It has also been brought to my attention that some of you have had trouble with your iMovies. Mr. Jalbert is a good resource for your technological questions (although please try to avoid interrupting him during class time). Alternatively, you may choose to use one of the Macbook Pro laptops - in this event, you must make certain of a few things:
1. Copy your iMovie project onto a USB
2. Copy all of your photos/videos/music files, etc. used in the iMovie onto the USB as well - YOUR IMOVIE WON'T WORK IF THE FILES ARE MISSING
3. Make a note of which laptop you are working on, as your files will be saved on the hard drive, and NOT the server which we are used to on the computer lab Macs. In order to retrieve your project again, you will have to use the exact same laptop.
Anyway, back to printing PDFs. If you are done your commercials and they have been handed in with no technological woes (or as few as possible, hopefully), you can print PDFs of your yearbook pages to be edited by a peer. To print a PDF:
1. Sign in to the yearbook website
2. On the top menu, click "Book Creation," then "Plan," then "View Proofs."
3. In the text box, type the page number that you want to print (i.e. 24), or the page RANGE that you want to print (i.e. If you have a 2-page spread that you would like to print, enter the page numbers with a hyphen between, like 4-5)
4. Print, and give to a classmate to edit. Write your suggestions down on the PDF itself, circle things, cross things out, etc. Don't be afraid to mark it up with pen - it will be changing a bunch before the end of the year anyway and the PDF editing process is just that: a process. Pass it on to 3-4 people and see what kinds of suggestions you receive.
We will figure anything else out when I get back.
