Real World Project

We made the majority of the tutorial videos in todays lesson. Community Clips isn't very user friendly but once you can figure out how to get it working it is relatively easy to use.

Real World Project-Finished

The part of our assignment that is being marked for our progress mark is uploaded on our Studentnet site.

The theory component of our assignment is done as are most of the 'How-to" video tutorials.
We still need to complete the voice-overs that will be put with the videos to describe what is taking place on the screen. These voice-overs have not been completed due to lack of the equipment needed such as microphones. This is proving to be a problem as the videos that were created by community clips are all done but we can't finish the assignment without the voice-overs. A few more microphones may have to be purchased to overcome this problem.

Diyomira and Drishti spent todays lesson creating the stop motion video that will be our example to show the younger students.
I worked mainly on the theory component of the assignment and downloaded community clips onto my computer so we can start making the tutorials next lesson.

For my groups Real World Project we are doin a stop motion video and a series of tutorial videos to explain how to create the video.

My group consists of Diyomira, Drishti and myself.

Evernote: Evernote is a type of software designed for notetaking and archiving. A "note" can be a piece of text, a webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten "ink" note. Notes can also have file attachments. These notes can be sorted into folders, then tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, searched and exported as part of a notebook.

Evernote clients are available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Android, iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and Google Wave platforms. There are portable versions of Evernote available for flash drives and U3 drives.

A viable competitor for Evernote is Microsoft OneNote.

Assignment- Game Finished

My program that I have made in scratch is finished and works to the desired extent. It would've been good if I could change the background colour but as my images all have white backgrounds it would have looked silly.

The game detirmines whether you have won, lost or have drawn with the computer. To start again you press the space bar. The image below is the result of my pick being paper and the computer picking scissors. Sprite 1 then 'says'

The image above is the result of my pick being paper and the computer picking scissors. Sprite 1 then 'says' lost due to scissors beating Paper.

Assignment

I've decided to make my project using Scratch, App Inventor was to slow and highly unreliable.
With Scratch I'm making a Rock, Paper, Scissors game. The person starts the game and is told to click on what hand position (rock, paper or scissors) they want to use. The computer will randomly generate its own hand position and it will determine whether you won or lost.
