digital way being able to easily understand it.
APP: Periodic Table Quiz
DELIVER: The app that I discovered is called “Periodic Table Quiz”. It’s very easy to understand, and has many options on what to learn. If you go into the play option there is 27 levels. There’s 6 different options of what to get quizzed on. The first is name to symbols, the second is symbols to names, the third is the atomic number, fourth the periods, fifth is groups and the sixth is blocks. When I choose to do a quiz it tells me the instructions right before I start which I like a lot. Then is has the name of the element or symbol and it gives you 4 options to select from, if you get it right you move onto the next question, if you get it wrong you stay on the same one until you get it right. There’s also a learning option, it was the same questions as the play option but this one doesn’t time you, it does give you a percentage on how many you get right.
DEBRIEF: Overall I enjoyed this app, it helped me memorize information about the elements in a fun way. The only think I would change is to add chemical compounds into the play option.
The Sea Devil: Comic strip

“In front of him, the bay stretched dark and silent.”
“He liked to go casting at night.”
“He took the net from the bucket, slipped the noose in the retrieving rope over his wrists.”
“He felt the net quiver, and knew it was not empty. He swung it dripping over the gunwale, saw the broad silver side of the mullet quivering, saw too the gleam of a smaller fish. He looked closely to make sure no stingray was hidden in the mesh.”
“He knew in the split second in which thought was still possible, that those twin swirls had been made not by two mullet, but by the wing tips of th giant ray.”
“He kicked himself backward with his remaining strength and the rope parted and he was free.”
“He saw the mullet he had just caught, gasping its life away on the floor boards of the skiff.”
“He knew then, he would never do no more casting alone at night.”
Adding and Subtracting fractions
categories: Math 9
For my visual representation of adding and subtracting fractions I did 3/5 and 1/2. First I found the common denominator which was 10. I multiplied the 3 and 5 by 2 to get 6/10 and then 1 and 2 by 5 to get 5/10. I then cut my apple into 10 pieces.
For .my addition I added 6 apples out of 1o and then 5/10. Which gave me 11/10 because 6 + 5= 11
. 
So in total I had one apple and 1/10
Then, for my subtraction I started with 6/10 apples and then took away 5/10 apples. This subtraction gave me 1/10 because 6-5=1.
In total I have 1/10 apples left

Digital Footprint
categories: Math 9
How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give two examples.
One example of your digital footprint affecting your future is if you’re applying for a job. Nowadays, the person that is hiring you will look you up on the internet to find more personal information. Therefore, if inappropriate images or something bad that you’ve said comes up when searching you; even if it’s from years ago, you could be denied a job position.
Another example on how it could affect you is when you’re applying for university or college. This example has similar reasons to the first one. The only difference is, is that now the place you are applying at will deny your education because of something inappropriate you could have done years ago.
Describe at least 3 strategies you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe
The first thing to do to keep yourself safe on the internet is to make all your social media accounts private. This prevents people you don’t kn0w from seeing your pictures, tweets, etc and keeps them from direct messaging you.
The second thing you should do is make sure your passwords are very secure. This will make it harder for people to hack you. Also don’t use the same password for everything. If somebody finds out your password for one website, or app they now have the password for all of your accounts.
Finally, to maintain an appropriate digital footprint, you should follow the guidelines of the site. don’t post pictures with nudity, use course language and mention alcohol and drugs. Also don’t follow any accounts that have this content. Another way to maintain appropriate is to not say anything racist, sexist, or anything on those lines.
What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them?
I’ve learned that everything you do online is recorded. Everything you’ve searched on the internet and every website you’ve been on. Its not just what comes up when searching you that’s on your document.
If the topic came up in a conversation I would tell them to never say or do anything inappropriate online, as well as even though you’ve deleted something, its never actually erased from from your digital file. Also to keep your accounts on social media private.
