PODCAST!!!!

This podcast project was not one of my favorite projects we have done to be honest. I did not like having to record my voice because i thought my voice sounded weird and also because i was reading the script but i kept messing up. So it took many takes to get it right. I also had to talk faster because i had to fit it into 2 minutes. I did like getting to change how my voice sounded. i used a little of the effects but for fun i just played around with it and made dramatic changes. It was really cool how different you could make your voice. My final project, everyone said it was really good but I didn't at first. I made it so usually the creators criticize their work but after we played it in class i thought it was not to bad. It was pretty good!

Story Boards

We had a project done in groups and my group was a good group. Our subject was softball at Peoria Notre Dame. It was Lucky we had someone in our group who plays softball, so they knew all about it. We interviewed one of our teachers who helps with softball, Miss. Schallou. This project was easier than i thought it was going to be. I keep thinking there is something we are missing in our project but we met all the requirements. It was fun because we put our own style on it and put pictures of one of our group members playing softball. We also have a few other pictures of other Peoria Notre Dame softball players playing softball. I thought this project went very well.

iPhoto project

I loved this project. My favorite part of this project was taking the pictures for the project. I also used a flip video to video tape me doing cheerleading things and i put it in my computer and i got frame by frame images. I loved uploading them and picking them out from the videos, doing all of the adjustments. Doing all of the cool effects on iphoto was also fun to do. I love doing these kinds of projects because it is a fun way for us to show our creativity. I already knew how to use iphoto and everything it was not anything new to me.

M&M Project

I liked the M&M project. To be quite honest my favorite part was the designing of the different fonts and all of the creativity to show. It was a good choice in candy to use. I learned new things to do on Microsoft Excel and I had forgotten how useful Microsoft Excel can be. A way it can be even more fun for us is to maybe have us pick a subject like favorite sports or something and we can take a survey. We would clarify who we asked and all the details. I would use this in other classes to keep organized, to keep grades together or for other projects in other classes.

Charity Letter

For this assignment on the charity letter i had some different inputs on it. I liked the subject i chose, Alzheimer's disease. It is a disease that is part of my family and it was easy to talk about because my family has so much to do with this disease. I did not like having to make ten different letters when they said the same thing. The biggest reason why was because the way we had to put the addresses, names and all of that was a confusing way to do it. This was a good thing to do to learn how to use it for the future and a good subject for the letters. Although i just didn't like how it could get a little confusing at parts.

Expectations

In this class, I expect to learn how to do more of the advanced things on our macs. I got a mac for my eighth grade graduation so I have been able to adjust to the more simple applications and simple things to do on the macs. I know how to use iPhoto, iMovie, and other applications like that. I want to learn how to go more into depth with these applications and learn other tricks on the computers. I am very excited to create projects and more to share to the class. I am ready to get started in this class.
