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
