Proficiency 2
I choose power Point because it is an neat and easy way to present information and pictures. I didn’t have many problems with doing my project on here; however it was very hard to upload onto blogger from slide share because slide share would not down load things or freeze up. Learning about all the different constellations was very interesting; it was fun to learn about all of the different myths and stories told through them. Overall I thought this proficiency went well.
Proficieny 3
I can identify key technological advancements that helped in making our knowledge of space expand. My research will show the past, but I will also predict what future advancements may stretch our limits even more.
I choose Photo Story 3 for this proficieny because it allowed me to use as much text as I want and not limit me like animoto would. I had some problems getting this on my bolg though, and also sometimes you couldnt see my text well with the pictures I chose. Overall, this proficiency went okay.
