Introduction to SketchUp

Google SketchUp is a computer program that easily allows you to create 3D objects and models of shapes. This program can be used to create building models that can be later used as a template to build to scale.
This is an example of SketchUp's capabilities:

Unit 1 Reflection

The thought of making my own business venture was very scary at first. I thought that starting off from scratch would be too difficult and complex that I wouldn't understand anything that was asked from me. However, using the tools that were provided, I found my business building quite fun and being the boss of everything meant that I could make the form sheets to my liking. My problem is that I never could take charge of anything and make decisions because I need to have it approved first of all by someone, but this project was very self oriented and I liked being able to control how things would eventually play out. I absolutely loved using Google docs, when this semester is over I will clear out all my emails and carry on using it. I find it more reliable to upload everything onto the cloud than having a flash drive that could potentially be lost and corrupt in some way. My project was very good in my opinion i thought of all the tiny details, and I stressed over them to make them perfect, asking Mr. Gill about everything in order to clarify his tasks. I used my time wisely and I kept on asking other people for help when I was running out of ideas on solving a problem. The only thing I wish I learnt how to use properly was excel, however using google docs was easy as well and made the experience more artsy.

Business Proposal

My business, The Baking Room, will manage the production of a healthy line of sweet treats. The business's main goal will be to create a line of treats that will be modified to combine decadent flavours and bursting health benefits with half the fat of a normal treat. The product list with the price range and nutrition value will include:

◦   Cupcakes

                        Vanilla Cupcake (1.2 KD, 100 cal)

                        Chocolate Cupcake (1.3 KD, 110 cal)

                        Caramel Cupcake (1.2 KD, 110 cal)

                        Cinnamon Cupcake (1.2 KD, 100 cal)

◦   Cookies

                        Chocolate Chip Cookie (500 fils, 100 cal)

                        Double Fudge Cookie (750 fils, 120 cal)

                        Amaretti Cookies (500 fils, 50 cal)

                        Peanut Butter Cookie (500 fils, 110 cal) 

◦   Brownies

                        Simple Brownie (1.2 KD, 100 cal)

                        Peanut Butter Brownie (1.5 KD, 120 cal) 

                        Cheese Cake Brownie (1.5 KD, 130 cal)

◦   Pies

                        Cherry Pie Slice (1.5 KD, 140 cal)

                        Blueberry Pie Slice (1.5 KD, 130 cal)

                        Raspberry Pie Slice (1.5 KD 130 cal)

                        Caramel Apple Pie Slice (1.5 KD 130 cal)

◦   Bars

                        Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bar (1 KD, 130 cal) 

                        Oatmeal Almond Bar (1 KD, 130 cal)

                        Oatmeal Peanut Bar (1 KD, 130 cal) 

                        Oatmeal Mixed Nut Cinnamon Bar (1 KD, 130 call) 

My target audience will be people who have a hard time sticking to a healthy life style and are tempted by high fat high calorie treats. By eating these products people will enjoy the decadent flavours that have been crafted to taste like a regular baked good. The people will also benefit from products with high fiber, healthy fats and lower sugar than when eating a regular baked good. This will include children, adults and elderly people who need help staying healthy. 

I believe this business will be successful because it is natural to want to eat tasty food without getting fat. By buying our products consumers will be in advantage to a great amount of health benefits with all the taste. 

Welcome!

My name is Marianne Cole and I am a junior at A.S.K. taking M&M Technology. I took this class because I am technology deficient and I feel like I need to learn how to be more comfortable with it before I go to university. This semester I want to learn how to use different programs and how to use a MAC successfully and safely. My digital footprint score was 6939.
This score is a depiction of my online footprint. This number was formulated because I rarely post photos off a digital camera online, I rarely watch TV, I never buy anything offline and I seldom use Facebook. Though, the three things that I use very often are Twitter, Whatsapp, and Instagram. I don’t spend thousands of my hours online but I do use the Internet when I need it. Cutting back on my digital footprint will require a few steps. To cut back on my digital footprint I think I could stop tweeting as much, post a picture on Instagram every two weeks instead of every week and reduce the amount of Snapchats I send. The less I use the Internet and download or upload things the less my digital footprint will be. The only thing I can’t reduce is the amount I use Whatsapp. It is a very important app that allows me to text anyone I for school information or family business.
