Blogger has been very fun to use. Even though I have used it before (in grade 6, for my class), I have learnt a lot of new things. Yes it was fun, I don't think that I will use blogger again, for school that is but if I were at home blogging about something like... I don't know, games which is the most likely thing, I would enjoy doing that, not for school, not that I didn't enjoy it at school, cause I did but if I were at home I would do what I enjoy.
I might actually start blogging about games anyway because I do like games, so I would like to do what I enjoy.

Subject Evaluation
This subject, was actually quite good. I was happy with coming in to this class and I was glad we used photoshop because I had previously used photoshop and enjoyed it. The stuff we have done on photo shop have been fun to do, sometimes confusing but in the end interesting.
When we started working with Prezi I was interested but also disappointed because I really liked photoshop, Prezi was good I just prefer working with photoshop. Then we started work on Google Docs, it was not to great. Very limited options in editing but the over the internet working was good, when the people in the group remembered to do the things they did, so overall I think PowerPoint is still better in the long run.
I have talked about my major project already so I am not going into that again, but overall this class was good, I enjoyed most times and was disappointed in others. It taught me new things with photoshop and other computer accessories if you will, and I enjoyed it. And I had a good teacher so that is a good thing.
That is my overall summary of my I.T class in Semester 1 2011.

Major Project Evaluation
For the Major Project, I called my theme park Awesometown. I struggled for a long time to come up with the name for my theme park also making me struggle with the project, but then I remembered The Lonely Islands song Awesometown. This project was sometimes hard, sometimes easy, sometimes boring, but I always ended up doing what I needed.
Finding the right prices to compete with other theme parks was quite easy, but figuring out the names for my rides was really hard untill I figured out my theme parks name AWESOMETOWN!!! Awesome yes?
My website was annoying to make, because at first I was using Google Sites and it was really confusing and hard, but then I was told to use DevHub which was really really good for make a good website quick and easy. It has most or all of my info and costs on the site.
The Prezi was quite simple to do after I came up with names for everything and it had most of my information on there.
I think that is all I can talk about, I enjoyed some of my time on the project.

My reflection
The past few weeks I have been using Prezi and Google Docs.
Prezi is a presentation program like Power Point but harder to use. It was used for an individual presintation, where people talked about a website they like. I talked about Sketch Fu. At first I found Prezi a bit confusing to use but after a while I got use to it and it was easy. To improve my presentation I could have put a video on it and added more slides, but I think I did fairly well. I enjoyed Prezi cause it is fun and a new and interesting way to present things. I would probably use it again.
Google Docs is very similar to Power Point in fact it is pretty much the same thing in the presenting point of things, but they added something. It is used over the internet so when you are in a group you can work together at the same time when you are at different places. Yet, if you don't have contact details to get to them you can't call them if they have forgot to fix stuff up with your presentation. It is very useful, but I don't think I will use it again unless I am asked to.

Image types
JPEG- Joint Photographic Experts Group
GIF- Graphics Interchange Format
PNG- Portable Network Graphics
BITMAP- Does not have abbreviation
PSD- Photo Shop Data file
These different image file formats are mainly used for specific things like 3D imaging or just a 2D image just from a digital camera.
JPEG is most commonly and best used on the web and it is used for printing things.
GIF is fr short films used on the web and sometimes in games.
PNG is used for web pages
BITMAP is a type of memory organisation or image file format used to store digital images
PSD is used for Photo Shop and works with all image file formats (apparently)

Multimedia
I think multimedia is different forms of electronicly published things. (sort of, I am not really sure)
Now I shall search.
Multimedia is a combination of content forms. They are usually played by electonic devices such as computers, gaming consoles, CD players and more.
Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and and interactivity content forms.
Could not get images for some reason >:(

About me, Stuart.
Hey, my name is Stuart Mcilwain. I am a gamer, PS3 is better then Xbox 360.
So the thing I like doing most is sitting at home playing games.
My favorite sport is probably tennis, but I quit playing because I need to get up at 7 am every morning. Also an intrest is games which I have already said.
I don't have a pet, but I have had many birds and a couple of dogs. Now I want another dog. I have a mum and a dad, an annoying sister and an annoying brother. But they are alright sometimes.
My favorite colour is probably blue but colours don't really interest me.
I said before that I have a PS3. The games I play are, Uncharted 2 Among Thieves, Resistance 1, 2 (soon 3), Killzone 2 (soon 3), Assassins Creed (mostly Brotherhood) and lastly I play COD MW2 and Black Ops.
My favorite game is definately Uncarted 2 Among Thieves because it is just plain awesome!
And the last thing I want to say is I chose this subject because I thought I would like it and I still think I will because I have friends in this class plus I am interested in computer related things.
Thank you for reading this post (if you did, which you probably didn't unless your Mr Miller
