Some of my works!

Digital Literacy

For this unit we had to create a Visual Autobiography.
We used programs as IBM’s “many eyes” or Google Docs Draw, Wordle, Tagzedo or basic graphic design software like “Pages” for Mac.
For my poster I chose a world map as background and I used:

• 7 red dots to indicate the places where I have been before;
• 11 blue arrows to indicate the places where I want to go;
• a yellow star to indicate where I was born.

I added three pictures of me taken this year that represent the most important things that happened this year in Alaska.

Visual Autobiography

For the Lab Poster we had to choose a rule or something that somebody should remember of the Computer Lab. My partner and I used a black background with an hamburger and a drink that represent food and drinks in general, in fact you should not eat in the Computer Lab. We also used the red for the sentences because red is easy to notice on the black background.

Reflection
Knowing how to crate a blog is very useful. I liked a lot creating it even if at first you need to understand how WordPress works but with the teacher’s help you start to understand it and then it becomes really easy to use. It is something that you can use for all your life
