My First And Second Day As A Student At Fothvalley.

11.15-12.15 Tutorial.


There was a time split with learning the terms and conditions of the college with filling in forms clarifying that we agree to them i found this really interesting and informing of information which i may need in the future.


My next class was at:

14.00-16.00 Web content

This was our first class as students at forth valley college (Falkirk campus)

i found it really fun (except the technical failure!)





My second day of college:

Started at: 9.00am- 11.00am We started today with a Media Analysis class where we were asked to interview a fellow student which led us into our next class: Communication where we wrote up the beginning to our biography's (11.00am-13.00pm) This was a really enjoyable morning as not only did we learn things we got the opportunity to have a laugh.

We then got our lunch break and started our Digital Media Class, which was really great today i feel i have learnt a lot and stretched my knowledge of what i already know about computing out.

(14.00-16.00 Digital media.)

27th Aug 2010.

Today.

It was our introduction class into Media Productions{ John Mcall}, we learnt about Garage Band and Podcasts.
 Sadly i did not get to start mine as (knowing my luck so far with computors...) i picked the broken one ! Wooo.
 However i am working on my music choice and picture choice currently - giving both serious thought.

College is exactly how i imagened it to be, amazing. [ However i am glad it is the weekend! SLEEP.]

Looking Forward Too : Monday's classes and what they will bring :] xx

Digital Media Class 24/08/2010

This was our introductory class on this subject, however I have been in this room a few times before firstly for my enrolment secondly for a class on 'Web Content'.


The first thing we did in our class today was upload the photos we took yesterday to our blogger accounts (We took these photos in our Web content class using 'Photobooth'). 'Photobooth' is a application on Apple Mac computers which allows you to take a picture instantly and upload it to multiple places, it is a form of webcam.

Then we learnt how to change the background of our blogs (In the 'Design' tab), I found this particularly interesting because I like doing collage work and found some of the backgrounds on here to be not unlike cut-outs.



We were then taught how to re-name our folders which we also created yesterday in web content, we then continued to take some silly photos for putting into'Iphoto' (An application found on Apple Mac computers)



We were also taught how to catch media files off of the Internet and carry them to the monitor screen using a grab technique (which you perform by holding the 'Apple' button down alongside 'Shift' and '4' this creates a small target shaped icon and you drag the cursor over the picture and if you have the volume turned up will make a small noise and the picture will be on the right hand side of the screen when you minimize your pages which you currently have up).


We Started learning about 'Iweb' and 'Epk's' but these lessons will be continued next week.


I really enjoyed this class, a lot to think about, and look forward to future lessons
