20 Time 3: Meditation and Limited Technology

Today, I researched two more techniques I will try for the next two weeks.  I have found that Meditation and limited Internet and cell phone use will improve stress levels.  I plan to have anyone willing to participate meditate over the weekend before or after doing homework.  The next weekend, I plan to dedicate a day to which no phones are used.  The last two weeks went great as well!  I tested taking a bath and coloring in an adult coloring book.  So far, the best technique has been coloring in a coloring book!!
 

20 Time Week 3

I will use this information in my overall project to help me while writing the script for what my characters will say.

20 Time Week 2

Today, I also learned about story boarding. I learned more about what should and shouldn’t happen in a useful storyboard.

20 Time Week 1

Today, I learned about how to successfully create a storyboard. I learned tips, do’s, and don’ts of successfully creating a storyboard.

I will use the instrumental piece that I found to use in my elevator pitch for the background music. In my final project I will listen to the instrumental to help me learn the song faster. 

 

20 Time Update

Today, I spent our work time preparing and practicing my elevator pitch so that I could present it effectively. The song that I played a part of in my presentation was The Judge by Twenty One Pilots. When I presented, I did pretty well in doing so. I am looking forward to continuing to learn more things on the ukulele this semester.

20 Time 3: Coloring Books and Hot Baths!

Today I researched two different ways of relieving stress.  I found coloring in an Adult Coloring Book and taking a bath.  I also researched the science behind why this will work.  There is no real scientific explanation of why these coloring books relieve stress, but many encourage it and says it works.  I also found that taking a bath may decrease your stress levels.  This is because it stimulates your blood flow and calms your nervous system.  In the next two weeks, I will test these two techniques and have others test them as well!

This week Karleigh & I  officially decided what project we wanted to do for our 20 time. Today for our project we are researching healthy meal options at Fast Food restaurants, that are not only nutritious but fast! Next week for our project I hope that we will begin making/researching different recipes. As of right now everything is up today, and I am not far behind yet! Wish us luck!

20 Time 2/10

Today, I learned how to create a powtoon, and also I'm just brainstorming ideas on what I am going to be doing for taking pictures. I haven't started researching yet, but I hope to be researching next class.

This week I made the final decision on what I am doing my 20 time project on. I started researching my topic. Next week I hope to continue researching. I also hope to set up interviews with college coaches. So far I am staying on my planned course and up to date with what I am wanting to do.

20 Time - Week One

          Today I learned some of the best ways to train your dog to walk by your side; or at least getting him to there. The two ways that I learned go from stopping in your tracks to just walking in the opposite direction when the dog starts to pull on the leash.

The PS4 has better graphics and more frames per second meaning way better game quality. The Xbox One’s facts online are different than what it actually is. I think that they run both the same fps.

Mindfulness Meditation Exploration - W2

Today we learned the numerous benefits of mindfulness meditation. Aside from emotional benefits such as allowing people to form deep connections with one another, there are innumerable physical benefits such as lowering blood pressure and improving sleep. We will ultimately use this information to support our experience with mindfulness meditation. Knowing why you are doing something makes it easier and more beneficial to do in the long run.

Music and Emotion

The past week I just got a start to my project really. I began researching and just trying to find sources that are credible. I'm not entirely sure how this will pan out in the end, but I have a decent foundation now.

20 Time Update

Today I did some more research. I am nervous to present my idea. I hope that some of the things that I have learned by researching will help me out when I give my pitch.

20 Time Update

This week my partner, Elias and I have decided what we are doing for our project. We are researching how to shoot a lacrosse ball faster. After we research we will put it into test. Workouts and videos will be coming your way to see what goes into being able to shoot a lacrosse ball. We are now ready to present our elevator pitch.e

20 Time 2: Starting Up My Project!

These past two weeks have given me the chance to start up my project and get the ball rolling.  I have completed my Proposal and I'm all ready to present it!  I can't wait for others to hear about my project and see how excited I am for it!  I've already tested one technique.  I had my friends chew gum while doing stressful tasks (such as homework).  On average, it received 6 out of 10.  I have decided that I will rate it on a scale of 1-10.  1 will be it made you more stressed, 5 will mean it stayed the same, and 10 means it improved your stress.  Currently, I am testing if drinking tea makes stress levels go down.  So far, it seems to be working!  This project has been really fun so far and I'm excited to keep progressing!!
