IMD I - Welcome to Interactive Media Design!

Congratulations on joining IMD. It's going to be an exciting and challenging two years.

You first assignment is to create an "about me" slide show using powerpoint. I'll spend about 5 minutes covering the powerpoint basics and then I'll let you create your presentation.

Here's the criteria for the project:

Include information about:
Your hobbies and interests

Your home school

Tell us about yourself! Feel free to add any school appropriate information you would like to share.

Be creative, If you have time add transition, animation, sound, the sky is the limit.

You will be sharing your presentation with the class.

I couldn't pull the trigger!

To the senior class of 2010,

At the beginning of the summer I said to myself "I want all of my seniors to enjoy their break, I'll wait a couple of weeks before posting their assignment"

After a couple of weeks I revisited the idea. I had been working on revamping the capstone and ires project, I had the new ires planning assignemt in my copy buffer one click away from posting it to the blog. Then pangs of guilt as I thought about the sad faces of my students being assigned homework over the summer. I couldn't pull the trigger! Hopefully everyone has put a little thought into a capstone / ires topic and theme. We'll talk about it when were back in school.

I hope you've enjoyed your vacation. It's going to be an exciting year.

See you next week!

Mr.F
