Good Morning Year 8

We have lots to do today - so let's get going;-)

Finally I finished your Unit of Work and it is now online. You can find it in 2 places.

• On the Year 8 IT blog the link for the UNIT OF WORK is located in the sidebar (it's the first link).
• It is also located in the Year 8 Folder on the School's Server

We need to start our Documentation Folder so:

1) Open a new document in Word 2oo7. Click on the "Insert" tab. On the left you select "Cover Page". This is a new feature of Word 2007. You can select a Cover Page Template and produce a professional looking document. Do that now. Select a cover page and include your name, and the "Year 8 Unit of Work - PhotoStory 3".

2). Type INVESTIGATION at the top of a blank page. Answer the following questions:

a) What is digital storytelling? (Do research and find out what digital storytelling is. Include 2 different programs that could be used. Are either of these programs "open source" (that means FREE).
b) What is "image hosting"? Where can one store (put) a finished PhotoStory online? (Name 2 sites) Why would someone want to do that? Are any of these services "open source" (free)?
c) What is storyboarding? Give details. When is it appropriate (in other words - When would someone produce a storyboard and why?)?

3). When you finish this you may continue with your project.

Thanks Year 8!
