Skills Update E and Reflection


2012
11.30

For Skills Update E I learned some skills in I-movie. I still have much to learn. I did learn how to create a slideshow of pictures with music. I was able to sort them as I wanted them to show. I found a neat feature on I-movie, it’s called the Ken Burns cropping tool. It starts in a certain place that you pick, and then moves out and the place you want to move out to. It really makes the slide show flow smooth.

Overall, I have learned a lot of new skills and I have gotten better in other skills. I think it is important that I continually learn new skills in technology and keep getting better in other skills. A teacher needs to be proficient in programs, because that knowledge is necessary to help students work within the programs. I enjoyed working in these programs, and anticipate I will be doing more work with these skills.

My final checklist shows I have become proficient in all the areas I chose to learn more about. Attached it the checklist with most areas being marked as proficient. Skills-Checklist-D3

I’m late getting my updated skills on my blog. I did work on them though. This one I am most proud of. I am glad I advanced my skills in photoshop, because I can to so much with my son Tyler’s athletic pictures for the scrapbook I am putting together. I learned how to become proficient in many of the tools in photoshop. I will show you a picture I did by creating layers. I learned how to put text in a layer also, which I plan on using for some of Tyler’s senior pictures. I am linking a picture I created in photoshop, as well as the skills update (more…)

 A Creative Commons licence  is rather hard to understand. After watching the explanation and reading about it, it is best said that Creative Commons is giving an author the right to use a Copyright, while allowing his work to be used, viewed, shared, enjoyed etc. by the public. Basically, the way I understand it a Creative Commons license would allow an author to retain his copyright, while allowing certain exceptions and permissions.
