=== Assignment Description: ===

=== The best part of this project is: === === ===

=== What I learned when making this project: === === I learned how to change the colors of the background, how to use different animations and how to use different types of slides. I also figured out how to make text boxes, which I used a lot throughout the Power Point. ===

One thing I would change in this project:
=== If I could come back and do this again, I think this time I would do less links if I could because I didn’t really have to many that I actually went to. I felt like putting down those different websites didn’t really show what I liked to do because I barely ever go on the internet. ===

After doing this project I know how to:
=== 6-8.CI.2. create an original project (e.g., presentation, web page, newsletter, information brochure) using a variety of ===

== Assignment Description: ==

We were assigned to make a poster with at least 5 facts on internet saftey. We created the posters on Paint.
== The best part of this project is: == === The best part of this project was being able to create our own design for our posters. Paint is a great program to use when experimenting with different ideas and still keeping it neat and clean. ===

== What I learned when making this project: == == I learned when making this project that you must be careful with how you use Paint because you might have to end up re-writing your entire text box if you click out of it. That was very difficult for me because all the other programs we have used haven't worked that way. It was very frustrating at times!!! ==

One thing I would change in this project:
== If i could change one thing about this project it would be to use more of the features Paint has to offer. I could have used different brushes and colors but most of all i wish i would have used images from the internet. ==

After doing this project I know how to upload Paint Projects to this page. This step always gets me, so every time I do it again it helps to refresh my memory.
