March

This month was the last of the project, which means I’m writing it as the project ends. But final deadline equals loads of work.

This month we:
-- Invitation: we did the invitation, which didn’t take
long, though I spent ages trying to think of a good design. Sir then gave me
feedback, saying that it aimed at the students instead of the staff, governors
and local VIPs, the rightful audience. I’d made a little informal -- oops! But
that was fixed quickly and I was all done.
-- E-Portfolio: I was
lucky enough not to have deleted last year’s e-portfolio (unlike some) which
saved me loads of time! I simply changed a few of the page layouts, adding rows
for print screens either side of the commentary and logos at the top. Ah, the
print screens . . . Once the commentary was done and dusted -- mostly for
homework, which was piling up -- I began the long task of print screening, using
Fireworks to get the right sizes. I came into school early to get it done and
stayed afterwards as well! But at least it got completed, right? I checked the
links and a few things, but it was fairly straightforward.
-- Project
Review: it was quite interesting looking back on the project and its good
and bad points, evaluating etc. It was almost like a reflection. I found out
things I hadn’t even realised yet. I spent most time out of lessons doing this,
writing extended bullet points and converting them into paragraphs. Didn’t take
too long . . .

One thing I haven’t yet mentioned is that this is my second run at Blogger. My original account was deleted which was awful, since I was mostly up to date. Other than that, I made a few changes to some things, like aligning boxes on my leaflet. I also updated my sources table and my final project plan.

So, this is it. The end of a project that has spanned a year, full of hard work and dedication . . . Too poetic for my tastes. This the end. It’s been great. Bye ICT. Miss you.
