Our Final Task

Leng Jing and  I have finish our final project.

Our Task: http://iln.cite.hku.hk/com/1374/users/hykrazack/6323final.swf

The source file: http://iln.cite.hku.hk/com/1374/users/hykrazack/6323final-source.fla

Somethings about our project:

Jing and I want to create a  page for young children  in education aspect, we hope that children will gain  knowledge after viewing the page that we designed. Base on this concept, we have design a page that introduce different inventions to the children. In our project children can learn inventions from 4 centuries (17,18,19,20), by clicking the photos, an invention information box will appear. I think this project can use by teachers during their teaching.

During the data collecting, we have found the information both from books and websites. At first we want to use the picture and sounds obtain from the internet, due to the copyright issued, we finally decided to use pictures and sound that were taken and recorded by ourselves.

After we collect all the information, the first software we use is PowerPoint. We use PowerPoint to combine and categories pictures according to their century and than saved them into jpeg format. Then we use flash 8 to continue for main part of our project, since both of our knowledge of flash is 0 before this module. We consider making the project simple and clear. All the techniques we use in our project are learnt by Dr.Churchill during the lesson, this project can also be the reflection of what we have learnt during this module.

In this project, my duties were collecting the photos, sounds and information for two centuries, combine the photos by using the powerpoint and making the effect of information box appear after clicking by using flash.

Happy Easter!

 Happy Easter Hi, everybody! Long time no see, what have you do in Easter? Have you eat many Egg 2? In this long holiday, I have arranged the photo in my hard disk and  make my photo story!

http://razack.sinagirl.com/karuizawatrip.wmv

Although this is my first time to create a digital story, I have the experience of sharing photos online. I usually share my photos by using online photo album, so  at the beginning, I decided to use online photo album to finish the task . Later, I have change my idea when i have look at the material provide by Dr Churchill  http://www.learnactivity.com/ds/.  I have use the free software that is provided from Microsoft call Photo Story 3 to complete my task. This software are more flexible, for example I can decide how many seconds the photo are display .

Online Album's website:

1. Picture Trial : http://www.picturetrail.com - This is my favourite online photo album , user can put many albums under one home page, each album can set as view by public or private. My album in Picture Trial: http://www.picturetrail.com/razack

2. Rockyou: http://www.rockyou.com/ -  This album provides many  visual effects. This is one of my photo slideshow: http://www.rockyou.com/show_my_gallery.php?instanceid=49894215
