Hi. I'm commenting on Adam's blog.... I'm also commenting on Karl's blog...
Please see previous blogs for my personal introduction.... Don't you just love the color PINK!!! I do!!! :)
So how will learning to design a website benefit me? It can benefit me in several ways..... I hoping that one day if I have a computer web design class -- that this class here will have taught me a few fundamentals in web design so I won't be teaching "cold turkey" and make a fool of myself..... "hands on" experience for me is the best way to learn.... Web design should also teach me something about organization and planning which will also assist in keeping one organized. I have always enjoyed Fawn's class ..... so this class should go well also.... I play tennis so I'm linking to the USTA website.... if you look around there long enough you will see my picture somewhere.... lol.... have fun!

I’ll assess the overall quality of your blog here. Visual appeal, content depth, insight expressed, use of graphic imagery, completeness (added links, image in profile; basically- made the most of what is available).
I don't think I took advantage of all the things that are available in the blog area. I was just overwhelmed with life and with the video project that that took precedence.
Thanks for this opportunity to be able to express ourselves via this blog!

Discuss the changes you notice in your understanding and skill with the technical resources and concepts we have used in class.
I think the more you work with a program the easier it gets and the skill level increases as with anything. One has to do the hard work to get the fun benefits... Nothing ever comes "free" or on a silver platter.
There is so much to learn and I don't think one will ever comprehend all the ways in which something can be done in a program!

Discuss ideas you have for how you might use video production professionally.
I've been working on my video at my church in the publications department and it has been quite fun. Several people have been curious as to what I am doing and some have even commented about me working on a project for them. It is amazing how things come together even when you're not trying. I have a strong faith in God and I think it is funny how the "coincidences" of life are not that but are the Hand of God working in our lives!! It has been a hard project but I look at the benefits and rewards and the benefits outnumbers the challenges!
I'm glad we did this project!

Explain the video you plan to make. Include (but don’t limit it to) discussion of what it is about, what you will use to make it, who is doing what, how you plan to work together, etc.
The movie that I am making is about my son's basketball season. This is his last year at his middle school and he is the captain of the team. I thought that if I could capture the memories of this season and make a movie about it, it would accomplish the goals of this class ; and it would also accomplish making some memories. I also thought that if it turned out good enough we could copy the movie and my son could give it to his classmates and a gift as well as the school could use it to promote their sports program. I am excited about getting this assignment accomplished. I am working on the project by myself but I've had help in getting pictures and video segments from the other parents who have children on both the boy's and girl's basketball team. This is the first year that both the girl's and boy's have gone to district and both teams brought back to the school -- the ultimate..... trophies!!! What an accomplishment they have had and I'm hoping to do the same. lol... :)

Discuss the process of creating your video. Discussion should include but not be limited to: how you chose your group, how you came up with your ideas, how (logistically as well as qualitatively) you worked together on the project.
The process of creating my video topic: hmmm.... I don't feel that I'm very creative and deciding on a topic was very difficult. However, via some discussion with classmates, I decided to piggyback on Mrs. C's idea of creating a basketball video of my son's basketball team. This would actually meet the requirements of this class as well as make a meaningful gift to the boy's basketball team. I've contacted the parents and all of them who took various pictures, etc. are willing to let me use them to create this video.... I'm working on this project alone and am hopeful that it will be fun, creative, and meaningful.

What do graphic design and page layout have to do with contemporary literacy and learning?
Another good question.... lol... I believe that we are living in a era where computer literacy is an absolute MUST! Graphic design provides a learning environment that fosters creative thinking and personal artistic development which influences one's literacy and learning. Today's students are more advanced because they have grown up with computers and have accquired many of the features necessary to be computer literate. Graphic design enables students to visualize many concepts that used to be in text form only. It also allows for a more interactive and fun way to learn!
For me, I just wish I had more time to play with these programs. It just takes practice and use to become good at this! :)

Discuss ideas you have for how you might use page layout or newsletters professionally.
Hmmmm...... good question.... I think that page layout and/or newsletter could be taught in the classroom for student taking business courses. Since I'm taking courses to become a teacher this might be a good thing... lol....
When I did my newsletter project, I made a newsletter regarding my in-home business -- Reiss Enterprises -- which is a Shaklee Distributorship. For me in my Shaklee business, a newsletter would be really valuable to be able to stay in touch with consumers using my products and it would allow me to share new products, give out coupons, educate my clients regarding various products and to motivate my clients to purchase more products.
The options for using page layout and/or the newsletter is a varied as one's creativity.

The topic is to discuss how I must use image editing professionally.... hmmmm..... not sure.... my job currently is working at a tennis club and i don't use the computer much there.... when I graduate OSU in Business Education and possibly get a business teaching position I might be able to implement image editing in a classroom of students and help them to edit images..... I have volunteered at my church on several occasions in the communications department and possibly I could use image editing there. :) It has been a challenge learning and implementing PhotoShop.....

Ouch, I'm feeling the pain of technology.... Difficulty doesn't even begin to describe what I'm experiencing in this class at the moment. I'm sure it will get better. One of my challenges is finding the time to play with PHOTOSHOP.... and then being able to perform the tasks that we have done in class.... This too shall pass and I will get these projects done!!1 :)

2nd post
Wow -- my experience with PhotoShop. Well, last week I volunteered at my church and helped the Multimedia Director with a project of resizing photo files. It was a good experience and got me more acquainted with PhotoShop. That was my first experience outside of this class.
As far as this class is concerned, I'm using pictures that a friend of mine took from alot of different areas in Europe. He lives there 1/2 of the month and then in Columbus the other half but he also travels alot when in the US. I'm looking forward to using some of the techniques in this class to recreate, redesign, etc. images. I'm not sure how I will use PhotoShop in the future but it may be in my course of study to teach at some point so this is great to study the basics now.

Introduction - 1st blog by Janet
Hi there.... My name is Janet and I'm a returning full-time college student majoring in Business Education at Ohio State University finishing my degree that I started some 30 years ago. I'm taking this course as it is required for my major. I'm interested in multi-media productions; and I hope to learn more about PhotoShop and how to make movies. I also own my own health and nutritional business -- Reiss Enterprises and work at it on a part-time basis. If you would like to contact me to order any nutritional supplement, please feel free to click here. I have three children -- a daughter, Rebekah, who is married to Justin and lives in Austin, Texas; a son, Dan, who was attending college at Columbus State; and another son, Steve, who is 14, attends Polaris Christian Academy and lives with me on a part-time basis.
