Google Day #2

Google 20% Project Day 2:

Today we decided to change the song we're going to do in the music video. So, our
3 goals for the day are:
*How to overlap music in imovie 
*How to incorporate video and text 
*How to overlay videos

Links with description of why they are useful to your goals:
-How to overlay videos (REALLY HELPFUL) because we could put a picture with another picture on top and it added a very "professional" effect to the video
-Overlapping Audio :)  With the help of this video we managed to add two sound effects at the same time and you can change the volume of each one.
-How to manipulate text in iMovie  Very helpful tips on how to use text 
-Using green screen effect
^this video was helpful but when we did it, our video was very low quality 

Evidence of what you learned or learned to do and a description of your new knowledge or skills:
Today we added overlayed videos, overlapped music and a very interesting map where we could add the location and the map moved... so cool. At first, I couldn't overlay videos, but then a comment on the video said you needed to change the preferences to advanced. So I did. After that you need to add a video/ image and then add one on top by dragging it. After that, a menu will apear and you select "cut" and after that you change the opacity so that you are able to see both images. After that you are done! To overlap text, you just drag it on top of the other, click on custumize and change the volume of one of them so it doesn't sound weird. 

*The green tabs, are sound effects and music
*The Map is the moving map that shows our location of where we filmed each part of the video
*At the end, are the two overlaying images and in the bottom, the overlapped sound effects.


One thing that you want to learn next Google day:
Next Google day I want to learn how to work with the "green screen" effect and a very important thing, how to properly lip sync on iMovie.
These two things are especially important since we are doing a music video. The videos we watched about the green screen would make the image look like if it was a very bad quality even if it wasn't so we want to improve our green screen skill.

Slotted!

Website:
http://slotted.co

What is the website for?
This website is really usefull if you like making lists and keep track of everything you need for an event. For example if you are having a Pool Party and you don't want to bring all the food, you can make an online list and invite people to join it and bring some food.

For example: I made a Pool Party Event and it looks like this:

If people click on "Slot Me" then they would compromise on bringing that specific food on that date.

How to make a Sheet?
1.Open a new tab on your explorer
2.A black, orange and white website will come up
3.On the bottom in the center, there are 3 icons: facebook, google and mail, choose the one you want to sign on to.
4.On the left corner you will see a tab that says "Create a Sheet"
5.A new screen will pop-up saying "Create a new sheet" so there you add the title of your even and a description of what the event is, what you will do etc. Then it asks you to put the number of puppies you see, so you do that and click on create.
6.Then it will say:

For each person who signs up, I want to capture

so, what do you want the info of the person who sign up to bring something say? So you choose the option you like the best. 

7.Then you need to add the date of your event, if you clik on no date, then it will take you to the next step but if you click on "one or more specific dates" then you add a date and click the plus sign for as many dates as you want and click done.

8.

Does your sheet have time slots?

Click yes if you want to add the time, if not just click Next.

9.

Enter time slots for 7/4/2012

that will come of you you wanted to add time slots, just add the time and click the plus sign.

10. Then a screen like this will show up and you add the item for example "Coke" 

11.After adding the item a screen with clear instructions will come up and you just fill in the blacks.

12. And then you choose if you want to invite people or not...

13.Then you just wait for people to slot.

Above you saw my example of a way I used this site in the Pool Party Event.

Other students may use it for class parties, for presentations (like who brings a poster, who brings markers) and like that you never forget the things you need to do or bring. This website is easy and fun to work with. 

Digital Nation

Agreements:
1. No one supervises what you do on the Internet at home, you could do anything and no one would ever know!
2.While we use computers we are like in another world because we're there physically but not mentally.
3.We don't actually have vacations now because we're always checking news/ chatting with friends who are not there.
4.We are procrastinators because of the Internet because we use it while studying and we waste time.
5. Internet can be an diction because we want more and more of it, like on Face Book we keep refreshing the news feed even though we know there is nothing new.
6.Internet Camp is good for addicts, it makes them realize what they are missing by being inside.
7. To avoid addiction we need to be taught since we are little how to manage our time on the Internet.
8. Teenagers just know how to use technology! We are never taught anything we just explore it and learn from it.
9. We are more interested in class if we are using technology, it becomes boring if not.
10. We should embrace the technology we have. I mean think about it... technology is amazing.
11. Walking into a class with no media is like walking into a desert, its true it feels like we are in another world when there is no technology around us.
12. People are using the internet irresponsibly, like the woman that quit her job because she wanted to play a game!

Disagreements:
1. They shouldn't allow computers all class, it should be like only 30 min because if not, we just don't focus completely.
2.The Internet keeps us from living a normal life. I disagree because this doesn't happen if we know how to manage it.
3."Technology is line oxygen" That is a bit exaggerated, we need to learn how to live without the Internet.
4.Our writ ting skills do not suffer because of technology, the other way around! They are enriched.
5.Books will never go away! They are precious and new generations need to appreciate them.
6.Meeting people on Internet games is not good! People can be whoever they want on the Internet, but not on real life! We need to socialize, not be on the computer.
7. People can't multitask, its very hard and you cant give your 100 percent into one thing, you just do all the things you are doing at the same time badly.
8. "Height affects your negotiation skills" I disagree completely, not just because you are tall does that mean that you have a better chance of being successfully, that's ridiculous.
