Week 11

Unfortunately, I was not at this weeks lecture, I hear it was about social media and ethics.
On friday we had the class test, it was a 25 question mcq which took 40mins to complete, I'm quite happy with my result.

Week 10

In week 10 we split into our project groups and one individual from each group stood infront of the class and gave a short two minute speech marketing the apps that we hope to have completely done next week.
Preparations have also begun for the upcoming quiz next week in the class.

Yes on Wednesday we were given a brief run through of Prezi by Shane and then on Friday it was our task to create a Prezi. It had actually been my second time doing a prezi so you get the pleasure of looking at both.

Week 6

Week 6 was learning about using screen casting features in order to record a demonstration of how we use our app. I downloaded screencast-o-matic and began to record some screenshots myself. Our group has started the story board for our video and we have already begun filming on our finished project.
