In class we worked on GarageBand. It was pretty basic. I made a dub step-ish type song. It was difficult to make it long but I eventually got there. My song kind of sucked and I could have done better but oh well better luck next time. I learned that the new one isn't as bad as I expected in the beginning.

This class I didn't feel like I learned very much... that could be because I didn't really do anything. I started on my podcast a little bit, at least I know where I am headed with it. I did however learn a lot about Adobe Illustrator. That is a really cool program, I made a logo for my "radio station" on it. I also concluded that the old garage band is easier to use than the new one, well at least I am more comfortable with the old one.

In class we started off with presenting Prezis. I started because I wanted to get it over with. Everybody did a pretty great job! I was surprised to see how many people didn't use templates. That is pretty cool. After that we started a garage band project. I have no idea at all what I am going to do with that but I guess I will do a little bit of brainstorming so I have a plan for when I get back to class.

This class I didn't learn much... I just played around with Prezi a bit more. It is kind of hard to make a Prezi from scratch though. I guess it is cool to develop my skills with this program. I made my Prezi on crazy animals. One reoccurring problem I had though was it wouldn't save my work because the pictures were too small or something. That was at home though so I think that it was because my computer is old and slow and couldn't handle the coolness of Prezi.

In Class 1/7/13

We started using Prezi, even though I started last class. Prezi presentations are a million times better than slideshows. They are definitely new and entertaining. In my opinion it isn't very hard to use. I do forget sometimes though that the scroll is zoom but other than that it is pretty simple. That is the beauty of technology these days... everything is so simple and self explanatory for the most part. The first Prezi I made on the history of bow ties was good practice with the program but there isn't much information on bow ties. To expand my Prezi skills I decided to make a full on report for my Personal Finance class semi-final. It turned out pretty good although I am not done with it. I spend like 3-4 hours on it though between the creating and research.

What I learned in class 1/3/13

I presented my slideshows pitch idea about GarageBand. Personally I think my idea can be improved upon but we will see how it goes. I started to work on a prezi. It's a pretty cool program and it's interesting to learn how to use a new interface and navigate my way through the site.
