Class Video Storyboard

All right, so we just finished the group project dealing with the storyboard for a class at Peoria Notre Dame. Basically what we had to do was outline the main points of a class (or a club) at our school for the incoming freshmen. We are supposed to include who teaches it, who can take the class, where it is at, how long a student will take the class, what are the requirements to take it, and what the students do and learn in the class, as well as many other things. Our groups were chosen for us, which I guess was a pretty good thing because we got to work with some people that we normally wouldn't choose in our group. It was a good learning experience, I made new friends, and, well, all the other stuff I'm expected to put here..

iPhoto Project

Alright, looks like I just finished my iPhoto project. We were instructed to make a slideshow of pictures of things that resembled the letters in our names. The rest of the sides we just used to put pictures of things we like, because we were supposed to have a minimum of 20 pictures or so. This was a good project because we were encouraged to be creative, which I guess was pretty difficult for me because I'm not really a creative person.. Anyway it was still fun because we got to put pictures of stuff we like on it, and I guess I like to show people what I like. I'm really in to music, so I put a lot of bands and stuff on it and I put some TV shows I like and stuff about baseball and rugby, which are two sports that I'm kind of in to. Well, this is a really run-on post, and it didn't really make much sense, but I guess it's good enough for this project..

Charity Letter Project

A few days ago we did a project where we wrote a letter supporting  a charity that we chose and addressed it to ten people. I forgot to post a blog post about it then, so I guess that's why I'm doing it now... Anyway, this project wasn't very difficult, but it taught me a lot of stuff about technology. I like how it helped me to combine different programs like Microsoft Word and Excel to make tasks like addressing business letters easier. I think this will come in handy when I'm sending letters to colleges, or any other kind of document I guess, to multiple different people. So, yeah, overall it was a pretty good project.

My M&M Project

This was very informative and exciting. M&M charts are useful for seeing the averages of them. I also had a perfect chance to use Excel and its special Autosum feature, with the little ∑ symbol. It makes mathing so much easier, which saves me precious time for project. Also, we got to eat the Eminems, so that's pretty cool, even though I'm not a huge fan of them. I will definitely use Excel more in the future for my math classes.It is a strong tool for neatly and effectively presenting data, and it also saves a lot of time and effort when making graphs and other stuff for such projects.

First Tech Assignment

So, as you can tell from the title, this is my first assignment in tech class. One of the things I hope to accomplish in this class is how to use Garage Band better. I have used this a few times at my house, but I was pretty much guessing on how to use it and I didn't really understand what all the tools do. I want to find out how to record music on this, since that is basically the main function of the program, because the first time I tried it, the sound turned out bad.I want to know how to fix this and how to use other parts of the program, and I guess this will help me with other projects in the future.
