7th Class

During the class, we heard our classmates present their idea for the project. Seems that everything goes alright.....(I meant out classmates). However, as Ivan is out of town, we've got problem in effective discussion on the Project. Hence....please give us some more time....the storyboard is coming soon!!

******About the task of creating movie******
The software of Photostory is quite user-friendly and it let me create a movie easily. Yet, I've got a problem in putting it on the BLOG...as I don't know how to write the HTML script for uploading the file. So, I've put it in a flash file and upload on the BLOG.

Can anyone help by telling me the script for putting the wmv file on the BLOG??? Thanks so much.... ^_^

To create a Movie!!

Third Class

Today, we're looking at the work (for task2) of our classmates. Many of the visual displays are very attractive and interesting.

When being asked to choose the best display, I had a query in my mind -- what's the function of the visual display? In case the design is for "promotion purpose" (like a poster to invite people to attend a seminar on the Earth's atmosphere), colorful graphics are preferred and long description of words may not be appropriate.

By the way, people have to use their own imagination to produce and understand a visual display. The learner may not make correct guess to each picture if text is missing. In case the design is for teaching, text description should not be omitted (but it's better in point form) for factual info which should have only one "right" answer.
