My Life Project

I really enjoyed the my life project. I think it was fun to look through all of my old baby pictures and bring back old memories. I really liked to see everyone else's projects too because it felt like I could live through their life with them. It has been very fun to see some of the projects. I am anxious to see the last of the projects tomorrow. It was a very hard project that required a lot of time and dedication to get this one done. I had to work especially hard on getting all the photos just right. I had to do that on power point. It took a good 30 minutes to get all my pictures put together. It was difficult, but I really enjoyed making this project. It was a fun last project to make.

Music Genome Project

I thought the music genome project was one of the harder projects we had to do. It was difficult for me because I had never really gotten a chance to work with iMovie before. It posed a challenge to me in the beginning, but it got easier as I kept working with it and learning the different tools and special effects. My final project was very good for my first time using it. Now its time for the my life project and I really want to do a better job with using iMovie because I know how to work it better. I am very glad my music genome project turned out ok because it was a very big part of learning my computer and it worked very well.

Story board project part 2

I think it worked really well with partners. The interview was great and we had fun working together and sharing ideas with each other. It was so much fun to share ideas and mess around with iMovie until we found something that worked. There were a lot of laughs between the 2 of us. We work very well together in a group because we are so different that it worked to our benefit. The only two members of my group were me and Jaimee but we were done before a lot of other groups were because we didn't mess around like other groups did. When we were in tech we dedicated all of our time to the project because we didn't want to have to worry about it during our other projects. We worked hard and we are all caught up with everything we have to do and we are just waiting for another project to come along to work on.

Podcast Project

I like the idea of a podcast project. I had to do a podcast in eighth grade and I really enjoyed it. I hope we get to do more projects like this because I had a great time recording and playing with all the little gadgets on the garage band. I liked how you got to pick your own movies to do because it will reflect my style in movies. Also how you didn't really have any restrictions about what you could and couldn't do. The only thing I thought was remotely hard was making it longer than 1 minute because my movie didn't really have much to it. I chose the Blind Side and that really is just about a guy who gets adopted by a family and goes into the NFL. It was just about his struggles and triumphs.

Storyboard

The storybook project is very enjoyable. I like to work with partners. I am enjoying the partners because it is makes less work for me. I like to share the work with someone who I get along with too. I like the fact that we get to choose what we wanted to do our project on. I am enjoying the project because it will be very fun. We get to interview the person who in my project would be Ms. Connon. I think this project will really help the incoming freshman because I didn't have any of these videos and I was pretty lost. I had to come into a brand new school and I had no idea what to do. It was a pretty scary experience because I didn't know what to expect and i did not know what I could join or what i could experience at my new school.

Name Project

I think that the name project was very fun. I learned a lot about my computer by doing all the different  steps. It was very difficult for me because i am not good at computers. I did have my people at the table to help me with everything. With this project we all ended up helping each other with what to do. It was a fun project though because you got to pick the pictures and the song. The one thing that was limiting me was the language in the song but she checked it and it was fine. So pretty much I got to pick everything that was in my slideshow. I liked the freedom we had for this project because normally you have guidelines to follow, but this time there was almost no guidelines. It was all about me.

Charity Project

I think the charity project was a little fun. It had us use our imagination which was kinda fun. I also liked the fact that we could express how we feel about the charity of our choice. It was pretty interesting to learn about the different tools we used. I actually did not know any of the tools we used existed. I can now use these when i need to use them for projects or later in life when I have to invite people to something over email I can address them the right way. I did know how to use the documents on google already because I had to use it in grade school.
