Diary Entries: <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">;29/11/10: <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">It was the first day of transition week and we didn't have a clue on what it'll be on about. As we started of with being in team members, our group consisted of Jodie, Stephanie and Jane. We were all motivated for the challenges that were given especially the big challenge which is producing the final product of the movie. We also had a look at samples of movies that we can get an overall idea from but the connectivety of the network was so slow so we didnt get much out of that. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">;30/11/10 <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">As the second day progressed, each team member had a different role in completing the tasks for the day. We began the day by going to the tutorials and learning how to perform our roles for our challenge. Stephanie learnt how to use i-movie by dragging images and using effects. Jodie learnt how to use photoshop and crop photos aswell as feather the image. I learnt how to organise the research in a shortened way to get a narrowed search result. Later on, we began the challenges by completing the close-passage first. We earnt 60 points for that task. We then had to complete the tasks that were given to us. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">;01/12/10 <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">We began the day by going to our tutorials for the first period. Jodie learnt how to extend the size of images and colliding them together. Stephanie learnt how to put sound effects into the i-movie video and I learnt about websites that are helpful for making a bibliographic attribution that can be added at the end of the movie. The second period we had to do an 'All My Own Work' activity which required each member to read their given sheet and then summarise it into 3 different parts. After, we had to write three questions to be answered by a group using the terms of last nights challenge. We then swapped it with the group beside us to answer the 3 questions we had to come up with. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Period five was going online and completing a quiz which was based on the terms from last nights challenge. The last period we had time to work on our movie planning/editting. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">;02/12/10 <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">The second last day of transition week had us all focused on each of our roles. We started the day by going to our tutorials. We then had to complete the final 'All My Own Work' module by joining a group and making a small act that would represent our chosen idea which is the benefit of producing our own work. Later, we had the rest of the time to work on the completion of our project. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">;03/12/10 <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Today, the last day of transition week has each and everyone of us challenged and abit stressed because we're thinking that we might be missing something or while we're presenting we leave out something. Overall, it has been a hard-working/challenging week that has made us learn that we can work cooperatively in a team and be challenged to do anything.

<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #ffda00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">1. I have put 'define' as the easiest because we just have to give the meaning to the word <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #ffda00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">2. 'Summarise' is the fourth last from the associated words because we have to usually express the relevant details of the subject which is usually more than a paragraph. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #ffda00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">3. I have put 'recommend' before 'investigate' because when you recommend something you usually give useful/ positive reasons whereas 'investigate' we have to draw conclusions <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #ffda00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">4. 'Critically' is at the bottom of the list because it requires more than one thing.

<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #28e63b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Challenge #7 <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #28e63b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">1. Plan for Thursday - Periods 3 - 6. Consider what still needs to be done to finalise your presentations. - Music? Voice over? Credits? Quotes? Bibliography? Shooting? Transitions? Editing? Who will do what, when, and what equipment is needed? <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #28e63b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">2. Blog/journal entry on team page : Blog done with the diary entries by each member.

<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #28e63b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Thursday's Plan: <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #28e63b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Period 3: Organise all the research we have come up with by each member all together and see what fits in with the movie that we just have started today. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #28e63b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Period 4: Allocate roles for each team member like what we have previously being doing. Lojane is in charge of the research skills of the project e.g. bibliography and credits which can be included at the end. Jodie is responsible for editing the images and text that would be included in the movie and also the music that we would be doing and Stephanie will be responsible for the making of the movie slides and the transitions <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #28e63b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Period 5: Continue working on the movie and by now we should have everything organised and clear. The equipment we may need to use at some stage will by a mobile phone which includes various music sounds and images that might be useful, a laptop so we can make the i-movie in an easier way and a computer which is faster to use so we can upload things quicker. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #28e63b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Period 6: Come up to an ending of the movie so we can by ready by Friday and present.

=<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #8138d6; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Challenge #8 = <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #8138d6; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Name: A Guide for Time Management <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #8138d6; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Evaluation:This site is useful because it gives us tips and hints on a specific problem that may occur sometime during a teenager's high school journey. It can assist us with managing our time which is a success because its a solution to gaining special interest in studying.

<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #9300ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Name: Planning <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #9300ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Evaluation: This site may be useful for students because of the amount of information it provides that is all about managing time, goal settings, strategies and motivation. It can assist us with the aspect of learning how to control our planning and keeping motivated which are both examples of success.

<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #9300ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Name: Working Out Priorities <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #9300ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Evaluation: This website is actually helpful because it attracts awareness on being a successful person. Its very short and simple not like most of the websites we had a look at which is pretty much useful. It can assist the person's learning because it demonstrates easy solution to the key to success.

<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Research Tutorial: <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Make the search specific and try to imagine what the web page would look like when you add the words to the search engine. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">To get the search that you want add "......................" <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">There might be words with multiple meanings such as "mullet" which refers to the hair cut and also the type of fish to narrow it down to the mullet only put it down to: "mullet -hair". <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">A search in google would be easier to use if we use "Wonder wheel" or "Timeline" because the wonder-wheel narrows down the research each time we click what we want on the page. "Timeline" is a great way to search because it gives us a timeline on the possible area that were looking at e.g. successful women would give us a variety of dates that we can choose from. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">"Boolify" is another way of researching specific information to help narrow down the results.

<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">We have to reference each source that we have used to complete this project e.g. music, images and research. Use programs such as EasyBib to acknowledge the credits that would be included at the end of the movie. <span style="background-color: #808080; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Also, have a look at the Study Skills which is very useful because it gives us sites we can visit.

<span style="background-color: #808080; color: #9300ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">ACKNOWLEDGING SOURCES: Cloze-Passage
