IT Project

As part of our final assemsment for IT this year, we were asked to create a video using Windows Live Movie Maker. The software is really easy to use and is automatically included in all windows PCs.
Muireann and I decided to make an 'MTV Cribs' styled video, except we filmed around our school and so, decided to call it 'TY-TV Schoolz'
Check out my video below!

Bumble Loops

For mini-company, we had to create a cereal and make an advert to promote the cereal we designed!
Eve, Muireann, Ciara and I decided to call our cereal 'Bumble Loops'. The cereal is chocolate and honey flavoured (a mixture of honey loops and wheetos).
Have a look at our advert below!

Percussion Workshop

On Tuesday, we all came into school excited to participate in our next TY workshop with Dave. We began our workshop by each choosing an African drum to play on, we played on drums called 'Djembe Drums'. We learned how to play lots of different rhythms on these drums.

Next we moved on to creating Poly-rhythm sounds, playing different rhythms on various instruments. I never knew there was so many different African instruments that are used daily, I like others, just assumed the Bongo was the main instrument used!

Near the  our workshop, we had a freestyle period! This was where we seperated into groups and created our own rhythms with the drums and other instruments.

Learning how to embed a video to my blog!

 During I.T class this week Mrs.L showed us how to embed a video from YouTube to our blog. It's so easy to do, hopefully now I will be able to post more videos to my blog!
How to embed:
1) Find video on YouTube
2) Click 'share' underneath the video and click embed.
3) Copy the embed code
4) Open a New Post in your blog and click 'HTML' in the left hand top corner and paste the embeding code there.
5) Click publish!

If you have followed the steps above you have now successfully embeded a video to your blog!
