Powtoon Student Resume

This is the Powtoon student resume I made less then 24 hours.

Today we explored Powtoon. I like this tool because it was engaging and fun. In the future, I think I could use this tool to do an assignment such as making slide shows. I love Powtoon because, its different from power point and posters. Powtoon makes it look cool and fun compared to posters or power points.  It makes professional looking animations/videos.

Exploring Photoshop

Before:

After:

What are you trying to communicate with your photo – before and after?

when I took this picture, I wanted to communicate that social distancing shouldn’t be forced or obnoxious, rather it should be for your safety. In this time and wherever you go you need to social distance. when I was editing this picture I wanted it to feel colorful and eye catching. I wanted the colors to be engaging with a very overwhelming  times with these restrictions we have to follow.

What photoshop tools did you use to modify the “after” photo?

I Change the mood, adjust brightness and contrast which would give the picture a brighter look and for the surroundings. I used cool and warm images used filters which would give me depth. I cropped  and straightened the image  to draw focus to the object Shadows and highlights. I remove blemishes and blurred the background to make the message more focused. And I cleaned some parts of the image with the touch-up tool, which allowed me to clean up marks.

What do you want to learn next in Photoshop?

There are many things I want to learn but I few are which, I  want to learn more about the tools that can help emphasize a certain part of an image, how to put effects in images, and layers. I do wish we had more time on Photoshop , because of how creative you can get and having fun with the pictures you take.

 

App Development

What does your App do?

My app is called Too many tabs (TMT). This app is designed to help and reduce the amount of tabs on your device. Too Many Tabs comes with various outputs – the Tab Assistant, the Tab Box, and more. The Tab Assistant is a virtual assistant that organizes your web browser tabs. Your Tab Assistant sends notifications whenever you go over the recommended limit of tabs, find duplicate tabs, and tabs that have not been opened for more than 10  minutes. Your Tab Box is a drop-down library of active tabs. With the Tab Box, you can easily manage, sort,
search, and delete selected tabs with a click of your keyboard.

What parts of the design process did you use in this project?

In this project I used defining, ideating, testing, and sharing. As in this project I defined a problem and ideated a solution to the problem that was caused. Once creating my idea, I tested it. The problem was solved with this app (TMT).I shared it with others and received feedback, which was positive.

 

What are you most proud of?

The most proudest thing I am proud about this project, is the way the poster turned out. It is creative, colorful and eye catching. As well ,as the descriptions.  The dedication and hard- work me and my panther put in, is also something I am most proud of. I want others to recognize that hard work pays off, sooner then later:)

ICT9 and Core Competency Predictions

Communicating See the source image

I believe we have already practiced some communicating in these few days in ICT9. We can contribute more by sharing our ideas, team meetings and communicating on devices, such as our shared groups. Some predictions I have are we will mainly use Microsoft, Edublog  and do group projects in our personal shared groups. Which will make us communicate with our peers.

Collaborating

See the source image

I predict we will do mostly big group assignments to assess how  much we are capable to work together. In the time period of being online, I believe we will be split up and be peered with people in much smaller groups.

Creative Thinking

See the source image

I think we will be trying to be very creative, since being creative is an important skill and we try to be. We will practice and devolve our creativity on technology. Whether  its about learning or for a assignment.

Critical Thinking and Reflective Thinking

See the source image

Having and practicing critical thinking and reflecting thinking is a huge skill and trait for students. As students we use this skill in our future life and through out our school years. I am not perfect at most of theses  core competency but with that it causes growth, by reflecting and thinking how I can improve.

Personal Awareness and Responsibility

See the source image

I believe personal awareness and responsibility will be used a during homework and being hybrid. As well as, being very useful in this type of time and in general. Not only for work but, for wiping devices, sanitizing, and wearing a mask.

Positive Personal and Cultural Identity

See the source image

I believe we have already practiced about positive personal and cultural identity by the “about me”. I predict we will communicate, do assignments and do much more. Not only telling others about our identity but also learning.

Social Awareness and Responsibility

See the source image

This is a very important core competency and being aware of the events taking place. Taking responsibility for yourself and for others. I predict we will do this  as a natural trait/thing.
