Welcome back from spring break! Before we left, students were working on finishing up a unit on PowerPoint 2007. We were focusing on such things as slide transitions and custom animation. Each year students move up to the high school knowing more and more about creating slide shows with PowerPoint and it is getting difficult to find things to keep them excited, but we will keep trying.
Now that we are back, we worked on creating Top Ten databases for our top ten favorite songs and movies. Students had to create separate tables for each with a variety of related fields. We even included CD cover art that displayed in our database forms.
The rest of the week we will work on graphics editing using Fireworks. We will learn how to touch up digital photos with a lesson called "Zits and Red-eye." We will also introduce Movie Maker and a sound editor called Audacity. Fun stuff!
