RIP Kim Bentley

Youre friendship and smile will never be forgotten.

Week 11

After editing and making our YSAA video better than ever, we uploaded it to youtube.  Creating my third photostory 3 movie was much easier than I thought it would ever be.  I spent fifteen minutes changing and adding slides and put it together.  I am proud of Brittany and I's work and I wish every other assignment we have still left to do in this tschnology class would be that easy.  The youtube link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YqhhqEBqnk or just watch it here!

Week 10

This week, I finished up both my individual and collaborative Photo Story.  After doing my individual first, I found it much easier to make the YSAA video.  After creating everything on Microsoft Power Point, I had to individually save every slide.  This took forever. I tried to save them all at once, but I ended up not being able to find them anywhere so I went back to saving each slide.  I am happy with the finished product though.  I never thought something like this would be so easy to make and look so good.  Here is my individual video.  If you would like to check out the YSAA video visit our collaborative blog at http://sportsforallandallforsport.blogspot.com/.

Also this week, I worked on data bases and spread sheets.  I was very intimidated before starting this project because I have never used Microsoft Excel.  I thought it was going to be a terrible experience trying to create all kinds of spread sheets and form letters.  Actually once I got the hang of it, I thought it was pretty easy.  The software pretty much does all the work by itself.  All you need to do is plug information into the cells.  I can see how this would be very helpful when working for an organization or a business.  You could spend forever typing out letters to each athlete and cutting and pasting their information.  If you would like to see all I have created on Excel, follow my link called "My Excel Experience" on my website at http://www.student.lhup.edu/erandall/.

Week 9

So far this week has been pretty easy work.  We split up tasks in my group to complete the assignments.  I was back to working on the newsletter and I am proud to say it is finally done.  After figuring out that pages are located in the bottom left corner, I flew through the work!   Here is the finished product!

Week Eight

This week will be very busy for me.  On Wednesday, I will be flying out to Phoenix, Arizona to compete in my first wrestling tournament of the season.  This being said, I decided to start working on this week's EDTF homework.  Tonight, I spent a couple hours working on Microsoft Publisher to create my team organization's newsletter.  I love using the templates provided by publisher, but sometimes I wish there wasn't so many options and things to click on.  I am confused on how to create multiple pages of my newsletter without deleting everything I just worked on.  So far this is what I have created for my newsletter.  I am happy with what I created, I just wish I could figure out the page thing to finish it!

Have a great weekend wherever you are!  I can't wait for the heat of Arizona!

Week Seven

This week in EDTF class, we worked on hyperlinking both websites and documents to our websites.  We created another website for each of the technology experiences we have had.  For example, we created a website just for our experience Microsoft Publisher.  On this site we linked our resume, brochure, flyer, business card, and award certificate as both a PDF file and a document on publisher.  We also created pictures of each document and added them to the publisher experience so viewers are able to look at what we have created before attempting to print it out. 
The only assignment due this week was our individual presentation proposal for our dream organization.  We described our dream organization and then listed all the different types of technology we have learned to use in our EDTF class.  Along with the list was examples of how our dream organization would be able to use the technology.  Looking back after completing this list, I realized just how much we have learned in this class.  You can look at my hyperlink abilities by viewing my website at http://www.student.lhup.edu/erandall/.

Week 6

This has been a busy week in our EDTF class.  We spent Monday working on Microsoft Publisher to create business cards, resumes, and award certificates.  At first I thought it would be hard to create these projects, but thankfully Publisher has many great templates to make things easy for you.  All we had to do was select the template we liked and then insert our information.  It was simple and fast to complete.  Below you can see my business card.  Also, while you're looking at my website check out my new photostory!  If you would like to see all I created feel free to visit my website at http://www.student.lhup.edu/erandall/.
