Today i presented my podcast which was about soccer. I think i did pretty good but i couldnt get the audio to play. But i sended my link anyway. Today mr.case assinged us to explore the menus and then make a blog post on the ten things you didnt know and how to do them. He said to also try to make a variety of the things like dont do what your friend did. He showed us some things about microsoft word. Some of the things he said where if you go to microsoft and you don't want the arrows in the menu's because sometimes it can get annoying what you can do is... you can get rid of them by cliking on the arrow, that will show the whole main page. Then you just click on customize and then the arrows will be gone. The other thing he taught us was you can even make your own tool bar.

Today is friday and we had an assembiley so we didnt really do anything in class becasue most of my calss were a pary of the assembiley. It was kinda of boaring for me because we just sat there and couldnt talk. On Thursday we had an supply teacher and she didnt really say anything about us finiding the defination about "podcast". I dont really get it. But i will try finidng the defination and putting it in my own words today. We have a test on Monday so Mr. Case is going to write it over the weekend...hope you dont make it hard Mr.Case. :D
Podcast: Podcast is used for recording anything and everything can be played back in a digital player or mobile devices and personal computer. It has converted MP3 file and other audio file. It has some similarities with ipod. But podcasts are mostly verbal, but they may contian music also. A podcast is a multimedia file over the internet. Through podcasts you can be autiomatically notified as soon as updates are made. To listen to podcasts you will need some sort of software on your computer. You can create audio on your podcast if you want to show to your friends when ever they want. Thats all i can say about podspot.

Today we a very short day. What we did today was that Mr. Case gave us 15 minutes to do the corecting on out story and the hot list. He gave us a sheet of paper where you have to mark every single person in the group. He said you cant just mark the person if you dont like the person or if you dont want them to get a good mark higher than you. You should mark them on how creative they made their presentation and also if they used most of the tools in powerpoint. Also the amount of effort they displayed in their powerpoint. We should also mark them if their project is easy to navigate. Also for our hotlist you had to be done by today. Mr.Case also told us that we are going to have a powerpoint test on Monday so i am hoping that i am going to pass the test and make my parents happy.:D I am wating for the next assingment i am praying it isnt going to be difficult.

Powerpoint

These couple of days we have learned about powerpoint and the good things and the bad thing about powerpoint and what we should use in order to make our presentation even better. What we can do about our powerpoint is that when you create something on your page you shouldn't have paragraphs and reading from that paragraph. It should be something interesting and the whole focuss should be on you not your presentation. You can use point forms to remeber what you have to say to the audience. Also make all your slides the same colour for it to look profetional. when you want the audience to stop taking and pay attentin you can use the B key so that the it would be blank. On the powerpoint there is animations you can use to represent your presentation. There is the A which stands for the art gallary and there are all kinds of writing that you can chose to put in your work and you can always change the colour of it. There are sounds that you can also use but you have to be really careful because sometimes it can go really fast or really slow. There is shadow that you can use to make it nicer sometimes. There are audio shapes, its like all kinds of shapes you can use. There is a spelling cheak,so your presentation should be always in correct spelling. When you also want to use sound there is the order you want it to go to there is word by word, all at once and by letter. Using these kinds of things you really have to be careful because when your presenting it might not go the speed you are going, and that can mess up ur project. There is also like from left to right and down from up and other kinds of direction you can use on your slide.
