Another one down!

I just finished my fourth Lamar class last week, 5366 and I learned quite a bit. I finally dusted off the application folder with Photoshop CS3 on it on my laptop and used it for the first time. I used it to create a personal logo in 5366. I also discovered that Photoshop is a pretty complex program but after a few hours of use I was more comfortable with it. I also made a collaborative website for teachers using google sites and I will be doing this with my own Spanish department at my high school. What is great about collaboration is that everyone can contribute their talents to a project and you also learn effective teamwork, communication and following deadlines.

"Goanimate" in the Spanish classroom!

I had played around with xtranormal.com in my previous Lamar class EDLD 5363 and now I decided to try out goanimate.com The video turned out pretty good and is way less complicated and faster to work with than xtranormal. You are also more limited with the free version of goanimate.com but you can still have fun with it in class. Here is my sample video below... Comida China V2 by travis.patocka on GoAnimate

My Stykz Animation Video, EDLD 5366

I also learned how to work with a few different animation programs. For class I created a short Stykz animation video that I ran through iMovie so that I could incorporate sound and some credits. Good stuff!
