How to make a Stop-motion Animation with LEGO on your IPad

Animating with Lego is fun. I use my IPad to animate and the results look very good. I animate with the Lego Movie Maker app. First create a scene. Take a picture of the scene then move it slightly again then take a picture. You'll see that if you play the pictures the minifigure will look like it is moving. Use a flashlight or lamp to light the set instead of the sun. To create a night scene get your lamp and darken it a bit or you could also use some effects. Give your characters some props or do a little voice acting. If you want to make the minifigure jump. Just hold it at the edge of what the camera can see. For FPS I think 15-10 works best for the animations. Practice your animating skills and experiment a bit. 

A Magical Secret

Magic, a fun and great way to amaze and fool someone and I am going to reveal a secret to one of them. It is a cool prediction trick I invented. It will make your audience ask about how you did it. All you need is a deck of cards and a tiny setup. The setup is to memorize the top card. You're all set up for the magic trick. First, shuffle the deck of cards, but keep the top card on the top. To do this when you cut the deck in half remember the top pack. The top card in the top pack should be the last you're going to shuffle. Cut the deck of cards. Then mark the top card when you cut the deck of cards. Now fan out the cards and let the spectator point at a card. Pointing instead of letting them get a card is important. Because if he/she chooses a different card you could  m,just cover part of the deck with your hand to create an illusion you're grabbing the card the audience chose rather than the memorized card. Now you've got the card show them the card and put the card

Minecraft PE: How to Create a Realm

Do you want to make your own realm! Ok so this is how you do it! First sign in and go to realms. Now tap on the button that makes you create a realm. Then name the realm and your finished. You just need to invite your friends to the realms so that they can join. If you are a kid it won't easily allow you. If you tap the button it will give you instructions to do. You might need your parents for this. There is one more thing to tell you. You need to pay monthly. How much you pay depends how much players join your realm.  Have fun with your realm!

Minecraft: How to Survive in a Small Island

In Minecraft a small island with limited resources equals DOOM. There are a lot of ways to die like starving or being killed by mobs. However I got some tips for you to survive. First use the wood there to make a boat. You can also use it to make tools. If there is no wood stay calm and swim to see any bigger island with more resources.   If you can't find any land. Just mine for resources. Use the animals in the land for food. Plant the saplings that the tree dropped to get some more wood. Make some torches to help you mine. You could also make your own mine.  Once you've found a bigger island you can make better weapons and get more resources.  Have fun!

HELE (Helpful, Enjoyable, and not Leaden Education)

HELE, it might be Home Economics and Livelihood Education, but I think of it as Helpful, Enjoyable, and not Leaden Education. Because it is so fun! In my first quarter I did a lot of fun things. The first thing I did is gardening. I was very excited! First we smoothened the dirt. It was a rough time, but just to make it lively me and my brother made some roleplay. We called each other names like Seargent Grass or Twigs. We then measured the land of dirt to place stepping stones. Next we got a pile of grass and planted it all over the dirt halfway there my back ached and I had a hard time to keep a good posture because of it so I got a break. Then we continued and we finished! Even though my back hurts I think it is still worth to turn a floor of colorless dirt into a magnificent grassland!  The next thing I did was taking care of my dog. I always give my dog some water. I also train her to sit. Sometimes I feed her treats. Next is the hardest but a bit fun chore. Taking care of Aki, my
