Storyboard for our Technology project on technology!

Today my group, Katie Querciagrossa, Kelly McLaughlan, and Sarah Mattern, and myself, had to show our storyboard, or outline,to the class. We had the topic of Intermediate Technology Applications. I'm so glad we got this class because we're in it right now! It should be easy and we're excited to start on it. We plan to have music, interviews, and great graphics to make our project appealing and fun. We have a great start; our transitions look amazing including the ones meant for the text. This project should be fun because we are basically making an advertisement and it could maybe get used!!

Name Project: Jensen Belle

We had to make an iPhoto slideshow with letters spelling out our name and pictures showing our interests. I liked doing this project because I like working with editing settings and orders of movies. I chose the letter pictures from the internet but I took a couple of them. THe other pictures showed me doing activities such as swimming, hanging out at the beach, and going to the movies. I liked this prject also because I got to think about what I like and how to express this in a photo. I don't like iPhoto that much; I prefer iMovie because there are more options and I'm more used to it. Above is one of the pictures I used to show that I liove going to Camp!! Peace out!

Merging Project

Today, in our Technology Applications class, we learned how to merge and Excel document and a Word document. This will come in use when I get a job. I want to go into some field that involoves communications, so knowing how to write a business letter is a must. I also want to do volunteer work so this particular assignment will come in handy. I now know how to merge adresses into a general letter. This will save me so much time in the future, instead of typing in eash adress to the letter. With a few clicks of a button, I'll be done! Voila!

Candy covered chocolates

M and M's. The multi-covered candies totaled 55 in my bag.
This experiment helped me understand how to use Microsoft Excel. I collected data, plugged it into formulas, and presented it in an easy-to-follow format. Now, when I get older and get a job, I'll know how to use Excel. I liked this experiment because it was helpful, easy, and delicious! This project made Excel seem approachable and user friendly. I loved the M and M's. They were a yummy treat and very applicable to this data-counting assignment. I liked how we got to work in small groups and talk with others to compare our gathered data. I hope we do more projects like this: fun, educational, and yummy!

Introductions

For this class, I'm expecting to learn more about the hidden secrets of the Mac. I'm already very familiar with iMovie and I love to make movies on it but I don't know how to use some of the other applications. I'm a sophomore here at PND. This trimester I'm taking tech, gym, biology, church history, and literature. I'm a swimmer but I'm taking a couple weeks off because I'm also in the musical right now. I'm an honors student. I love to travel and I'm going to France this summer! I love my dog, Mandy. She's a golden retreiver collie mix and although everyone says that their pet is the best, everyone who meets Mandy wants to take her home. I like to run and wish I loved it enough to run like 5 miles at a time. Ok! Bye!

Peace and Love
