MyLife

I absolutely LOVED this project. I have been looking forward to it all year, and now I am done with it. It was soooo much fun to find pictures and reminisce old memories with my family and friends. This project was especially perfect and important to me because of my brother's graduation. Looking through old photos really made me see how much I am going to miss him next year. Although the pictures were the best to find, the information was also pretty interesting. I didn't realize that some of the things that were popular were still popular then. Before this class, I didn't know how to use I-Movie or Garage Band at all, but now, I discovered that I love using both programs. I now know how to use both programs to create much more interesting and exciting projects and presentations.

Music Genome

The Music Genome project was a lot of fun. I absolutely love Classical music, so this project was perfect for me. I learned a lot about Classical music that I didn't know before. Through this project, I learned that I absolutely love IMovie. It is a lot of fun to create movies with animations in a program other than PowerPoint. In IMovie, you can create better animations so that your movie flows better. This project was very good for me because it was very relaxing. We had enough time that I wasn't stressed and rushing, but I always had something to do. Overall, this project was great!

Band I-Movie

The I-Movie project was pretty good. I did learn a lot about working with others in a group, however, I did not like that the work was distributed unequally. I had to put much more time into this project than I was hoping. However, I did like doing interviews and being creative with the movie. I am very involved in band, and I love it a lot. This project was a way for me to share my love of band. Timing was the most difficult part of this project. The music was also hard. However, despite the difficulties, I think this project turned out really well.

Movie Podcast

The Movie Podcast project was a pretty fun project. I absolutely love movies, especially scary movies, so it was fun to be able to tell everyone about my favorite scary movie, The Amityville Horror. I love putting my creativity into making things like this interesting for everyone. I really hope I was able to convince at least a few people to watch this movie. The only thing I didn't like is having to put my own voice into it. I don't like the sound of my voice on recordings. Overall, this project was great. I really loved hearing about everyone's favorite movie and what it was about. I got some great new movie suggestions!

Storyboard

The storyboard project was rather difficult. It was hard to find so many pictures and so much information about band, even though I am in it. However, it was very fun to do this project because I know it will hopefully get some more people involved in band. I love making powerpoints, even though sometimes they are a pain. I love using all kinds of colors, animations, and sounds to really let my creativity flow. Hopefully, this will aid the incoming freshman next year, and they will be less confused about everything. I really hope more people join our band because we really need more people!

I-Photo Name Project

This project was a great project to get my creativity flowing. I absolutely love creative projects like this one. It was really fun to find the letters of my name and there were so many creative options. I love to share my interests and passions with everyone, and this project was a great way to do this. I got to take a few pictures, too and share my love for photography. In this project, I put in many pictures of things I enjoy and  of things that mean a lot to me. These pictures include pictures of nature, my pets, my friends, and places I love to visit. This was a great project!

Charity Mail Merge

The project was to learn how to use mail merge. I really liked this project. I am hoping to become a teacher when I'm older, and this tool will be very helpful when I write letters to parents, students, or faculty. With mail merge, you can easily transfer names and addresses into your letter. This is useful for all letter writing purposes if you are sending a letter to a large group of people. I also didn't know the difference between a regular letter and a business letter. It's good that I finally learned the format! The project was enjoyable and I hope we do more projects like this!
