PAAVTC Fall Exam

You need a pen or pencil!!!

You can use your ePortfolio and Google to help you with your exam, but you cannot use each other. 

You may listen to music in your headphones, but you should be able to hear me if I say something. 

You want to do as many of the mini-projects as you can to add up to 100 points. But do them well! Save them as the directions say, don’t skip requirements, and make sure your full name is on each image or SWF file. 

Turn in your checked paper with your name on it when you are finished. Then sit quietly so that others can finish.

You can see examples here.

Doodle for Google

Google hosts a contest to create a new logo every year. The contest opens January 7th, and all of the details will be posted. The winning design wins $30,000 for themselves and $50,000 for their school.

3 classes left

Until we start semester exams. Make the most of your  time. Remember to put your phone away to eliminate distractions. Let me know when you are finished so I can check your Canvas. 

Canvas ePortfolio “Embed Image” update:  January 7th is when Canvas plans to roll out the  fix to this problem.

Jury Duty

Please make sure that you are focused on completing assignments. The sub has 1 camera available if you need to use it, make sure it gets returned at the end of class.

Audio/Video

There are still a couple of you that are editing your course selection trailer – you should continue. The rest of you are going to start planning for your How-To Video. Refer to the directions in the challenge. You will turn in your story idea and what you’ve completed with your script/storyboard when you leave.

PAAVTC

Continue working with your Animate lessons. Remember to show me what you’ve completed tomorrow so that I can enter it in Skyward.

Computer Science

Continue working with your partner through the Unit 3 Lessons. Remember to add vocabulary and codes/explanations to your spiral at the beginning of each lesson. Answer the Check for Understanding questions at the end of each lesson.

PIT

Each of you should be working on the Lesson 14 Animated Card. Check your progress to the requirements in the rubric.  Turn the rubric in if you have filled it out. Hit the Share Button on the last bubble to get a share link, and email it to me: Kristen.Samuelson@

PAAVTC – Animate Errors

If you are working on the Camera, Scenes & Buttons Challenge in Adobe Animate, go ahead and skip over Stage 4 where you add buttons and Actions. Everyone seems to be getting the same errors, and I’m unable to figure out why. When I do, we’ll go back and work on them.
