What we've done:
- Learned how to draw and colour using the tools in the program (straight line tool, oval tool, etc.).
- Learned how to animate by moving an item from one place to another and growing/shrinking.
- Learned how to make functional buttons that start the movie.
- Learned how to add multiple scenes and have different buttons for each of them.
- Learned how to do basic coding in the program to make the buttons function.

5 Tips and Tricks:
1. There are many shortcuts in animate. Some examples are: Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+Enter to play movie, Enter to test movie, and Double-Click on a name to change it.
2.If you find an image, sound, or gif you want to add, simply click and drag it into the Library section, then drag it into the scene.
3. To rotate an object, click Ctrl+T, then the option to rotate it will show up.
4. If you make a mistake or accidentally move something, press Ctrl+Z to correct your mistake.
5. If you want to make some thing move, then stay still, then move again, click on Insert, Timeline, Keyframe on the appropriate frames.

Embedding a SFW:
To embed a SFW into blogger the way we did it, first you need a dropbox account. While in Animate CC, click Ctrl+Enter to create a SFW. That SFW will be saved in the same place you saved your movie. Open up dropbox and drag your SFW into dropbox. Next click share, create link, then copy link. Now open up blogger and create a new post. click HTML, then copy this code into the HTML section:


<embed src="http://dl.dropbox.com/.right/here.swf" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" height="300" width="300"></embed>

Copy your dropbox link in between the first set of brackets, right after src=". Get rid of the s in https, replace www with dl, and delete everything after swf. An error will most likely pop up. If it does, then click "Dismiss". Now click publish. YOU DID IT!

Friday Post. February 2, 2018:

1. This week, we created a new blog for the year. We learned about the Super Blue Blood Moon, where the next Olympics will be, and what the Australian Open is. We also did some coding within our blog and predicted our grades. 

2. The coding we learned this week was how to change our blog posts colours , how to create a table, and how to put images in said table.

3. One piece of technology I depend on is my computer because it's how I do a lot of things, like watch YouTube, edit videos, and play games I can't on consoles or phones. 
     Another piece of technology I depend on is my router. You need a router to access the internet and a lot of things I do require the internet. Without it, I'b be stuck not  being able to do nearly as many things as I'm able to do now. I also wouldn't know nearly as many things about video games and technology as I do now either.

4. In my tech future, I see VR as a much cheaper, less ill-feeling way of entertainment. I also see the graphics and accuracy of VR improving massively. I also see Online currency taking over in the near future. I think physical money will be completely forgotten about and all of our money will be put online. Physical money will not exist.
