Week 4 Review

This week we learned about Google Earth. I have used this application before. What was new for me was being able to record a tour of places. It was very easy to do. I think this could be very useful in the classroom. You could mark places along the Oregon Trail when studying it, and similar things for other subjects you are studying in class.

Week 3 Review

I was absent this week. The class worked on making videos with iMovie.

iMovie lets you take video segments and make them into a movie. You can edit the length of the segment, add text to it, voice over it, etc. There are also different transitions you can add between each clip.

Week 2 Review

A picture is worth a thousand words. This week we discussed how pictures can be manipulated. This can happen by combining pictures together (like in tabloids).

We went over how this can be accomplished in photoshop. By combining different pictures we can trick people into believing something. For instance putting myself in front of the Eiffel tower -showing people I have been there before, when in fact I have not :(
Photoshop is not a new concept for me, I have used it a lot actually.
