First Photos -- Best and Worst

Today's assignments is pretty simple: It's time to look at your pictures. First, you are going to go find the ones you took and put them in your server folder. Then you will post on your brand new student blog.

Step 1 -- Connect to Server

• Minimize all the screens you have open.
• Click on the icon with the black camera called "Journalism Drive" that is on your desktop. The computer will start connecting to the server.
• When the window pops up, where it says "Username", type photoj
• For the password, type password
• When a pop-up box appears, click the one called "PhotoJ"
• Eventually the drive will mount and an icon will appear on your desktop.
• Find your class period, i.e. 1st period, 3rd period, etc.
• In that folder, you will find a bunch of folders. Find the one with your name on it. If there is a mistake or a misspelling, let me know and I will fix it.

Step 2 -- Find Your Photos

There you will see a folder titled "*FIRST DAY PHOTOS"

Open that folder - inside you will see a bunch of photos. It's best to look at them in slideshow fashion.

Find ONE that you really (and I mean really) like that you took - right click on that one and scroll down to "COPY" -

Then go to your period and find YOUR folder - Right click and "SAVE" that photo in your folder.

Go back to the "First Shoot" folder, do the same thing, but this time pick one you really don't think is that great that you took.

Step 3 -- Post your Best and Worst photos to your blog.

Then open your web browser and get to blogger - I hope you remember how!!! But if you don't ask a friend or me to help you.

Then connect to blogger and log into your account.

Create a new post in your blog.

I would like you to post both photos on your blog with 1 paragraph (a paragraph in my class is AT LEAST 3 sentences) telling me why you liked or disliked the photo. What things about the photo made it a good or bad photo. Why did you pick that one? What things did you do that made it a good or bad photo?

Once everyone is done with this assignment, I will be posting an additional blog for you to start today. Also, I will be asking you to start doing some things at home. This will mostly be watching a video and answering some questions. I promise to make it short, but it is something we are being required to do by the administration. It won't kill your grade, I promise, but it will be factored into your grades. I will explain more next class.
