It was so easy to create a video using wevideo.com. All you had to do is to look for some nice pictures, upload them and decide how long you want to display the image.

Web based editing tools
pixlr.com

Edited picture
Changed the hue→Changed the colour balance (Red Offset and Green Offset)→Put a filter called Noise
What I appreaciated in pixlr.com is the history bar on the left bottom that I marked with a red square. It shows you every step you did and if you click the sentence the picture will go back to that stage. This is useful if you make a mistake. You can also check the difference you just made with the operation. As this website was similar to Photoshop is was easy to use.

Blemish fix→Eye shadow→Eyebrow pencil
This website had many editing tool for your face. You can put make up on so easily. It was unfortunate that I couldn’t use some tools because I am not a premium member, but overall it is a very useful editing website.

Cutout in a circle→Funky Focus→Apply a cartonizer
There were some unique features in this website. As the name indicates, filters that make the picture were abundant.

HDR effect→Insert a text African Grey→Round the corner
This website allows you to round the corner of the picture which it somewhat a rare tool. Filters were unique and there were many kinds of texture you can apply.
I found out that online editing tools are very useful. As there are a lot of websited like this you can find a tool you want for sure.
Hour of Code Recap
Last week we spent our computer graphics class to do Hour of Code. Here’s what I did.
I finished the Karel Hour of Code exercise. Through this course I learned how to command a character, Karel. I typed in and ordered the code, and also made a new function (I made a function for Karel to turn right since he could only turn left). I can use this experience in the future to create an app by myself or code anything. I also learned that typing in the exact code is very important. For example, if you forget to type it with a capital letter the computer will not understand the code.
This is a badge of SQL course. I learned how to select and display a particular data from a table. I thought this application is more practical than JavaScript. This could be very useful for the future since you can use this skill to organise a group more easily.
Hour of Code
We are doing Hour of Code in Computer Graphics class as December 7-13 is the international Computer Science Education Week!
Through this project, I would like to learn computer programming like making games. It is great to be able to command your own character and make the rules by yourself. JavaScript is the programming language that is likely to be used to design a game. In Hour of Code there are five courses you can use to learn JavaScript.

I finished these courses⇒ Build a Game with JavaScript (Code Avengers), Learn to Code with Karel the Dog (Code HS), Codecademy

Internet Safety
Have you ever thought of being in trouble for what you’ve done on the Internet? Internet is a very nice convenient tool if you use it correctly but if you are not aware of what it can cause you could get in trouble.
Do you confirm a friend request from a stranger? Many teenagers today do but what is a problem of that? Imagin you are followed by a stranger in real life. You are reveiling all your information to them. Do you post something you would want to hide from the school (current school or even the school you are appling to) or from your parents? You better not. Everyone can access to your information uploaded. Even if you think you can delete it, you can’t. You can never delete it completely.
Although I don’t post many photos on social network, my profiles were set public, which means strangers can see my information. After I learned Internet safety in class, I set it private so that the information are protected.
