QR Code Creation

Robotics Clip

Twitter Post

Using the website QR Stuff I want you to create two different QR Codes. Please take a moment to scan each QR to see what happens.You must use two different data types for example, I used a YouTube Video, a Twitter post, and two different URLs.  Take time to change the color and play with the web address settings. Post both of your codes to your blog. Please add
captions to your QR codes like I did in your post and write a few short sentences about what your responsibilities are for the QR School Tour.

iPhoto Slideshow - Principles & Elements Assignment

Now that you are a photography expert, you will show the class your skills. Create an iPhoto slide show of your 12 elements & principles of design. Use text to label each element & principle. Be sure to have a title slide and use a theme for your show. When you are finished with your show, create a new blog post and talk about your favorite photos and why you like them. Your homework for the weekend will be to watch 5 of your classmates shows and make one comment on a photo that they took.

Principles & Elements of Design

Had tons of super fun learning about the principles and elements of design. I am really enjoying using my digital camera and learning lots about it. I used iPhoto to create this picture slideshow. It was really simple to use and took me just minutes to create!

So Far Behind!

Blogs have so many purposes, they are used to keep family in touch, people write about their lifestyle, and some are for ranting...I don't normally like to go there, but here it comes. For those of you who are all caught up and on the ball, I truly appreciate your work ethic specifically: Chelsea, Morgan, and Bailee. As for the rest of you this is your wake up call, if you do not have these assignments done by Friday at 3 pm, I am putting in zeros and you WILL be FAILING this class. I cannot allow you to leave the school with so much uncompleted work. Therefore you need to get your act together. This is what your blog posts should look like:

• Tech Review of WeVideo
• Your About Me Video
• Tech Review of Animoto
• Review of some of the best apps that you saw (see my blogpost)
• Blog post of 4-6 digital photo examples that you shot telling which ones you liked and what camera setting you were using and the ones you didn't like and the camera setting.
• You were also required to update you blogger profile with a picture and some information.

App Reflection...

Just a few apps that we used...

On today and Friday, you watched many demonstrations of different Google apps. Take some time to tell me which apps you thought were useful and why you thought so. Since we saw so many apps about photo manipulation, which one did you think was most useful? Which would you use? Why? Remember to respond with two or three paragraphs and add at least one graphic. Also tell me what did you think of the exercise. Did you like learning something new? Did you like or dislike presenting, did you feel you got any useful information from the presentations. Be honest this is helpful for deciding future activities for this class.

Time for You To Become the Teacher

Today I showed you a wonderful online photo editing tool that can be used when you don't have access to Photoshop but still want similar tools and options. I am a big advocate of using Freeware as most of us would agree why pay for it when you can find it online for FREE! Not only did I show you the tool but I also explained how to use it and gave you a short demonstration. Here is your next assignment.

Very similar to Photoshop but it's FREE!

You need to go into the Chrome Web Store and find an app or extension that works well for you (sorry, no games allowed). You have time today to browse through the categories and search for a tool that makes your life easier or allows you to create/design something you love to do. Once you have selected your app or extension you will need to tell me what you selected so that we do not have people choosing the same app/extension. Then you will prepare and then give the class a short demonstration on:

1. Why you selected it?
2. What are some of it's best features.
3. What doesn't it have or what doesn't work so well.
4. Any additional information...

You will present your demonstration on Friday to the whole class. You must bring your laptop as you will be using this app/extension on your laptop and be able to plug into the projector. Be prepared to answer at least two or three questions. I would highly recommend writing down your steps so you don't get into the front of the room and suddenly forget what you were going to say. You will be graded on how well you demonstrate your app/extension and answering the above questions. Some suggestions for presenting:

• Make eye contact with people or try and get them involved.
• Ask questions to see if your audience understands what your are saying.
• Speak slowly and loud, we cannot learn anything if we cannot hear you.
• Remember everyone is just as afraid as you are to stand in front of the group...relax we won't bite! Have fun.

If anyone would like to go first...second...third, just let me know, otherwise it will be a random order so be prepared to present at any time. As an audience member take notes and be prepared to blog about what you found interesting and be able to reflect about your experience as a presenter.

Housekeeping

Today I want you to do several things:

• Take time to look through your fellow classmates blogs. Have they done something that you don't know how to do? Is there a theme that you would prefer?
• Take a moment to edit your About You video post...give a quick sentence or two about this post is all about.
• Create a new blog post and write a tech review of Animoto.
• I want this post to have pics and a link to the website.
• Remember to be creative with your title.
• You post must be very detailed and use technical writing. Many of you just wrote the bare minimum you need to have three to four paragraphs. There is a lot to discuss.
• Make sure you have the following blog posts completed:
• Tech Review of WeVideo
• Animoto Video About You (plus a few details)
• Tech Review of Animoto
• Update Blogger Info
