iPhoto Name Reflection

1. Upload your slideshow as a movie to your blog posting. [If you have trouble with this, check to see that you exported it in the correct format.]

2. List the search terms (words) that you used to find images (for the letters of your name and the images that describe you) and why?

3. What skills did you use/learn in this project?

4. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation.

5. This was a more creative project than our first 2. Did you prefer it or the more cut and dry assignments in Word and Excel?

6. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc., How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?

1.

2. For most of the letters I found off the internet I went to Google Images and googled things like "objects that look like the letter (insert letter)". For my pictures of one of my N's and my R, I thought of things that look like that letter, like the St. Louis Arch for an N, or a faucet for an R.

3.I learned how to work iPhoto and how to upload pictures from Photo Booth to iPhoto and make a slideshow out of them.

4. I could use these skills in the future to make other projects using the slideshow in iPhoto.

5. I think I do better when I follow step by step directions like the first two projects. However, I did like being able to be creative and making this project into what we want it to be.

6. I repurposed and added value to the pictures and the music by using them to describe myself.

Charity Letter Reflection Page

1. Take a screenshot of your charity letter and add it as a picture to your blog posting.

2. List the name of your business and its charity.
My business was Coca-Cola and my charity was the American Red Cross

3. How did you get the audience’s attention in the first paragraph?

 I described to them what kinds of services the American Red Cross does.

4. What skills did you use/learn in this project?
I mail merged contacts into my letter so it would send the letter to multiple people.

5. What was the easiest part of this project? What was the most difficult part of this project?
I thought the easiest part of the project was finding contacts for the letter using a website online.

6. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation other than writing a charity letter.
I could use this by sending a letter to multiple people.

7. Did you learn something new during this project that you did not know before?  If so, what? 

I learned how to mail merge contacts into a letter.

1. Take a screenshot of your spreadsheet and add it as a picture to your blog posting.

2. What is a template? [If you use an definition from an online source, be sure to tell me from what website it came.]

3. What tools/functions in Excel did you use to create your project?
4.  What other skills did you use/learn in this project?
5.  What “extras” (colors, decorations, etc.) did you add to your project?
6.  What are some other uses you may have for a simple excel spreadsheet?

2. A template is a generic model of something that helps you create something.

3. I used AutoSum to add the candy, and to average the number of different colors in each of the bags.

4. I learned how to highlight to different columns so when I averaged the numbers I could control where the average showed up.

5. On the Pie Chart I changed the colors so they would correspond to the color on the M&M's.

6. Other uses might be making lists, creating a financial budget, or managing an event or a project.

About Me

I would like to learn how to use PhotoShop and other applications available on my computer. I would like you to talk to me about my grades through email. 

This is a picture of me scoring a goal in one of my hockey games. This represents me because hockey is my favorite sport and I have been playing it for almost my whole life.
