Podcast Reflection

1.  I cut music to fit the length of my podcast. 2.  I could use a project like this in other classes to talk about the subject I'm earning about. 3. I could use a podcast in a job when giving a presentation. 4.  Recording the podcast was easy for me. Cutting the music was a bit harder for me. 5. I would like to clarify the 5 sound effect rule. I didn't know about that.

PND Culture Project

Our group chose PND baseball as our topic. we chose baseball because one member of our group plays and we thought it would be an interesting topic to research.

We included all different pictures tat have to do with baseball, since that was our topic.

We used email to communicate as a team. we emailed each other document and picture files to make it easier for us to get the project done.

Storyboarding helped us plan out what we will do for our movie, and it also will make making the movie easier. 

Charity Mail Merge project

1. LThe name of my business was the National Basketball Association and the NBA Cares program. The charity I chose was UNICEF, which is a charity that benefits children with the HIV/AIDS virus.
2. I used my knowledge of Microsoft Word. I learned how to use mail merge.
3. The easiest part of this project for me was writing the letter. The hardest part for me was figuring out how to use the mail merge feature.
4. In the future, if I have a job that requires sending letters, I could use the mail merge feature to help me, instead of having to type out every name and address.
5.I learned how to mail merge a letter. I knew that when companies send out formal letters to many people, that they probably didn't type out every single person's name and address, but I didn't know how they got all of the names on separate letters. 

iphoto project

1.I used google images to find images of things that i liked. I chose google because i am familiar with the site. For my name, I took my own pictures because I couldn't find pictures on the internet.
2. I learned how to use iphoto. I had never used it before.
3. I could use the skill involving iphoto in a real-world situation because if someone asked me to help them make a slideshow or how to get photos converted on it, I could help them.
4. I liked both. I feel like it was a good change to do something more creative. I would be okay with going back to projects in Word and Excel, too.

M&M Reflection

I found the m&m project fairly easy. I had to do the same thing in both 7^th and 8^th grade, so I was familiar with the project. I used excel during this project. I already knew how to use excel and some of its functions such as highlighting different sections and moving them, etc. Although I knew how to use it, though, at my grade school we used PCs and not macs, so that was different. I also got confused about how to change the name of the labels on the pie chart. Everything worked correctly for me, so that wasn’t a big problem. In the future, I could try to make the pie chart more readable. I used specific colors, but the labels just had numbers. All in all, I thought this project was fun and easy.  It was also a good learning experience on how to use some programs on a macbook.
