Progress on Homecoming Newsletter

Hey everyone! The newsletter that Sophie, Madisen, and I have been putting together is almost complete. All of our articles are written and we have put many pictures on it. However, we are still uploading pictures from the Homecoming dance and pep rally. Also, we have to find the scores of some sporting events that took place during Homecoming week. Overall, this has been a really fun project and I have throughly enjoyed it. 

Intellectual Development

I have many intellectual goals for this year. First, I hope to receive all A's on my report card for all four quarters. I know that this will entail me studying hard and spending more time on my homework. Second, I think that I will grow more, in an intellectual sense, if I really pay attention in class. By gaining more knowledge, I will become a wiser, more intellectual person. I believe that having intellectual goals helps a person to be more successful.

Homecoming Newsletter

This week we were given a new assignment. We got to choose two people to be in a group with. My partners are Sophie and Madisen. Our job is to make a newsletter for Homecoming. So far, ours looks really good. We are actually pretty close to being finished. All we have to do is upload some pictures and finish an article. I am really enjoying this assignment because we got to choose our partners. I really hope that ours gets chosen to be in the school newspaper!

Emotional Development

I feel that being emotionally sound is something that can bring great success upon a person. This year I hope to be more nurturing to my emotional development. I think that this will allow me to perform well in and outside of school. First, I will become more organized. By being more organized, I will have less stress and, therefore, be happier. Also, I could try to be more appreciative for the things in my life. I hope to become much more emotionally developed during my sophomore year.

PowerPoint Assignment

Our most current assignment in computer class is a PowerPoint presentation. The topic was a saint of our choice. I chose St. Clare of Assisi because I found her life to be really interesting. PowerPoint is the Microsoft equivalent to Mac's Keynote. Although I feel somewhat bad admitting this, I must say that I found the PowerPoint to be much easier to use. Maybe this is because I have no prior experience with Keynote. However, I really enjoyed this assignment and am very proud of my presentation.

Spiritual Development

This year, I hope to become closer to God and allow my faith to grow. I can accomplish this by going to Mass more often. I could also read the Bible more and really try to understand its message. Finally, I will try to pray more. I feel that by doing these things, I will become closer to God.

Storyboard Assignment

Hey everyone! Our latest assignment is making a music video using the Storyboard application. It is alot of fun so far, although we are not completely finished. The song that I chose was Imagine by the Beatles. I chose this song because I think that it has a very clear message, which will be easy to portray. I will try to keep you all updated throughout this project.

First Post!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! This blog is an assignment for my Introduction to Technology class. I really enjoy learning about all of the applications that Macs have. However, I think that we are moving a little too fast. That being said, I also realize that there are many activities that we need to accomplish before the end of the semester. I really enjoy this class and have learned alot.
