I just wanted to remind you all to download the LAME encoder so you can export your audio file from Audacity onto Blackboard as an MP3. Only save it as an MP3 when you are done editing, as it will compress all your files into one. This file form is better supported by the Blackboard interface.
Remember to save your final file as an MP3 through Audacity and load the MP3 onto Blackboard by Wednesday if you want feedback.
Let me know if you have any questions. We will do a photo review for the Three Photos assignment and we'll be reviewing Sound Slides in class tomorrow. Get an idea of the audio slideshow assignment.

Week 4: Lab 2, learning to edit sound
Today in class we will be working with Audacity. I finally figured out why my computer could not project sound and fixed it so we should have a pretty productive class.
Remember to bring what you recorded at the end of class so we can walk through the process step by step of downloading sound and uploading it onto your computer. Bring your laptop too. See you in class. Here is a brief review video of how to use the Zoom Audio Recorder. Rather than selecting an MP3 you will need to select WAV.
You might also want to take a look at the audio assignment before class to get any direction you might need for the assignment.

Week 4: Lab 1
I see that you are all beginning to turn in your Seeing Red assignments. Do not forget to turn them in before 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Also we are going to begin our audio unit tomorrow. Make sure you go down and check out an audio kit before class so we can use them for a few exercises/training. You will also have a Twitter Current Event's quiz tomorrow.
Review the Audio Assignment, and the Audacity basics tutorial before class so we can hit the ground running. We'll be going over this in class. We'll talk about audio editing in class Thursday as well.

Week 3: Lab 2, follow-up
I sent out an email to you all and forgot to post it to the blog as well. So, here's some things from the email I sent out before class yesterday, and some things I spoke about in class concerning your Seeing Red Assignment...
1) The problem with Lynda.com not listing the Photoshop tutorial has been resolved. You should now be able to take the tutorial. The tutorial is long, but you can look at the individual chapters to figure out how to tone, quick edit and crop your photos. There is also a great tutorial for resizing. I went over all three of these along with the videos in class yesterday.
2) You will have until Monday to submit your Seeing Red photos for a second time. That should give you all weekend to tone, crop and take the tutorial. When you submit your photos it will be an additional attempt on Blackboard. I will take your last attempt as the assignment I will grade. Make sure that you include your edited photo captions (in AP Style) in a word document with your first and last name at the top of the left top of the document and label the captions with the corresponding photo document name, and then name the Word document with your last name and captions, for example: Perreaultcaptions.doc.
Also rename the photos as your last name and then 1, 2, 3. So if I was submitting pictures my files would be Perreault1.jpg, Perreault2.jpg, and Perreault3.jpg. NEF files should be converted into jpg files and the files should be the sizes specified in the Seeing Red assignment.
3) Some people wanted to know if they have to buy Photoshop Elements 9 if they have another version of Photoshop that they know how to use. No. But you still have to do the Lynda.com tutorial and take the quiz. Complete the Photoshop Elements Quiz by 11:59pm on February 10. (Required chapters: 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7)
4) You must re-submit your Seeing Red photos in the format I asked for before class Monday. For each day it is late I will take a point off of the total assignment score.
We are starting the Audio Assignment next week!
Also remember to download Audacity and view the online guide to learn how to use it. Check out the audio recorder before you come to class Monday. Also check out the audio assignment information.
Remember you must also have taken the WordPress quiz in Blackboard before Friday, February 3, 2012 at 11:59 p.m.
