Journal entry 2

March 27, 2008

So far, our research is going ok. We have done some research, but we still have a lot left to research. For research, I think the research would be very easy because the topics we need to research are easy to find and the research is easy to understand and are quite straightforward. The problem is, I’m not to sure about how much research is required and that whether it has to be printed and placed in our folders.

I do not know much about imovie because I don’t use the Macs that often and I’m not a big fan of them. I have use imovie once before and I do have some idea of how to use it. I think the movie is going be the hardest part of the project. I’m not sure how the project needs to be present but I’m assuming we have to make a movie.

Journal entry 1

March 26, 2008

Today in our lesson, we were filling out the peer evaluation form for the last project. So far, I think my group is behind because the group members seem to be mucking up and the secreatary has not printed anything out. I have read the entry document and it seems very easy.

For the multimedia sales pitch, I would advertise the movie by using things that would capture the attention of people, the information that is going to be presented should be intersting, easy to learn and understand and not boring. That way, more people would use it.

The way the entry document was presented was quite humourous but it was unclear. It was hard to understand what the question was asking. It would be more easier to understand if the people were being more straightforward. The entry document that was on the internet was much better because it was more straightforward and was much easier to understand.
