This week, I have been working on my digital portfolio for Project Wonder. I have been digging through my google drive, and found tons of things. I have found things I did earlier this year, to things that I did years ago. One of the things I found was a club that I tried to make, “skateboard club”. I then remembered why I stopped trying. 

1. I thought,”It’s going to only be me and probably 3 other people.” So it would not be worth a teacher’s time. 
2. I thought, “Mr. Lobes isn’t here anymore, do any teaches skate? NO!”
3. The school would hate it and think it’s too dangerous and would destroy their property.

These 3 questions stopped me from doing it. I also found a unit I did earlier this year. I did research about the middle ages. I spent days researching it and about a week doing the whole unit. 

On the Project Wonder course catalog, one of the units I made finally was opened up to the public. The unit highways was posted. I finally got 1 of my 5 units that I created opened up to the class. 

When I was searching through my drive, I found a project I did at the beginning of the year. I did research about car engines. I researched 4 different types of engines. 

The digital portfolio has a lot of old projects in it.

 

That is it for my 8th blog.

It’s been a long time since my last blog. Project Wonder is very different this year. This year has units that we can create and then have others do them. It is the same for me, somebody makes a unit and I can choose to do it. I have been creating a lot of units for the class. I have made units about roads, bridges, highways, and skateboarders. I am still making stickers and logos, but my programs are not currently working. I am still trying to fix them. In the past week, we have been inventing a few things. The class has made paper airplanes, and a Rube Goldberg challenge. We made a simple airplane to test and see how far it would go. Then we had a hard Rube Goldberg challenge. The one my group made had dominoes and a zipline. A roll of tape went down a track, tipped over the dominoes, which hit a roll of tape on the zipline, which went down to the finish. In reading, I am reading the book, “Hawk, occupation: skateboarder”. In my opinion, it is the world’s best book. I am looking forward to making more stickers and logos this year.

This is my 7th blog and my first blog from 2020.
