November/December Reflection

My favorite unit from November and December is when we had partners and we had a topic of our choice and we went and took pictures too create a photostory. We used communication in this project alot because we had too decide which pictures too use and how we should set up the photostory and the text explaining the pictures.
I learned that you dont need a whole bunch of text too explain what needs too be said. A photostory allows you to narate so there is more room for the big picture and less text. I was very proud of my photostory because at first i was having alot of trouble but then i got the hang of it and now im a pro(:
I am very happy with all the work i created in photostory because i learned different things with every project that was completed. And then i would get more ideas.

October Reflection

My favorite unit from October was Animoto. I loved Animoto because it was easy but so much fun. It is a very creative way too put together any kind of project even if it is for school, work, or even a holiday present.
I learned how too create a presentation about anything. How too add pictures, music, text, and much more. And even if it is for school, they make it fun for any project. My project that i created in Animoto that i am most proud of is the one where it was all about me. I put pictures that described my favorite sports, hobbies, and other activities. But Animoto made it fun to watch.
With Animoto, i was happy with every project i did but the project about me made me happy because it was wild and crazy just like me. And i didn't even design it that way, that's why Animoto was so fantastic too me because all i had to do was put pictures and music up and they created it with how they thought it would look best.

august/september reflection

Favorite Unit From August/September
Jenna Bryant




My favorite unit from this past semester is GoogleSketch-Up. I enjoyed GoogleSketch-Up because i could make it my own. I made many projects in this application like a dream house, and a gymnastics studio! This is a very creative way too use technology because your virtually building.
I learned how too use tools too build different objects or anything pretty much. You can also add in 3-D objects from google by clicking a link in the application. I am by far most proud of my gymnastics studio. I put more time and effort into it and tried too make it as real as possible.
For the most part, i like most of the work i had created. But some not as much as others because of the effort that i put in.
This isnt my project, but i couldnt get mine on here because it is an actual file.
