It's Friday!!

I'm going to be honest - I feel like every other time I start writing a blog post it's Friday!  The weeks are flying by - we are already sending out progress grades and the quarter is going to be over before we know it!!  Today, as we get going, please make sure you have posted a blog for the "Working with Symbols and Managing our Library" assignment - also known as the Windmill Assignment. Similar to previous assignments, the blog questions are:

• Describe the assignment you just completed? What was the task and what needed to be done in order for you to successfully complete the assignment?
• What new skills did you learn from completing this assignment? Be specific and use correct names for the different tools you needed to use to complete the assignment. ie Classic Motion Guide, Keyframes, symbols, etc.  Reread the assignment description or watch the tutorial to remind yourself
• Was the assignment easy to complete? Did you have any trouble? What did you have trouble with and how did you resolve the issue? What was the most fun aspect of the project and the most challenging?
• Besides making the windmill rotate consistently using these new skills, what other types of animations could you make successfully now using similar tools to the ones used in this project?

Think of today as another new start (especially for your blogs).  The work that was previously assigned is over and done with.  For those of you who had a great start, keep it up - for those of you who struggled as we got going, now's your time to stay focused.  In the scheme of things, we haven't done that many assignments so grades can still fluctuate a lot with each assignment!  For your blog - please be sure to write well written thorough responses that you would be proud to share your friends, family and, of course, ME :)

After you have completed this blog post, we are onto our next assignment - "Continuing our Work with Symbols & adding a simple panning technique" ... due to the nature of the assignment we will also refer to this as "The Flying Butterfly Effect."  Step by Step instructions and a video tutorial (by me) can all be found in Schoology - so be sure to login and read the assignment description!!

Thanks everybody and, hey, Happy Friday!
