Today Jacob helped me solve challenge 83. I attempted to solve the next challenge, but I still need to continue that challenge.

Today I watched Chase's video and commented on it saying that he described the codes very well. I also commented on Stephanie M.'s video and commented on it saying that it was a great descriptive video that teaches well on how to solve her challenge. The last person I commented on was Jacob's video. I said that it was a video that is understandable and can explain to me how to accomplish this challenge.

 Today I went back to completing Code Monkey and asked for some help for a refresher. I completed 1 or 2 challenges today, but because I forgot a little bit on how to solve challenges 81-82, I didn't solve as much challenges as I usually do.

Today I finished filming my video. The changes I made was to not add any cutouts, shorten what I was going to describe during the tutorial, and change the way I was going to present the tutorial.

  Today I recorded another video to see if the one I made today would be better than the one I made on Monday. I also decided not to add any cut-outs because I thought the video would still be successful without the cut-outs. I lastly experimented with iMovie to see if I could add any effects to make the video more interesting and appealing.

Today I recorded my practice video to see which one would work best. I chose this video because there was minimal sound within my surroundings. I thought that the audience would be able to hear me best in this video than the others I've recorded. 

11/8/16

Today I experimented with the camera that I used. I wanted to know how to zoom in and zoom out so there would be enough room to show my cut-outs.

video maybe?

Today I practiced and planned what I was going to present and the order I should present it in.

       Today, I started making a storyboard for teaching a tutorial on Code Monkey. I began to design what to teach first starting with what is presented in the code given and then explaining how to solve the puzzle. 

CodeMonkey Challenge #78

10/6/16

  I chose this puzzle because it has a mix of functions and new directions that could be challenging to solve. In this puzzle, they introduce matches, a pile of matches, and a mouse. They also introduced functions that I could talk about in a tutorial to make it more easier to solve. In the tutorial, I could include a visual to explain how each object works and what the general objective is.

Skill Builders CodeMonkey 4-13 and Challenge 69

9/30/16

I saw that there was no island for the monkey to step on to get to the banana. So I saw that the turtle could help get the monkey to the banana. I began using the variables d and m. I used d to represent the distance the turtle should take to get to the island and m to represent the distance the monkey should take to get on the turtle. I then said for the turtle to step the distance to the island across from it so that the monkey can step the distance to get on the turtle to get to the banana. Another solution that I could have made after the monkey was on the turtle, was for the turtle to turn to the banana and step the distance to the banana instead of going backwards from the island and then turning to the banana. This puzzle was a little challenging but after experimenting different codes, I saw there were various solutions that could be made to get to the banana.

I saw that there were 4 crocodiles that needed to act like a bridge for the monkey to get to the bananas. I began this challenge by starting with a variable. The variable that I chose was c to represent the crocodiles so it could turn to the monkey. Then I used the variable i to represent the islands. I then told the monkey to turn to the islands instead of falling into the water. The monkey then stepped the distance to each banana then making the monkey turn back to the raft each time it gets a banana. With using the loops, its useful because you wouldn't have to repeat the same codes each time you would need it. This puzzle was also challenging , but trying new and different codes each time can lead you to the objective.
