I’m not sure why but why but when I add the photos in they were way bigger than what fits and then when I published the site it showed up like the picture above.

That is why I added all the photos into this document. Also I figured out that I cannot add in the files I did with Giotto unless I pay for the premium version of

the site. I also could not add them into this word document so I put the files in the drop box where they will play through Windows Media Player.

Create your name in text with an effect or filter. This was not hard to do it was cool to look at the different things I could do with my name. I used GIMP 2.0 for this picture.

Add text of your future career and make the text rotate and flip. I might go to college for Video Game Design I have thought about it before and it is a possibility. I used GIMP 2.0.

Animate your favorite sports team name with added effect not used already. With this I did Ohio State because that is where I was born and they are my favorite team. I did a color fade on this activity using GIMP 2.0.

Use a fade effect on your favorite quote. This is one of my favorite quotes so I did a fade on it using GIMP 2.0. I think this is a very true quote.

Animate your name one letter at a time. With this activity I was able to edit each letter of my name at a time waving it the way I wanted. This was fun to do using GIMP 2.0.

Create "Georgia Virtual School" in text with a different effect. This was easy to do I added a border first and then added in a color effect into the words. For this activity I used GIMP 2.0 to get it done.

Create Motion Tween: This was not too hard to do I actually enjoyed making this and messing around with the different effects. I used the program you recommended for this Giotto and I tried to add it to my site but I’m not sure if it worked so I added the file in the drop box.

Create Shape Tween: This was also fun to make not very hard once I figured out how to use the program. I also used Giotto for this and had the same issue so the file is in the drop box.

Create a button to use on a website: The home button was not hard to make on the website it

only took a few minutes. All I had to was add a link to GAVS homepage into the button and put a

title on the button.

Create an animation that reveals two different animations happening at the same time: This activity was added into the drop box named as “2 Animations at once.” It was not hard to do like I said before once I got to know how the program worked it was fun and easy to do.
