Project+Explanations

1st Web Project Revised (18 July 2008) - I have never made a webpage (except for the one I tried last week.) I have also never made a lesson plan. The plan I thought I had made was a unit plan.

Microsoft Office Project (20 July 2008) - I have used Microsoft Office significantly, including PowerPoint which I have used mostly for presentations. I have also used it to write non-linear hypertext poetry. This assignment was my first time creating a PowerPoint to use as a lesson activity. It is non-linear and has an accompanying lesson outline for students to follow. (One of the links in the PowerPoint is not working. It is on the haiku page and takes the user to the haiku poem.) I was not sure how to upload the PowerPoint to Wikispaces, so I will e-mail it to Jake and ask how to do that tomorrow in class.

Photoshop Project (27 July 2008) - I used Photoshop last fall in architecture school when making presentation boards for studio projects centered on 3D modeling. I have used other Adobe products like InDesign and Illustrator for studio purposes as well as to create a portfolio for my architecture school application. This project incorporates creative writing and visual presentation. The unit plan should explain this.

Video Project (28 July 2008) - I have never made a movie (except once in high school, but there was no editing -- just one shot after another). I have never posted anything to YouTube or Teacher Tube. This was a first for me, and I loved it. It was originally supposed to be black and white. I would have liked to have executed more aesthetic finesse with this project.
