1. Maya's App

2. Review of Thunkable

Thunkable is the website to create your original app without coding language. 

I have created more than seven apps in this website. I have created apps with function of camera, image recognizing, speaking, translating, and so on. I can simply add these function by dragging the specific column into the phone shaped foundation. There is also blocks tab and I needed to organize more detailed function there. I can choose the role of the button here (click button to open the camera, make it speak, change the background color, and so on). This is little complicated and I still need tutorial to add a complex function. However, by using the website Thunkable, I think we can create apps more easily than by coding.

1. What do you already know?

I know how to use shortcut keys. 
Also I just learned the way to add table,
 to change the background color of post by adding code in HTML, 
and to make banner, avatar, and favicon.

2. What do you want to learn?

I want to learn how to create a 3D images. 

I know how to draw or design 2D pictures, but I don't know how to make them 3D or to animate them. 
Not only that but also I want to learn any advanced and fundamental skills of computer.

3. How will computers fit your future?

I will use computer daily and maybe use them for job I would gey in the future. By using computer, I can save time and money a lot. 
In addition, I think computer skill will be required for many kinds of jobs and the skill must be necessary to get work done efficiently.
