First Week of September Block Day!

Logging in today! You will use your Google Username (Student ID) and Password (LD032300). There is a chance you won't have access to your FLASH Files - stay calm and I'll locate them if that's the case :)

Moving forward - good morning and Happy Wednesday!! Thanks so much for working well on your Motion Guide Animations yesterday. You are learning a lot of new skills and, while there is still a lot to learn, this first part can often be the steepest of the learning curve!! Stay calm, focus and you'll do great!! A reminder that once you are done with your motion guide assignment, please export it to a Quicktime file and upload to youtube for your blog and please export it as a .swf movie file and upload to schoology. For more specific instructions, please refer to our previous blog.

Under the video you post to the blog, please quickly respond to the following:

• Explain the assignment in your own word for the person who may be viewing this assignment.
• What were you expected to do to successfully complete this assignment?
• What were 3 different tools (or more if you want to be extra thorough) that you had to work with in Flash to successfully complete this project?
• What did you enjoy about this project? What was challenging? Why, when sometimes things are difficult, is it an important characteristic to be resilient?

After completing and posting this assignment, please hang tight - you may use any additional time before we move on to complete homework or classwork for another class or work on something quietly at your own computer!! Let's see how everyone is doing and then we'll move on!

Thanks and looking forward to a great block day and seeing some amazing animations!
