Client: Macbook computer users who would like to know how to change their icons
 * Current project:** email tutorial


 * Actions today:**
 * Worked on video tutorial:
 * video tutorial became about teaching something different than original idea, became about teaching Macbook users how to change background (more specifically how to find out the screen resolution/wallpaper size)
 * created headers to separate different sections/steps of tutorial - found images from Internet and took screenshots, edited and created headers using Microsoft PowerPoint
 * edited and arranged video clips, cut unnecessary clips
 * added more subtitles and transitions
 * text input problem in iMovie - met with Mrs Lindsay for help, suggested solutions: create clip explanations & talk over it

New Client & Project
I have decided to find another project, on account of the fact that making a video would be redundant, since Mr. Johnson can already explain everything very well.

New Project Ideas: -an electronic planner for my mom & a tutorial on how to use it - materials: Microsoft Excel, iMovie, and Quicktime Player con: more comfortable with a written planner -a tutorial on how to check email -con: can just change website language for her to read -a tutorial on how to manage bookmarks on Delicious -con: Why mess with something that already works? - Bookmarks

June 3rd, 2011 - Setting up interview with Mr. Johnson
Today, I explained the project and asked Mr. Johnson if he would like to be my client, how I could help him with CAS. Mr. Johnson said that it was a bit late to start, since school was almost over. People just needed to update their CAS hours and reflections on the wiki. However, Mr. Johnson recommended that I could create something that could be used next year, explaining how to use the wikispace for the soon to be 11th graders. I was thinking of creating a video, to explain how to use the wikispace, using Quicktime player's screen recording option. We set the interview for next week.
