Good morning guys, hope your having a great morning! I'm sorry that I'm not there with you today. Luckily for you though, this means that you have a full period to work without me interrupting you with a lesson. :) Today you can finish up your bar code, vector your graphic, type up your song list... whatever you need to do to move forward with your CD project. If you happen to get to the point that you can't do anything more with that today, you can work on your notebook. Organize similar to this checklist, make divider pages of the underlined topics, get it ready for the end of the class. I have left an example notebook for you to take a look at in case you start to work on it. Hope you have a great day!

Good morning! I'm sorry that I'm that I'm not in class with you today. While I won't be there to help you, I also won't be there giving you notes! Silver lining right :) Anyway, today, if you have vectored your image and laid out your card, you can start to create the image for the card. You should be getting a handout that describes the process. You can find a digital version as well as videos to help here. You will need two of your Christmas photos to make it happen though. As always, take you time and follow the steps closely! I believe there is a video too if that is more helpful. Once it's done, you can add the new design to the InDesign file. Good luck and have a great day!

Hello gamers, happy Wednesday. Hope it's been a good one so far. Today, since I'm not there to do kahoot or give notes, you have the full day to work on your sprites and Pacman clone. If you have a problem, since I'm not there, ask one of your classmates. Isaac has already accomplished a lot on his game, Ben is kicking but with vectors and both Bushy, Michael A. and Reagan seem to be professional animators! Maybe they would be willing to take a look at your issue. Good luck and have a great day!
