Garageband movie project

I learned a lot from this. I have used garageband in the past and I have made songs on there already so I know the basics on garageband. I never knew that we could use it to make podcasts. I like making this and garageband made it much easier so I hope that in the future we make more movies like this. This is one of the first times that I have ever made a podcast so it was a good experience for me. The only problem that I had was that editing was a little off but all together garageband made the podcast easier to make.

Storyboard Project

The group project I think was an alright project. I had good group members. I gave them both full credit because they both helped greatly in the composure of the project. The project was fairly easy because I have done power points in the past so I already know about those but it did teach me about google docs. I never even knew that google docs existed. It makes working as a group on a power point easier and allows every member to change things around on their own computers. I hope that we do projects like this in the future because I like working on power points and google docs makes it easier.

IPhoto Name Project

I enjoyed this project because I like how it turned out. I liked making a project about my name. I think that this will turn out good. The project was on IPhoto but for the finishing project I used IMovie. I still enjoyed making this project. I found that it was rather hard to find appropriate pictures for the project. It probably took me longer then it should have to make the whole thing. Overall I think that it was a good project. The subject of my project was military engineering.  I hope that we have more projects in the future that deal with IPhoto.

M&M Assingment Blog

The M&M assignment required the use of excel. I have used excel in the past and so I already know the basics of excel. This assignment has taught me more, such as a better understanding of AutoSum. I also learned how to change the color of the words and how to add things such as charts and titles. I hope to learn much more about the use of excel in future assignments. I think that this was a good assignment because I have not used excel since the seventh or eighth grade so this assignment refreshed my memory of excel and the basic functions.
