My Life Project

The my life project is probably one of the best projects i have done all year in school. I liked a lot of things about the project. I really liked how we had to find older pictures and i really liked looking at those and remembering those moments. I also really liked that the movie we could be creative with and it was all about us and what we liked. The project also helps you remember how time flys and you got to make the most of the time you have. I also liked that we could put a clip in there and some music which i thought really made it unique.

Music Genome Blog

 I thought that the music project was really fun. You had a lot of freedom in this project. I liked the part where we got to choose what kind of genre we wanted. I picked punk rock. At first I did not know how to really start my project, but then I did my project in powerpoint and just converted it and i thought it worked out really well. I also liked how the project made you discover the history and you really figured out some things u would never know before. This was my favorite project so far in tech. apps.

Robotics IMOVIE

 The imovie project on robotics was not my favorite project so far in tech. Personally, I am not a big robotics person, but i did find the project and research very interesting. I found it very interesting how they put the robots together and their different teams. I was also impressed with how well the team did in the Boilermaker Regional. I didn't like this project since you had to follow so many guidelines. I got the quotes and helped with the questions to ask for the interviews. This project was not my favorite ,but i did find it very interesting and fun.

Summary Movie

 The podcast project introduced me to garageband and the podcast part of it. The podcast was the hardest part because I had to pronounce and get all the words right. I was glad that i got to choose my own movie and tell it my own way. The jingles and the ducking were a nice addition to the podcast and i thought the project was easy, but the sending was pretty difficult and kind of confusing. I don't know if my music was appropriate but i don't think they are that bad. this project was very enjoyable to me and helped me understand garageband application.

Freshman storyboard-Roboticcs

the activity my group did to make the storyboard was Robotics Team. The main reason our group chose this activity was because there was barely any activities left and Nick Wilson is on the Robotics team. He also had a a lot of pictures and videos of the robots and the robotics team. The project was also easier to contribute too when Nick shared the powerpoint on Google Docs. I looked up quotes by Dean Kamen who must have been a pioneer in robotics. We have some quotes from him in the video and we also have a video from the boilermaker regional from this year. The robotics team took first and are going to nationals now.

The iphoto movie

  I thought the iphoto movie i thought was very fun and interesting. I thought it was nice because you could find things that could describe you and it was all about you. I also liked that we go to put music into the slideshow. I am looking forward to seeing other  peoples movies. This was also the first time i have you used iphoto and i had a really good time with it. This has been my favorite technology project that i have done in this class. I liked the different kinds of letters and the pictures at the end. I am looking forward to seeing all the other peoples projects and see how they flow.

Charity Mail Merge

     I thought the charity mail merge project was very detailed and took a long time. The merging was one of the easier parts. The hard part was making the addresses and making them up. That took the most time and I didn't really like that. I thought sharing the document and also saving it was pretty new to me and I had no clue how to do it. The letter i thought was a little bit unnecessary and i didnt think it should have had to be that long. I thought the project was fun and it helped me to learn some new techniques on my computer. I had a good time overall.
