iPhoto Name

1. Upload your slideshow as a movie to your blog posting. [If you have trouble with this, check to see that you exported it in the correct format.] 

2. List the search terms (words) that you used to find images (for the letters of your name and the images that describe you) and why? I pretty much just used "nature letter" and then typed the letter i needed.

3. What skills did you use/learn in this project?
I learned how to use iPhoto because i had never used it before.
4. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation.
If i ever have to make a movie/slideshow for another class, then i will know how to do it
5. This was a more creative project than our first 2. Did you prefer it or the more cut and dry assignments in Word and Excel? This project definitely took longer than the first 2, but in the end when it was all finished it ended up being more fun.

6. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc.,How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.? We took pictures from the internet, but we cited them so it was not illegal and against copyright laws. I think that was mostly how that law was used in this project.

About Me

In this class, I would like to learn different things to help me use my computer. I like to be communicated with about my grades by either over e-mail or conversation. The picture represents me because I am a huge Bradley basketball fan. I have been going to the games ever since i was a little kid and they are my favorite team.
