    Today in MM we went to sketch up and made some cool designs. I personally liked using the follow me the most because i think its cool that you can take a simple shape and make it make a cool looking complex sculpture out of it. I made an almost temple with the follow me which looks very hard but once you get to know the tool its very fun and easy. I think sketch up is very very cool because you can create designs and it can help you become very knowledgeable in this topic.

    Today in MM we looked up a lot of things on the internet. Mr. Donald had us do this Social Media Challenge. We looked up things like how the internet has changed marketing and political landscapes and more. We also listed places and websites we us to interact with people around the world.
