=Grade 7 Compouters (2010/2011)= During the year 2010/2011 - We were educated on Computer Technology, This wikki I have created will take you on a tour of "My Year In A Wikki" Starting with September and taking you all the way to the month of June. These projects will each get an explination with the deminstration of the project. To start of the tour with my first project I did way back in October for Halloween, we explored the new fetures of the Microsoft Powerpoint 2010 edition. We were asked to make stories and with our knowledge of the program Fireworks, we were able to ghostify picture which gave us the opertunity to put these pictures in with out stories. These stories were created ourselves also, edited and put together by us ‍‍‍   [|Halloween Power Point.pptx] The second application we looked at was our school email. We were taught how to make distribuation list, add contacts, and change the theme of our emails. We were also taught how make a good email

Second of all we looked at our student email accounts. In these accounts we were taugt how to make distribution lists, add and delete contacts, change themes, make notes, and put reminders of special ocasions on our calanders. Example: *Link To Student Email Sign In* [|https://owa.lskysd.ca/owa/auth/logon.aspx?replaceCurrent=1&url=https%3a%2f%2fowa.lskysd.ca%2fowa%2f] ‍‍‍

The third thing we looked at this year is being a good person online, and looked at ways on how to identify if the information you are reading is real or not, also how to keep your identity private and to make sure you are safe online. We went to a website called "Internet Cafe" it taught us how to be safe and gave us tips on cyberbullying, and whats false or fiction. Example: Facebook Page - Real or not? [|Wayne Gretzky Facebook Page - real or not?]

Forth of all we learned web shortcuts for word documents (CTRL Z is undo, CTRL C is copy, CTRL V is past, etc) and learned how to be more comfortable with word. We also learned how make spread sheets and graphs on Exel, another microsoft program. Example: Graph/Spreadsheet [|Circle Graph Chart.xlsx] ‍‍

The fifth thing we created was an iGoogle account, in this account we added gadets, looked at Google Doc spread sheets and sharing google documents. Also we learned how to upload Word, Excel, and powerpoint presentations and embed them into our google document. There were millions of backrounds to choose from, there was only one you could choose to be the theme for your ‍‍‍‍To An Igoogle page) I Google

Sixth, we we explored another fireworks animation. We were introduced to a new tool. That tool was the vectar tool it made new replications to indtroduce knew photographs to the people who are viewing it. This tool is especially cool because you can change a picture. Also over lay pictures. Example: (Jungle Animals In The Desert)

Through the months of December and January we spent a great deal of time creating animations called claymation. Claymation is when you make objects out of clay that you can use as characters in a frame by frame camera shot motion picture that can eventually be edited with sound, titles, credits, to make and improve your video! Our claymation was based on a story of a car getting ran over by two deer. The man who was injured in the car crash was reported to the hospital as soon as possible. While he attended the hospital there was a nurse who was out to get him. That nurse stabbed and poisned him with a giant needle. * Watch To View Our Claymation Story*

The second last final project we made was a "Flash" production. It had to be thirty seconds long. With atleast a shape, and motion tween, sound, and words. It had to have a story line that actually makes sense. We had a minial three classes to work on this. This project may look easy, but believe me it was not! It took alot of asking questions, time and listening in class to get this project just right. My final project turned out how I wanted it to. It consists of a girl playing basketball credits and a title. *Finished Project* media type="file" key="Basketball game( final copy).swf" width="205" height="141"

As we have our final countdown to finish the year off. We conclude our year of computers (P.A.A) With our last assignment. Our last assignment is to create a Wikki space. This wikki must conclude everything we have learned and to show other people what we did. My last project is the one I am doing now. I am so happy to say that this is coming to an end and all of our final projects are almost in. I hope to all reading this you have a great summer vacation and will be very happy to see you all in the fall! Have a great summer. :)
