3. I used What is Love, with some edits. I used it because it came out around the time I was born and I really like the song. I think it was a good addition.

5. Noodle Tools, Garageband, iMovie, iPhoto, PowerPoint


6. The garageband part went easily well.


7. iMovie was pretty tough with taking KenBurns and making it my own.

10. I used it in on of my lit projects. 


11. I didn't use the same picture. I usually made small color adjustments for a better icture.

Post on November 15th

1. I liked the My Life project. I liked that we were able to show everything about our life and even show our own pictures. I like being able to do what I wanted to do.

2. I didn't like the Music Genome Project. For some specific topics there wasn't enough information and it was a little tough to be able to figure out.


3. I didn't like that we couldn't use the iWork, like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, we didn't use that many working apps. We used too much of iMovie. I wanted to do more Word, Excel, and things like that, instead of iMovie.
