CREATE

2009-05-18T10:55:00.002+02:00

Three more periods to finish your MMP.

Make sure you have high resolution images!

Bring music that you will use for our next class.

Don't forget that you should create your MMP in your class. If you do it at home I need to see it next class, so you can make any necessary changes.

Have fun!

DESIGN and PLAN

2009-04-26T22:14:00.002+02:00

DESIGN

Create at least two story boards that will list all the elements of each scene: text, background, audio, visuals, transitions, special effects etc. Consider what elements could be “self produced.”

Chose one storyboard, and justify your choice. Check them against your Design specification.

PLAN

Set a time frame and work plan for all work to be done. Do what? By When?

How are you going to do it, what tools or application programs are you going to use?

Collect, select and organize your media in a folder on Students Storage and name it appropriately.

Don't forget that you will need high resolution images and do your best to choose your music well in advance and bring it to school well in advance. Don't forget that almost always there are some technical problems when dealing with software and that sometimes it takes more time than you originally anticipated. Plan wise!

Please write posts on your blogs on Design and Plan!

So, what's next!?

2009-03-12T21:52:00.004+01:00

Here I am at home ill with pneumonia for the first time in my life, but quite relaxed as we have this (blog) wonderful tool to communicate and collaborate.

I am very happy that some of you are really excited about Blogging and are becoming real Bloggers!

It seems that you are not quite clear why we are doing this, and if your Blog should be personal or academic one.

What I really wanted you to do is to create your DT blog (academic) with a personal touch :-) In my next post I will describe to you your Web 2.0 short project and when we are done with that project we will do our last project for the year Multi Media Poetry and you will be using your Blog and other Web 2.0 tools to complete this project.

Please, send me an e-mail so I can have your e-mail in my Google contacts. I also need you to send me a link to your blog so I can follow your blog!

Upload your Troy trailer to your Blog!

2009-03-08T23:47:00.003+01:00

Those who finished their trailers for Spaces can find them on Youtube and embed their video in their post.

Others will find their finished Trailers on Student's Storage-DT 10th grade folder-Film editing folder-Final trailers.

You will need to upload your Trailers onto Youtube and then embed into your post.

This is how I did it for Blog in Plain English video (click to enlarge)

Have fun!

Why Blogging?

2009-03-08T21:16:00.003+01:00

I am pretty sure that you are asking yourselves why are we doing Blogs as our next project.

Well, I embarked this interesting journey of Web 2.0 discovery with my colleagues called "23 Things"which is led by Ms Jennie (our librarian) and wanted to share fun that I am having with you.

At the beginning of this school year I planned to introduce you to Web 2.0 tools, and the time has come.
