1. What progress am I making this week? (show an example of your photo, or a screenshot of what you're working on!)

• I have been taking multiple photos and exploring different ways of making photos look more artistic.
• Editing the photos I take on Adobe Photoshop CS5.
• Taking videos with cool camera apps from an iphone.
• Attempting to find a way to download youtube videos on to my account to make a dance mashup.

2. What am I learning (independently?) Be specific as possible.

• I have learned different techniques on photoshop such as making different colors stand out. As well as sharpening and hue.
• I have learned how to make a storyboard.

3. What challenges do I have?

• I have had many challenges trying to find a decent program that allows me to download youtube videos onto my account.
• When I first started using photoshop I was quite cofused on how the program worked. Even though I get the jist of it, I still am having difficulties.

4. What are next steps for the week

• Begin to plan the storyboard for me and Shiannes mashup video.
• Continue to find a site to download youtube videos.
• Continue editing photos/videos, as well as taking pictures.

This dancer, Jasmine Meakin, really inspires me with her choreographed pieces !!! Heres one that particularly stood out to me  because its silly ..and it still looks AMAZING>>>>>

Typing Test Feb. 23, 2012

Starting Speed: 19 wpm
End Online Typing Test: 43 wpm
Paper Test: 35 wpm
Did I meet my goal? I met my goal on the online typing test.
How did it go overall? I thought it was really difficult to type without looking at the keyboard but I think my typing skills got a bit better C:

What Do I need to Do this week?
Complete my E-Portfolio, do my typing test.
Why?
I need to complete my E-portfolio so I can have a better idea of what I plan to achieve in life and to better understand the person that I am and going to become.
I need to do the typing test to see how my typing skills have grown.
Whats my plan?
I am going to point out a couple of specific learning experiences that i have had that have really had an influence on what I want to be later in my life.
Which aspect may be a struggle?
I think that the difficult part of this is going to be finding the two important learning experiences that I have had that have had an a effect on my life the most.
Why?
I think this will be difficult because I don't have that many experiences that I could think of that I have really thought of being apart of my future career.
What do I do about it?
 I will think of alot of activities that I have participated in school that have really helped me in different areas such as speaking infront of an audience.
What area do I shine in?
I am usually good at explaning myself.

Most of my technical difficulties were when I was trying to post something. I am not very good with computers because they are really confusing so I usually just ask for help when i'm lost.
