begging of storyboard

this project was somewhat confusing. i found the instructions hard to follow and confusing in parts. other then that i found that, once i understood the directions, it was an easy powerpoint to put together. it was fun working with the people in our group and i thought we worked well together. the feedback from the class was good although it was somewhat repetitive. it will be fun to see how our storyboards become movies in the final product. this project helped me learn how to put together an informational slideshow using power point.

iphoto project

this project was a fun way to learn how to use iphoto on our macs. it was an easy way to learn how to use all the things iphoto can do to help you manage your photos. it was also fun finding pictures on the internet to find objects that looked like the letters in our name. the best part about this project was that we got to see every ones photo project after we were done. the one thing i didn't like about this project was how you were not able to move your slides around inside your slide show. it wont let me put my video on this blog it says that its not in my folder.

mm/charity blog thingy

i thought that this project was a fun and creative idea to learn how to use excel and the many things you can do on it. it was cool to learn how to use all the functions and stuff like that to help make the project easier. it was also fun to get to play with m&ms and pick pictures to put on the spread sheet. then the charity project was fun because we were aloud to make up our own business and business logo. i had fun on these projects.  

1. List the name of your business and its charity.
2. What skills did you use/learn in this project?
3. What was the easiest part of this project? What was the most difficult part of this project?
4. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation other than writing a charity letter.
5. Did you learn something new during this project that you did not know before?  If so, what? [Your response to this question can be related to the information, skills, or process of the project.] 1. the name of my business is sunshine chris enterprises, and the charity im supporting is the intrepid fallen heroes foundation. 2. in this project i learned how to use the mail merge thing. 3.the easiest part of this project was writing the letter, and the hardest thing was doing the mail merge because it was kind of difficult to figure it out. i will most likely use this skill if i ever need to send a letter to a group of people. it was nice to know to that you dont have to write out every name and adress. 5. the new thing i learned was the mail merge thing.
