Where are we?

1. We have tons of photos are might be ready to put photos into the ActiveWorlds

a) Proud of? I am proud of how far we have come in learning about the camera and PhotoShop

b) Learning? Mikayla and I have both learned SO MUCH about PhotoShop, (colors, levels, exposure, effects, etc....)

c) Challenges? At the beginining of editing our photos, we didn't know anything about PhotoShop and we were putting off how to learn. Yet with some help from fellow class mates we got it down!

d) What's next? Take a few more photos, finish up editing, putting on the final touches, adding photos to the ActiveWorlds, and making a blueprint for a magazine of photos possibly.

Uploading our favourites to my blog

Independent Learning
I have learned a lot about the camera and focusing and shooting from different angles and perspectives.

The only challenges are technical problems with uploading.

Typing Test Finals

Today I did two typing test finals. One was online and I got 56wpm!!!! My goal was 50 and it felt really good to beat my goal. Then I did a paper typing test. We typed up, on Microsoft word, five paragraphs. You had to do it in five minutes. If not then you didnt get the full mark. I typed almost five paragraphs!

What do I need to do this week? Feb 20 - 24

I need to express all evidence in my eportfolio because it is being looked at on thursday. I also need to work on my typing skills (speed) to get closer to my goal because we have a final testing also on thursday. To complete these tasks I need to stay focused and be confident that I can accomplish them.

Self-Directed Learning

My problem area is MOTIVATION because it is hard to get started and keep working on something that I am not interested in. Yet I am dedicated to completing work in school and making the project stand out. My dedication is definitely my motivation.

My shining area is SELF-EFFICACY because I am confindent in my ability to finish the task at hand.

Self-Directed Learning

I am a self-directed learner. Today I got all my tasks completed and I didn't need a monitor to monitor me while doing this.

Technology Challenges

When I got my blackberry it was hard for me to adjust to the keyboard, but once I got used to it being curved inwards it was fast and effective. Also, using the trackpad/scroll box instead of arrows was kinda hard. Now that I am used to it, it is fast and easy to use for effectiveness.
