W8 May 23 - 27

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
Monday: If found $1,000,000 what would you do with it?

Thursday: What do you think your life will be like in 10 Years?

Week 7 May 16-20

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.

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?
