Our second storyboard was turned into an e-book using Power Point. When we first handed in the assignment, it was only to get feedback by Dr. Baylen. We spent one class period reviewing everyone's e-books and seeing how creative people became. I volunteered to show my e-book in class because not only did I want to share it with my classmates, but I also was curious of what needed improvement. When Dr. Baylen played my e-book, there were very little adjustments that I needed to make. The main adjustment was separating my interactive quiz from the actual story. He especially loved my pictures becaue I drew them myself. My story flowed in a different direction than most of the students because other people focused on school, while mine was focused on dancing. However, everyone is creative in their own way and all the stories that were shared were great.
In a previous blog about this activity, I shared what was learned from this activity and what challenges I faced. This is basically a follow up to that blog. When Dr. Baylen reviewed my e-book in class, he mentioned that I needed to hide the sound icon so it doesn't show up on the slide when the story plays. This was one of the challenges I faced in creating the Power Point because I had no idea how to hide the icon. When I asked him in class, he explained that I needed to bring the picture forward in order to hide the icon underneath it. This made everything much easier for me and definately improved the quality of my story. I had no problem readjusting my story because I knew how to do everything I needed to do to improve it. This is one of my favorite activities because it helped me to learn more about computers, not only as a student but as a person too. It increased my knowledge of technology and now I can apply the knowledge I have in the classroom as well as out of the classroom.
