iPhoto Name

Copy the questions below and paste them into your blog post.

Number and answer each question in complete sentences.

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? I didn't use any terms to because I wanted to take all my own pictures.

3. What skills did you use/learn in this project? I learned to make a slideshow. I've only ever made an album and then clicked slide show. I didn't know you had to make it a slide show instead of an album.

4. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation. YOu could use them to make a slide show of your vacation pictures to share with your family who doesn't have facebook. (My family does this all the time.)

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? I enjoyed this one more because it was more expressive and I was able to show a bit of who I am. =)

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.? I cited my music, and I added new value to it by giving it my pictures and personality.

Copy the questions below and paste them into your blog post.

Number and answer each question in complete sentences.

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. Currclick.com we had a fundraiser where you could possibly win an iPad.

3. How did you get the audience’s attention in the first paragraph? I informed the recipient of my position at Currclick and then told them we were hosting a charity.

4. What skills did you use/learn in this project? I learned to merge mail. before I never even knew that was possible. I only knew how to "Reply All"

5. What was the easiest part of this project? What was the most difficult part of this project? The easiest part was writing the letter. the most difficult was the actual mail merge. I couldn't figure out how to do the basics and I couldn't find the button. ;p


6. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation other than writing a charity letter. You could use them for your company. If you had to send out a mass invitation or a mass letter for work, this would be the simplest way.


7. Did you learn something new during this project that you did not know before? If so, what? I learned the importance of following ALL of the directions. If I had read them through before, I would have understood how to do the work much faster.

My m&m Chart take 2

1.

2. A template is a framework for web pages and sites.

3. I used the transparency function to make a faded out background for both my graph and for my chart. I used the font edit options to change the color, font and make the font bold. I used auto sum to find out what the average, sum and percents were for my number of M&Ms.

4. I learned how to easily do math work for a spreadsheet. I learned how to take a screen shot (Command, shift, 4) in a format where you can select what you are taking a picture of. I learned that if you press Command, Shift, 3, then you take a picture of your entire screen. I've never known how to take a screen shot before this class.

5. I added different colors for each word. I used backgrounds for my graph and my chart. I changed the font to a more playful or child-like font, which reminded me of candy.

6. From both this experience (in class) and asking my Dad about his work, I've learned there are many uses for Excel Spread Sheets. You can use them to keep track of finances. Number of products, numbers and averages of a specific item. I once used excel for a science project. We used the Spread Sheet to document plant and seed growth and to see how the different seeds grew in different conditions.

About me (take 2)

  • I hope to learn about different ways to use my computer that will make using it more fun.
  • I like to use net classroom for my grades, but I wouldn't mind and email either.
  • I think the picture below best represents me because It is very artistic and I really enjoy art. It also reminds me of the outdoors which I also enjoy. Pandas are just about my favorite animal and they're in the picture below.
