iPhoto Name

1. Upload your slideshow as a movie to your blog posting. [If you have trouble with this, check to see that you exported it in the correct format.]



2. List the search terms (words) that you used to find images (for the letters of your name and the images that describe you) and why?
Pictures that look like the letter n, pictures that look like the letter c, pictures that look like the letter k, pictures that look like the letter b, pictures that look like the letter r, pictures that look like the letter y, pictures that look like the letter a, pictures that look like the letter t, piano, trombone, algebra, television, cheese pizza, SpongeBob SquarePants, veterinarian, and roller coaster.

3. What skills did you use/learn in this project?
I learned how to export these slideshows.

4. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation.
I can use these skills to make slideshows about good things.

5. This was a more creative project than our first 2. Did you prefer it or the more cut and dry assignments in Word and Excel?
I prefer the more cut and dry assignments in Word and Excel.

6. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc., How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?
I borrowed the images off of Google.  For those pictures, I used cropping.  For the pictures I took myself, I used red-eye reduction.

Charity Letter and Mail Merge

The name of the business was Interface Security Systems.  The charity was donating money to the poor. In the first paragraph, I told who I was writing to that if they come, they would have the time of their life.  I learned to use Mail Merge when I wrote this letter.  The easiest part of this project was making the Address Book.  The hardest part was the mail merge.  I can use mail merge to write other letters.  I learned something new when doing this project, the mail merge.

M&M Reflection

A template is anything that determines or serves as a pattern.  It came from dictionary.com.  One of the tools that I used is AutoSum, which is also one of the tools I learned to use.  I didn't add any extras to the spreadsheet.  Another uses I may have for a simple excel spreadsheet is counting how many days I've been doing something.

About Me

In this class, I hope to learn a lot about computers.  I would like to be communicated with about my grades by email.



This lobster represents me because they are quiet, just like me.  Also, the lobster would probably use its pinchers to defend itself when in danger, and I would also like to defend myself if I'm made fun of by telling them to leave me alone.
