Your blog post MUST be at least one paragraph (5 complete sentences). The sentences need to be grown up sentences, not Dr Seuss sentences.

Your blog post MUST include at least one picture or video.

PLEASE READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY

3/18/13 - Learning to create an ad

Today we are going to walk through the steps of creating a digital ad using Pages. First we will walk through it in class so you can ask questions as we go. Later I will type out the directions in this post for future reference.

Assignment for Friday, 3/15/13

If you have not completed your blog post for this week, work on that today.

If you have not completed the video that we worked on throughout the week, complete that assignment today.

If you have completed both tasks, you may work quietly on other school work.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY FOR MAKE UP WORK.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR GRADE, SEE ME TODAY.

Assignment for Thursday, March 14

READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.

Today you are going to make a slideshow of the original and edited pictures from this week and then export it as a movie. Each student needs to create their own slideshow and movie with the pictures from the group. This is not a group project.

Using Keynote, put each picture into its own slide.
- the original first
- followed by a slide explaining how you edited the picture.
- followed by a slide of the edited picture
- you should end up with 15 slides total.

NOW TURN THE SLIDESHOW INTO A MOVIE

You will have to do the following for each slide.

- open inspector (the blue circle with the "I" inside)

- I believe the transition timing is in the second icon but I may be wrong. Check the other icons if it is not in the first.

- I want each slide to be on screen for 10 seconds

- I want each transition between the slides to be different. You CANNOT use the same transition throughout the project.

- you also need to make sure that each slide is set to change automatically and not "on click"

- once you have changed all of these things, save your project in keynote.

- now export your project as a QuickTime movie file. Go to the "Share" tab at the top of the program in order to export to Quicktime.


NOW POST THE MOVIE TO YOUTUBE AND THEN TO YOUR BLOG

- go to www.youtube.com and log in to the school's channel.

- LOGIN:
  PASSWORD:
- I want your post title to be "Friday's Class Assignment"

- you DO NOT have to write anything in this post.

- once you publish the video to your blog, copy the URL for the post and paste it in the comments section below.
