To say the least, GCT was probably one of my favourite classes this year. I loved the fact that this class took place inside a classroom, and sometimes it was outside when we went on our little walks and field trips where we could put what we learned into use. I could definitely see myself using a lot of the things I learned in the future, like using typography when making a presentation to make important points stand out. Before I took this class, I barely knew anything about cameras but I always thought that the idea of taking pictures and making them look better using Photoshop was exciting. I also learned how to take better photos with the right settings and adjustments, even the different angles photos could be taken at. And if I didn't like the way they turned out I could always use an editing program or website to do something different. What I liked the most was that almost all the time, we were free to do what we wanted in terms of making things look great. I'll definitely miss this class, and the unique ways Mr. Harbeck taught us to do thingsヾ(●⌒∇⌒●)ﾉ

- I believe that the message in MLK's speech is to acknowledge racial inequality, and to try and get people to change the way they act or think towards people of a different race. The slide that was most important to me was the slide about allowing freedom to ring, and with that it would speed up the day to when everyone of every race and religion are able to accept each other, holding hands singing that they're, "Free at last."
- The creative uses of fonts in my presentation was most of the time changing the color, font, or size to emphasize certain words or phrases that are important in the speech. I also played with the spacing a lot to add contrast and uniqueness to my presentation.
- I'll use fonts creatively in the future for school and work, to bring the audience's attention to the important points in my presentation.
- The most difficult part of using powerpoint in this project was the fact that I had to send it to myself back and fourth from school and from home. The fonts I used at home would be different from what I used at school, and vice versa. I would have to change them again, which took up a lot of time as well.
- I converted my powerpoint to a WMV using Windows Movie Maker, since I didn't have the 2010 version of Powerpoint and couldn't do it straight from the presentation. I had to save my slides as pictures and I had to insert all the pictures into Windows Movie Maker, as well as the audio. I adjusted the amount of time the slides would show so it would go with what he was saying in the speech. Then I just saved my movie, and uploaded it to Youtube.
- I would change this assignment, and make it less time-consuming but other than that the whole thing was pretty straight-forward and I didn't really have problems knowing what I'm supposed to do.

This is mine and Faith's final stop motion animation. We basically just fixed the amount of time on some of the pages so you're able to read them, and know what we were doing. Other than that, we didn't do much to change our stop motion. I really like how it turned out, because we didn't spend that much time planning it, but it still turned out better than we hoped. We didn't have that much trouble putting this together because we just used very simple household items. We called it 'How To Be An Explorer of the World', because it's the name of the book we used. It basically consists of us doing activities from the book, including having to take a walk and finding things, or collecting small household items.

This is mine and Faith's first stop motion draft. We called it 'How To Be An Explorer of the World', because it's the name of the book we used. It basically consists of us doing activities from the book, including having to take a walk and finding things, or collecting ignored household items. We've made some errors, like at some parts it's too fast whereas you'd have to pause to read the words written in the book to know what we're doing. Our stop motion can surely be made better, but here's what we have.

This was my first attempt to make a stop motion animation. I took at least sixty pictures in total and I deleted the ones I didn't need. I then put the pictures together to make my stop motion. My stop motion is of my Wreck This Journal book and the activities that you do in it. I like my stop motion because it's creative, having to use my Wreck This Journal because the book itself encourages people to be creative. In my stop motion, I want to change the fact that you can't read the words on the pages.
