For the make belief comix assignment it is so hard to include the words from Bad Boy vocab. This is because when I put in the dialog, there isn't any words in that chapter that were on the list. This makes it hard to include them in the comic.
So now we have to make up that Walter says something with a word in it rather than just take it from the book. Now we have him working with an apparatus that helps him talk right, and him wanting to yodel while his friend complains how excruciating it would be. This is annoying because it is hard to tell the story properly with including these words.

Today, Caroline, Catherine and I were working on our iMovie portion of the project. We completed all the slides for the summary of Bad Boy and are currently adding pictures. Maja wasn't here today for class, so we didn't get to update the back cover but it wasn't really a problem. So far, the project has been going great with no troubles coming our way. My group was very productive today and got a lot done even though Maja was absent. I'm really thrilled to see how the iMovie will come out!
Productive Day
Today in class our group had a very productive day. We finally got the ball rolling to start on our project. We completed our cover page. Lindsey recorded a video, Abby wrote a summary, Dozie found quotes from the book, and I worked on adding all of the elements to the glog. I think our team works quite well together, we all have our own jobs and get them done efficiently. I think we have gotten a lot of work done since that last time that we had worked on it. We had a good system of other people in the group air dropping things to people so we could get the documents, pictures, and videos we needed from other people. I am excited to see what our final glog looks like. Hopefully we can explore more elemnts to this program and have our project turnout the best that it can be.
Glogster Nick S., Johnny N., Sean C.
Today in class Johnny, Sean, and I did a lot of work. I finished the summary. My summary is pretty long. Johnny got three reviews. And Sean started and almost finished the the biography. We found out how to record something (a review) and put it on our glogster. Johnny review Sean, Dennis, and I. Dennis's review was negative and Sean's and I were positive reviews. Mine was recorded. We were pretty productive today. I hope we can finish the front of the back cover tomorrow.
Jackie Robinson videos
Yay! I can finally post on my own account! So if anyone is trying to search for videos of Jackie Robinson, there isn't much real footage of him playing baseball, at least there isn't much on You Tube, but there are lots of interviews about him and a few with him from the History channel and others like it.
Embedding a Video into Powerpoint/Google Presentation
As Khadeeja and I are working on Google presentation, (because none of the other options worked) we were told to try to embed a video relevant to the character or event from Bad Boy on every slide, or at least put plenty of pictures. Google made it really easy to just click on an 'attach video' button and enter in the hyperlink. We couldn't have done it without Youtube of course, which also made embedding a video simple and fast:) Our luck's begining to turn!
