Lesson 9 challenge

Complete a lesson or a challenge using one of the resources described above. Take a screenshot of your finished product to include in your blog post about the experience. Explain how you might use this resource personally or professionally. I completed a lesson from Google's Made with Code in which I had to arrange blocks so that a character named Riley from the Pixar movie  Inside Out could slide down a stair rail. I found it a little frustrating at first but finally got it to work.  I might use this resource personally to entertain my cousin's children when they come to visit during the Summer. I might use this resource professionally to get a young girl interested in computer science or maybe to keep children occupied while their mothers finished an application in the computer area. 

Lesson 8 challenge

I tried to get someone to  get together with me  on Google hangouts from the branches, but I think everyone is too busy. So, I imagine things working like this.

I am on a committee for program planning. The meeting is at Encino and I work at Central.

1. The benefits of having the meeting online rather than in person. Less stress,no driving, no wasting gas or cursing in heavy traffic. People don't have to drive to meet online. It is easier than talking on the telephone and emailing back and forth, though. 
2. Any challenges, inconveniences, or issues you encountered. What if we have problems with the sound? What if there is a delay? 
3.  If you would meet online with this person again. Yes
4.  If you would meet with anyone else online, and who might that be. I might meet with colleagues who live in another city instead of attending a professional conference. 
5. Would a traditional in person meeting have been better? Why

Traditional face to face meetings are always better. It is just easier to iron things out when you can sit across from someone and really see their facial expression. It seems more engaging.
