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.

Week 1 Review

Today in class we discussed:
Web2.0, a website in which there is no interaction -only a static page. Web2.0 pages would be ones where you find pages with information and more links which take you to more information. The opposite being pages where you leave comments -share with others.

BigHugeLabs, "Helping you do cool stuff with your photos" -anything from making your photo a jigsaw, adding captions, borders, slide shows, etc. This site is connected with Flikr.

Go2Web20, is full of online tools and applications. You can find applications to help you with organization, play music, play games, draw, there are a lot of different choices.

And of course setting up our blog.

I think all of these mediums could be integrated and helpful in the classroom at some point.
