Slide 1: Leap Year Doodle

Here are the 3 things you need on your Title Slide

A title: 5.05 Week9 Portfolio using Fonts links: Wordart Collection / Gzaas / Flaming text
Today’s Google Doodle gif which should be moving on your slide (just drag it onto your slide from a new Chrome tab)

Here’s my example (can you color match the title to the Doodle?)

Slide 2: Google Doodles Archive

Explore the archive by searching for things like ‘animated’, ‘games’ or ‘interactive’. Find your own, but here are some fun game examples to try:

Pony Express: http://www.google.com/doodles/155th-anniversary-of-the-pony-express
Basketball: http://www.google.com/doodles/basketball-2012
Hurdles: http://www.google.com/doodles/hurdles-2012
Pacman: http://www.google.com/doodles/30th-anniversary-of-pac-man

Here’s what you need on your slide

Skitch the archive search bar with your search term in it
Add at least 4 of your favorite Doodles with each one linked to where you can find it again

Here’s my example:

Today we have these learning goals (all objectives to date)

Practice your vocabulary skills in a scrabble-like game called Word Wanderer
Explore a fun site called Neave and use PRINT SCRN to capture some ‘mid-air’ examples
Practice your capture and arranging skills on a Google Slide

Explore using Prezi to create basic photo collages from the BMS & BHS websites

Slide 4: Neave Interactives

Neave Site1: https://bouncyballs.org/
Experiment with each of the 4 options at this site and use the Print Screen key to capture each while they’re bouncing around. Try to fill your slide exactly with ¼ from each of these 4 Modes:

Challenge: Try to do this in a way that all of the spheres stay round and aren’t stretched into ovals (you’ll probably need to use the crop tool to do this correctly!)

Add the word Neave with a font from our Wordart Collection with a transparent fill color in the center
Here’s my example with each quarter of the slide filled with a different version of Neave and none of the images are stretched in any direction. You can also see through the title in the center:

Slide 5: Prezi Photo Collage

Watch the video to see how to create an example like this (use Print Screen to capture your Prezi in present mode without the lines)

Daily Warmup Activity:

Last year this week we had an icy weather day… hard to believe, isn’t it?

Here are the links and directions for today’s warmup

Google Classroom: https://classroom.google.com/h
Link the symbol below to the Word Search Creator: http://worksheets.theteacherscorner.net/make-your-own/word-search/
Click here for a larger view to Skitch. There are no backwards words, but a few of them are diagonals. Help each other to find all of the words in the puzzle!

Here’s my example warmup

Today we have these learning goals (all objectives to date)

Explore some new Neave Interactives
Practice recording gifs with Screencast-o-matic

Explore and collect images from Colleges, Universities, Trade Schools and Professions-of-interest
Continue designing your roadmap to the future in Prezi by collecting and arranging your images

Slide 6: Neave gifs

Use Screencast-o-matic to record 10 seconds or less of 4 different Neave interactives and arrange each to fill ¼ of your slide (like you did yesterday, but these should be moving)

Neave site: http://neave.com/
For new students: if you haven’t already installed screencast-o-matic, here’s a link to do so: SOM v1.4 download
Use the Small HD setting to record 4 different interactives (like the image below) and only record 10 seconds or less!

Add the word Neave with a font from our Wordart Collection with a transparent fill color in the center
Here’s my example (recorded as a gif so you can see how yours should be moving)

Slide 7: Prezi path continued

Add at least 2 new photo collages (5-10 images in each) of any of these 3 things to the Prezi you started yesterday:

2 or more Colleges or Universities you might like to attend
2 or more Vocational training schools you might like to attend
If you want to enter the workforce right after High School, make collages of 2 different types of work you might like to do

Prezi: https://prezi.com/dashboard/
You can get your images from any of these locations and Skitch them directly onto your Prezi

Google web searches and images searches
Campus websites (search Google)
Google streetviews of the campuses

Here’s the video help link again from yesterday which shows how to create a blank Prezi and add images and arrows
