I loved this class, one of my favorite pieces of technology that I wasn't already introduced to was synchronous video chatting, it has come in handy not only for keeping in touch with my parents but also doing face to face interviews for a couple of my other assignments for school, I wouldn't have even thought of this as an option before this class. I will definitely be careful with technology in my classroom and make sure that I'm not just using it to use it but for a specific purpose that I want students to learn. I don't have any unanswered questions at this time but with some of the technological skills I've learned in this class I'm sure I will be able to find the help I need when the time comes.

Directions: Use Google sketch-up to create a 3D rendering of a kitchen design that follows the five principles of design. Explain how your design follows each principle.
Principles of Design:
1. Scale and Proportion
-uses human scale making sure that everything is in proportion to the height, reach, and special necessities of the average human.
