=Austin Simpson= This is my avatar. It lets my friends know that this is the picture that I have used. When other people see this picture they won't know who I am or have any information about me. I chose it because I sometimes make things happen that aren't always explainable and it is not easy to find out what happend in the picture.

= = =My projects= Add an example of each skill we do in class and a reflection on what you think of it
 * difficulty
 * how you will use it in the future
 * suggestions for changes/tips for future students.

This was a slightly hard project that used hue/saturation and history brush. I will be able to change the color of things like cars but the art history brush will help with a lot of other things. For this project I also needed more time to make the picture just how I wanted it. This was a fun and easy project that we got to expiriment with making a picture that expresses our atitude. If I get photoshop I will be able to make paintings/pictures and this will help me edit pictures or add something to them. I would give a little more time to take more care for the writing.

This was a fairly simple cloning activity that we did with two pictures. I could use this to edit in a person for a group picture at an event if they werent there for the picture. This skill is easy enough that I dont think there needs to be any changes. media type="custom" key="12296902" This was a quick project that is helpful for conveying my attitude. This project helped me learn about glogster and what it can do compared to the other glogster. There were not many diferences between the two sites so I don't think we need to do the glogster presentation because everyone is already familiar with it. This project about cropping was easy. The only part that made this part take longer was that during this I made a mistake by not changing the size of the background that I was pasting my head onto, so I basically just changed the background image. I then had to open a new window of the appropriate side then cropped the head out of the second picture into the future one. In the future I could use this when I am at an event where a group picture is taken but there is someone who could not be there, I would be able to take a seperate picture of him and then crop it into the group photo. I wouldn't really change anything for this project media type="custom" key="12087273" This was a voki project where we created a person and gave him/her something to say with an accent. This was quicker than I expected. It only took a few minutes to decide what to make him do. I think that for things like this we should be able to get more time and really explore all of the possabilities of the websites.

This lesson was working with making different backgrounds. The background on the outside uses clouds, then a gradient, random pattern, and so on. To be able to see all of the backgrounds we use a cut. i will be able to use this along with croping to make different backgrounds in pictures. This was an easy project that used the crop and remove background tools. I will be able to use this in the future for editing out parts of photos or isolating one part of a photo. I would recomend doing the remove background portion part that were my second two photos because I didn't //have// to do the second two photos. media type="custom" key="12420494" width="100" height="100" align="left"

= = This project used a program called scratch. We used preset people so to say that we assighned keys to. I chose to have two things rather than one that can be moved by pressing keys. For the hippo I chose up down left right and for the fish I did wasd. If your press the key once the hippo or fish will face that direction if you press the direction that he's facing then he will move in that direction. = = =Tagxedo= media type="custom" key="11995937" width="58" height="58" This was my tagxedo project that I have done on curiousity. My tagxedo has many synonyms and closely related words to the word curiousity. This was an easy project that I could easily use later for making any picture out of any words. This project was fun and helpful for learning how to make words into pictures witch I have wanted to know how to do for a while. media type="custom" key="12014503" This project used polldady for us to make a simple poll. This was one of the quickest projects except for choosing the question for the poll. This could be helpful to decide what to do because I can just make a poll and let someone. The only thing that I would change is telling us th=o think of what to add ahead of time. =You Teach= This Summative goes under Web 2.0 Skills or Summative--You Teach This is Getting tricky with wikis. We had to choose a skill from the cite below, make sure it worked, and then our group presented to the class. media type="custom" key="12329584" =Collage= This summative goes under Summative--collage = = =Discussions= Participate in discussions with classmates (see discussion tab at top on student pages)
