1. Upload your slideshow as a movie to your blog posting. [If you have trouble with this, check to see that you exported it in the correct format.]

2. List the search terms (words) that you used to find images (for the letters of your name and the images that describe you) and why?
~ I typed in "things that look like the letter a/h" for the As and H in Sarah. I typed in "windy road" for the letter S because I knew roads looked like that and thought it would look cool. I typed in "shamrock" for the B because my friend said it would look cool and so did I. I typed in "white picket fence close up" for the E because I knew on the side it would look like an E. I typed in "golden gate bridge close up" for the H because I knew the supports would look like an H. I typed in "cane handle" for the R because I knew it would look like an little r. I typed in "stoplight side close up" for the E because I thought it would look cool. I typed in "st.louis arch" for the N because I love the Arch and thought it looked like a N. I typed in "flamingo neck close up" for the S because I thought it would look pretty. I typed in "softball" for the picture of the softball because I play softball and wanted to include it in my project. I typed in "cross" for the picture of the three crosses because I love Jesus and he is a big part in my life and I wanted to include him in my project

3. What skills did you use/learn in this project?

~ I learned how to make a slideshow in iPhoto and how to export something.

4. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation.

~ I could use this to make a slideshow for a company in the future and how to send it to each person without using email. 

5. This was a more creative project than our first 2. Did you prefer it or the more cut and dry assignments in Word and Excel?

~ I preferred this project more. I was able to be more creative, and it applied more to me which I liked. 

6. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc., How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?
~ I took the images and modified them so they weren't the same as they were when they were on the internet. I cropped many of the pictures and enhanced all of them so they looked brighter and better.

2. My business is the Florida Marlins and they sponsor Food for the Poor.
3. I talked about the terrible conditions in Caribbean islands and asked what they would want other people to do in this situation. 
4. I learned how to Mail Merge, and I can now send out mass amounts of mail to people if I really wanted too. I know how to write a formal letter.
5. The easiest part of the project was adding the logos and making the mailing list. The most difficult part  was writing the letter and putting the addresses in.
6. I could use this to send out party invitations or invitations to a family event. It could be used for advertising. 
7. I learned how companies send out mass amounts of mail without individually addressing each one.

About Me

I hope to learn different tricks on my computer.
I like to be contacted through email and NetClassroom.
This represents me because softball is my life right now. I have it every
day after school and it leaves time for nothing else.
Softball is a passion in my life and I love it so much.
