If Photo Story is not on your computer you can upload it from the internet. The file type that is used is wp3. The project opens up on you desk top. Yes, you can transition between images and edit each of them. You can import movies to Youtube, blog, and websites. You can edit the pictures by making them slide in and out or you can change the color of the pictures. You can move to specific areas of the picture to zoom into them closer. You can used JPEG to transfer the powerpoint into pictures.

The video did not upload correctly to you tube. Soo hopefully I will get it uploaded soon!!

Class from yesterday

In class yesterday we went more in dept about what a webquest was and how it worked.
I think that a good webquest has lots of links to get more information, it is useful, exciting, colorful, and easy to keep your attention. I think that it should also have pictures for those people who are more visual learners.

webquest

It was really hard to find a web quest for the visual arts. I'm not sure what I'm suppoesed to do after I found one, but here is a link to it. Some questions that I could ask could be: Why is color important? How do we see color? What can be made with colors? I hope that those are some suffiecent questions.

not able to embed-will try more.

Well since I can't seem to get the power point presentation on my blog site from Google docs. I will post a link so that it can be seen from my web page. It is under framing questions and is an attachment. click here

Module 2

Today in class we added some more things like the Global21 to our Delicious accounts and to the blog page. We also looked into the second module of the Intel Teaching Program. We have to think up something that we can make as lessons for the module 2 part. It will constist of 3 total lesson plans that we can use for later classes. We also looked at some of our classmates visual ranking projects.

Visual Ranking

Today in class we had to create a visual ranking project for our classroom.

I did- What would a kindergarten student use the most when creating an art project? The list will go from most used to least used.

To do this activity you will need my teacher ID, team password, and team ID.

The team names are: 1,2,3,4
The team passwords are: one,two,three,four
My teacher ID: autheck

Lemon-lime-cola-lime

There is already lemon in the cola so when you put it back into the lemon there would be more lemon added back into the lemon-lime than cola. In the end there would be more lemon-lime than cola!!!

But if you consider the fact that you put lemon-lime in the cola and then took the same amount back out and put into the lemon-lome again. You would end up with there being more lemon in the one but more cola in the other. So it really depends on how you look at it.

My check list of thinking:
1:add to cola-the lemon-lime-makes a solution
2:stir-combines it all, can not be seperated
3:take out of cola and put into lemon lime-already mixed still cola-lemon-lime(cannot seperate)
4:so the lemon is still mixed in cola and visa versa
5:means that when you add it back into the lemon mixture it has less lemon than before, but more cola than before. And same with the cola having less lemon, but still more cola.

Embeded Presentation

storage issues

The four places to save electronic documents are:

1:Google documents-Pros-can find it on any computer, can be made into a webpage, is free.-Cons- may not have internet service.
2:A network location/u drive-Pros-don't have to carry a jump drive.-Cons-can only get it on a certain network if plugged in(wired connections).
3:A jump drive-Pros-can have it with you as you travel.-Cons-could leave it or loose it or they brake.
4:To the desktop-Pros-can find it easy and is free-Cons-the hard drive could crash.

Today in class we learned how to take a document from Word on our desktop. We then saved it to the desktop, then we published it to the Internet as a web page. So that it is accessible to everyone if you want it to be.
