Work hard on completing work & posting it to your ePortfolio today! Hope you all have a safe, restful and wonderful week off of school!

If you completed an assignment last week or this week, please open your ePortfolio and call me over so that I can check it and make sure my gradebook is up to date.

Remember, this is a VERY short six weeks. So you need to make the most of your class time.

Put your phones away!

Please let me know if you experience any problems with the computers – new or old. I need to know what you were doing when the problem happened.

I’m on a field trip with A/V Production students today. Remember, to put your phones away when you come into class.

Those of you on the new computers…

1. You will need to SYNC to your One Drive today so that you can access your saved files and save new ones there. If you need reminders of how to do that, refer to this post from earlier in the year.
2. You’ll need to download your software from the Adobe Creative Cloud. I downloaded the Creative Cloud on all computers – every computer should have it now. Use your school email to log in: username@students.lcisd.org
3. Your files won’t appear in the software because it’s the first time on this computer – you’ll need to search for your files in your One Drive. If you can’t find them, you didn’t save them to your One Drive and you’ll need to start over. Sorry!
4. ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT!

GDI – Photoshop
A/V – Edit and post your Short Film
PAAVTC – Animate (or completing last Photoshop Challenge)
Comp Sci – Completing Unit 5, Lesson 13. I’ll give you test results tomorrow.

Remember that your phones & earbuds should be put away at the start of class. If you’re not doing your work, the sub may give you an alternative writing assignment to be due at the end of class.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Graphic Design – Year 2 students, You’ll get a practice Photoshop Test to take during 1st period. Turn it in to the sub when you complete it. Then move on to PS work with Year 1 students. There are cameras available if needed – ask the sub.

A/V – BEFORE you work on editing…
ALL of you need to come up with 3 good and unique questions that you’d ask the director. It can be related to the film/story itself, or pre-production (planning) or post-production (editing). Turn it in to the sub – it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes.

PAAVTC – you should be wrapping up Photoshop and beginning your Animate challenges. If you get stuck, there are students in both classes that have already started Animate – ask for help, don’t just sit there.

Comp Sci – Unit 5, through lesson 13. Please remember to work on it over the weekend if you are behind. Ask for help if you need it.

Work hard and have a great day!

I’ll get the points and gold for the 2nd six weeks updated this week!

Which is really only FOUR weeks, plus 1 week for exams. So this will be a busy time for all. Please make sure that you are staying on track!

Periods 1 – 3 – Please add a new page to your ePortfolio called “3rd Six Weeks,” where you’ll add all of the work for this 6 weeks.

Periods 4 – 5 – Please add a new page to your ePortfolio called “Animate,” where you’ll add all of the work for this new software.

Comp Sci – Some of you didn’t turn in your Spirals. It’s killing your grade! Also, I dropped your lowest minor grade. You’re welcome!
Unit 5 – Assessment 2 will be Thursday. It covers through Lesson 10. This is the plan for the next 3 weeks – stay on track with each lesson, don’t wait until the end to try and cram it in.
