Spring Break News

 “What is the most important news story that happened during Spring Break?”  What type of media did you use to learn more about this story?” “How do you feel the news media presented the story so that it captured your attention?”

A sunami hit the coast of japan just before spring break. Though the news papers and TV I found out that the death count reached and surpassed 12,000. I feel the media portrayed the disaster well and did not force a guilt trip like i have noticed in the past.

warm up 2/22/11

What was the hardest thing about working with sound and Power Point during your last project?  What do you wish you could do with sound that we haven’t done yet in this class?

The hardest part was making the powerpoints run the way I wanted them to. I counldnt seem to pull up the same powerpoint and run it the same everytime. I wish we could do one of those over dub things they do on comedy shows where they have a scene from an old tv or movie with exaggerated actions and multiple people comment or redo the script/

Charity Intrest- NORML

The organization I am intersested in creating a PSA about is NORML or The Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. This organitation is interesting to me beacause it is a revolution in the way people think about cannabis, and the way the people are thinking about change. NORLM is no different than people trying to abolish prohabition and I think should be respected.

Warm Up- 2/7/11

“Why is sound important in our lives?

Sound is important because without sound the world could not function in day to day activities. Sound is used for communicating from person to person, over the TV, throught the radio, and face-to-face. The world would be dependent on another source of communication besides sound.

“What are some projects in this class that could benefit from having sound added?”

Powerpoints and web presentations could utilize sound for better entertainment purposes. Sound would add another "dimention" to the peice of work.

“If you could listen to anything in the world, what would it be?”

If I could listen to anything in the world it would be all of my favorite bands playing at one concert.

Wiki

"How could you use a wiki for a class I am taking other than Digital Media?"

A wiki can be used for any class that you have a group project in and that may require a lot of communication between the group memebers. Group members for a history project could use a wiki to exchange and post information with other members in their class that arnt nessisarily in their group, in order to help move the project along.

My Vacation Wordle

About Me

Hey, I'm Robert and I'm a junior in high school. If i had to descirbe myself in three words they'd probobly be; fun, awesome, and care-free. My favorite subjet in school..that I don't curently take woule be art. Mostly because I've always been intested in art and the ability to create things that come from within. The least favorite would be I curerntly take is speech. Its just a dumb class. Outside of school I spend most of my time either in the gym, playing guitar, or watching tv. In a group I never like being told what to do or how to do it. For the most part I'm pretty out going. I get pissed when people bug me when I'm in the wrong mood.
