This year in IT, I honestly learned quite a lot. It's pretty amazing considering I come from a family of technology failures who think Apple is a fruit and Mackintosh is a type of candy. I learned new skills which will actually really come in handy. I can use some of these skills in different classes. For example, in Humanities if Mrs. Whiting told us to do a book report, instead of doing a power point, I could edit photos, and record an Audacity file, then combine them all together in Imovie.
The biggest thing Ive learned about the application of multimedia honesty, is what different forms of multimedia are. I learned about all the different forms of multimedia, and how to mix them together into one big project. For my project, i used graphics, PowerPoint, and Audacity. I used how to apply the different forms of multimedia to my project, and it turned out really good in the end!
With all the new things we've learned in IT this year, there are a million way we could use our new skills for projects in other classes.
-Humanities book report
- Math data projects (maybe you could use Microsoft Excel)
- Science PowerPoint's
- French recordings ( we can record ourselves speaking french)
Probably the most challenging thing this trimester, was the enviormental photography. The actual hardest assignment was the one about 10 reasons to use multimedia, but we had so much time to do it, that it wasn't really so bad. But for the other project, we had to interview our 3 people, take different photos of them, and then put in all into a PowerPoint, in a limited amount of time. So yeah, I think that was the most challenging of all the assignments.
If i could change any of the activities, I'm not actually sure that I would to be honest with you. I quite enjoyed the variety of things that we did. I wouldn't get rid of any of the assignments, but there is one activity that I think the students would quite enjoy that I would add to the curriculum. What I personally would have really liked to do was get with a group of 3-4 people, and do some kind of a photography assignment. I think it would be fun to go around school taking pictures of things, and then writing about what you notice about the object. But other than that, I really don't have any suggestions.
I really enjoyed IT this trimester, and I'm sad that it's over. I used to enjoy knowing that I had IT, because it's a very relaxed class, and we have a lot of fun.
GOOD LUCK TO NEXT TRIMESTERS IT STUDENTS (:
