I'm the photoshop master!

Okay, maybe not the master, because there are a bajillion things to do on photoshop... but today in BWPD, we learned how to do a few things on Adobe Photoshop CS5!

We learned how to feather:

We learned how to make a picture look like words:

And the last thing we learned was how to put a picture into a shape:



I think doing photoshopt is pretty cool!

Flamingtext.com

Last time in class (the same day that if forgot to post....) we learned how to do this:

And this:

Pretty spiffy, eh? You can go to flamingtext.com and create one of those things! It's free!

Best Post Ever

haha just kidding! You thought you would be reading something interesting! HA! ....so I was supposed to a post last time in class... But I forgot... so thats what this is for. We are still building web pages. And thats okay. And thats basically it!

Did you know...

that Andrew Jackson, the 7th president, was the first president to be born in a log cabin? 

Or that Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) served four terms in office: 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944? {Which led to an amendment which only lets presidents be elected for two terms? Or something like that...}

Well, neither did I! But now my brain has been enriched with random presidential facts because today in BWPD, we did a web quest about the presidents! I don't know when I will need to now that in 1891, Benjamin Harrison had electric lights installed in the White House... but that's okay. Maybe I'll end up on a game show and that will be the MILLION DOLLAR ANSWER! Yeah! {I can only hope}


P.S. James Buchanan never got married and Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to ride in a passenger car. {Just thought I would let you know :)}

There has been a rumor spreading around....

That its friday! woohoo! And the last time we were here in BWPD we made our very first {very, very simple} webpage! If you think only computer experts can make webpages then you are WRONG! Anybody can make a webpage, you only need to know a little bit.

{thats me jumping for joy at being able to create a website}

Blogging away

So here in BWPD we have been learning a lot of things lately. Netiquet (etiquette for emails), how to forward, reply, add someone to your contact list, what makes a professional email and... maybe a couple other things are escaping my brain at the moment.  It's pretty interesting, and I think in our world that focuses around technology it will be one of the most important skills we could be learning. so... that pretty nifty I guess!
