Name Art

We created name art and themed picture videos on i-photo. It was not that hard. Other than figuring out how to export the project to the teacher it was fairly easy. It took me a while to figure out what pictures to use for the letters. I found a lot of ones that would have worked but they were the wrong size.. Some that were too big I could crop to fit but, most did not crop enough to work. The rest was pretty  much just putting the photos and the song into i-phot to finish off the video. I thought this project was fun overall.

Charity Letter

We wrote charity letters in class. At first I was confused because I was not there the day before so I did not know exactly what we were supposed to be doing. Once I caught up and figured out what we were doing the letter was pretty easy to do. I had a few problems with mail merging but other than that the project was easy to do. I probably would have written the letter a little differently but other than that i would not have changed very much if not anything at all. Thanks to the people that helped me figure things out!

M&Ms

We did an M&M excel project in school. All we had to do was to separate the M&Ms by color and put them in excel, average them, and then make a pie graph. An upside to this project was that we got to eat the bag of M&Ms when we were done. It was a great way to start the morning. The only thing i would have done differently was to make the pie graph a little more interesting to look at. It looks kind of dull. Everything else was good and i would not have changed. Thank you to our teacher for buying the M&Ms!

Expectations

I am not very computer oriented. All I know about computers is how to use photoshop and indesign a little bit. So over all I just want to learn how to use the other things on my computer. I would like to learn how to make good slideshows and small movies or clips and how to add them to a slide show. I know a little bit about computers because of my older brother who knows almost everything there is to know about PCs. But the problem is he only knows about PCs. He doesn't know much about Macs, So I don't know much about Macs either.
