=5.Coding!= >> Your browser, your OS(operating system), the apps on your phone, Facebook, and this website – they’re all made with code. Click Here for the full article about what coding is. "Programming skills are becoming ever more important, quickly turning into //the //core competency for all kinds of 21st Century workers. That inescapable fact is leading individuals to seek out new ways of learning to code, startups and non-profits to find ways to help them and businesses to search for innovative approaches to finding the coders they so desperately need." (Orsini)

I would use different layers for text, pictures, backgrounds. To import your avatar go to File - Import to Layer. When finished take a screen shot and save as 6_yourname_matter. Then import into a google doc and share with me. Lastly, post it in your Google Site (portfolio).

 * Animoto - My Digital Life Project **

Your first task is to brainstorm a list of photos or images you would like to use in your video to represent what your Digital simile is. After I approve the list, you may start creating. When searching or creating images, be sure to save them into your folder. You may even want to add a new folder inside of your folder called Digital Life. This will make all of your images easy to find when you are ready to upload to Animoto.

I have also created Animoto Accounts for each computer. Your log in email is bwastudent+(computer station number)@gmail.com. So if you sit at station 1, your login is: bwastudent+1@gmail.com. I will write the passwords on the board for you. =*** I can show you how to update your subscription!= Manage your account and then copy and paste this into the promo code: a4elynn6f5536 =10/24/13=
