This week the student shall take the hyperstudio project that they created last week and import into iMovie. In iMovie the student will add sound to their project.
Sounds can be found within iMovie or sounds can be found on the Internet by searching for "WAV" files and or "MP3" files. Some Interenet sites may request money for the sounds. Please do not use these sites.
Sites: Sounddogs.com (I have verified free access using Firefox )
As an alternate to above. Should the student not want to use their hyperstudio project or did not make a HS project. The student can create a music video using photos from the Internet, and then add sounds to create a unique video.
OA's

Week 7 Hyperstudio
This week we will be working with Hyper Studio software (App). I will have to check to see what the developers are calling it these days. If you were in my computer class at the beginning of the school year we experimented with the Hyper Studio.
I first want to show everyone some of the basic functions of the software. Hyper Studio is available for both MAC and PC.
There are two projects I would like students to accomplish this week.
Project 1 Created an animation (flipbook) I would like for you to show movement of an object.
Project 2 Another animation, but for this project I would like for you to use one of the drawings you created last week on Google Draw. I would like for you to copy your drawing into Hyper Studio and then make some minor changes to the drawing over a series of cards to make it look like your drawing is talking. You will then add audio to the Hyper Studio project.
Both projects will be saved as MP4 videos and be posted to your blogger for full credit.
A Hyper Studio Tutorial Page.
Youtube..How to get started in Hyperstudio
Opening Assignments for Week
Mon. Provide a link to a cool product that you like or would like to have.
Tues: What would improve your neighborhood or city.
Wed: Some say a little knowledge is dangerous. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Thurs: If you only had 7 days to live, what would you do? Who would you want to see? How would want to be remembered?

Other Comments:
What is the correct or desired way to hold a cell phone camera? LANDSCAPE or Horizontally
If you hold your camera in the vertical position you will end up with a black bar on each side of the image. If you hold your camera in the horizontal position you will fill the entire screen. ( I am recommending this )

Quarter 4 Week #1 April 4-8
Welcome Back!
Here we go....Let's finish the year out strong...
Monday April 4th. Please make a post to your blogger.
How was your vacation?
What did you do on vacation?
Did you go anywhere?
What was the favorite thing you did over break?
Include a photo to sum up your holiday!
Example:
I went to Savannah Georgia. It was my first time in the state of Georgia. I was very impressed with the city. Savannah, a coastal Georgia city, established in 1733, is separated from South Carolina by the Savannah River. It’s known for its manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages and ornate antebellum architecture. Its cobblestoned historic district is filled with squares and parks like Forsyth Park, shaded by magnolia blossoms and oak trees covered with Spanish moss. The historic district’s architectural landmarks include the Gothic-Revival Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.
Take a look at the Spanish moss on the trees.
There was a few movies filmed in Savannah that you may have heard of...
Baywatch with the Rock.
Forrest Gump
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

W9 March 21-25
W9 Final week of the 3rd Quarter......March 21-25.
Note: NO SCHOOL on Friday!
Monday 3-21 Class Activity
Close Up Photo - Take a photo using your phone camera of something within the classroom up close.
Take at least 3 different photos. Once you have decided on a photo use a photo editing app to make the picture black & white. Also using a photo editing app change the photo. For example: there is an app that will make the photo look like a pencil sketch. Give it a try.
In review. Post 3 different images of the same close-up photo that you take from something within the classroom. Post on your blogger.
Tuesday 3-22 Class Activity
Tilt Shift Photo - Take a photo from an extreme angle, either really high or really low angle of an object. This alone is OK but if you add an app that miniaturizes or tilt shifts the image you get some unreal affects. These are all real cars and people.

W8 Activity Say Hello to your future self
In this assignment I would like for you to video yourself using the record feature in iMovie. I would like for you to record a message to your future self....Say in 5-10 years from now. Once you have recorded your video I would like you to post it on your blog page. That is it.
OK so what can you say?
You can begin with the easy...what you like to wear, eat, who you're friends are right now, what you like to do. It can get a little deeper if you give some predictions about where you see yourself in 5 to 10 years or longer, and even more deep if you can say how you might get there, what you hope to achieve, where you think the world is headed etc.
You can also make a prediction of things to come. Think of the Back to the Future movie when Marty McFly ends up in the future of 2015 and what they thought life would be like. They were wrong. But it was cool to see. We have a presidential election coming up, you make a prediction who will win. And then what happens if a candidate wins, how might this affect the US.
How long does it need to be? Well that depends on you. I would like something about 30 seconds long.
Can you make the movie with someone else. Yes, but I would like each person to have their own video blog.
To make the video you can use the camera's on the computer, you may use the iPad, or one of the video camera's in the classroom, or you can use your own phone or camera.
I think it would be best to make up some question to ask yourself and write down the answers. You will be able to edit what you record in iMovie. You can make more than one take, meaning if you need to you can redo a portion of the video.
OK, so I know most of us don't think in those terms, but if you jot a couple of notes down before you begin filming, it may make it easier when the camera is on you. Remember you will be looking back on this video someday.
If you are worried about others seeing the page you can create another blog page to post it on. But to get credit from me I will need that link. You can either include it in an email or put a link on your "main" page.
This project will be due on Friday Jan 15th
