Story Board Project

Recently we have been working on a story board project. We got into groups and each have a different topic to cover. Our audience will be the incoming freshman for next year. We are telling them about all of the subjects, clubs, sports, and other activities you can enjoy while here at Notre Dame. My group has French I. I was in charge of getting the quotes and the pictures for he project. We are going to also get a video of interviewing he French I teacher, which is Mrs. Rodolfi. Getting everything together is just the making of the outline. Next we are going to continue adding different effects and applications and it will create a very cool slideshow! Learning about this is very helpful to know for use later in life.

iPhoto

Today I am working on a project using iPhoto. I am putting letters that are made of different objects and making them spell out my name. It is very neat how you can just out your pictures into iPhoto and create a slideshow with music. It is so simple and easy! I so far have my name and some music but I still need to add a couple of my personal pictures to it. I am not sure what I should put in there. But anyway, I never knew how to use iPhoto before and I have concluded that it is a very cool, easy, fun way to get a great outcome!

Mail Merging!

So today I learned how to take an Excel spreadsheet and mail merge it to create letters! It was very exciting. My organization that I was for was the National MS Society. I had a little bit of trouble in the beginning but Carlos helped me with that (thanks Carlos!) I thought it was very cool how by using an Excel spreadsheet you could create multiple letters but just using mail merging. I will definitely put that to use later in time. Well that is about it for now, but if you do not know how to mail merge I highly suggest figuring it out(:

M&M Comparisions

Today I worked with M&Ms! I learned how to use Excel and chart and graph things with formulas. Working with Excel was a good experience, showing me another way I can gather information. I sorted all of my M&Ms and got the totals and averages of the different colors. This was a fun project. We also got to look at other people's M&Ms and compared them to our own! The best part was at the end we got to eat our candy(: Today was a good day!

Day One

Hey I'm Katie, this is my first blogging! I am a sophomore this year and excited to learn more about technology. I don't know much about it yet but I'm sure that will change by the end of this trimester. This year I hope to learn more about iMovie and iPhoto and things like that. In my life outside of school, I love being with friends. I also like to travel. I have traveled since I was young and hope to go to many more places. I also love trying new things and learning about different stuff. This year is going to be great!
