Today, we discuss some issues. Legal Issues: copyright, fair use, piracy, free speech, acceptable use. They are very useful for me. I am a Chinese, I live in China, because of this background, our cultural different with Philippines. In China, we share software by each other, we download movies and songs from internet. They all are free, you just click download, and you can get everything. You do not need to go to cinema, you can watch any movies at home. But now, I learn different view in this class. We need to protect and respect authors’ results. As a teacher, we should teach student how to be critical thinking, not just ask them do, we should teach them learn how to think.

This morning, I get a lot of knowledge about internet. Nowadays, the internet becomes more and more important in our life. We all know that we can do lots of things by surfing the Internet. For example, some students often surf the Internet to find something good for their study, by surfing the Internet, they can learn a lot and make a great progress. When we are free, we often chat with our friends or family members. In the past, if we live very far from our friends or family members we can only write letters to each other, but now Internet can solve this problem, we can even talk or see each other on computers. Also, we can play games on weekends, they can help us relax. Of course we can also do many other things on computers. In one word, Internet is really important in our life now. So I am appreciate I could learn how to make website, it is very useful and helpful. Now, I am doing our group’s website, I also find we can get a lot of skills from internet.
Hello, classmates! Today, I want to share my experience for making PPT.
Guys~ you saw the first slide of my PPT , there are some movement circles. Now I teach how to make those.
- Use shape tools, make some circles on the page, and you should arrange the position of circles. Let those circles stay different position.
- Use custom animation. Choose Entrance-Faded Swivel
- Modify: Start-with Previous (only first one, next choose-After Previous) Speed: Fast.
- Then you just think which circle is going to show first, and which one is next to show. You should arrange sequences.
Tips: you can modify speed and time depend on the situation.

This morning, Grace’s worship was very wonderful. She told a story about her family. Through this story, we knew God’s love. When we met problems or difficulties, God always besides us, He always blesses us everywhere. Whose love could compare with our Gods’?
I learned a lot of knowledge from class. Everything looked new things for me. I was very exciting for studying. I felt this class was greatly important for me. I loved and enjoyed it. This was my first time for touching website language. Before I just knew how to design pages, but now I knew how to make website language. It was very useful. From now on, I can make a complete website. Let me try later!

How to make Burning Skull–PS 1
Step 1
For this tutorial, I used Photoshop CS3, a skull from Designious.com (you could choose to use a free skull though, such as Skull Vector Pack 1) and some hi-res flames images. The high-res image files are available to Psd Plus members in the download pack. Though non-members are certainly welcome to shoot your own flame photos or find some stock to use here, so you can follow along.
To get things started, create a new document 210mm by 290mm with a 100% black background.
Step 2
Copy (Command + C) and paste (Command + V) the vector from Illustrator to Photoshop as pixels.
Step 3
On a new layer create an ellipse filled with dark red (#4c0400) that surrounds the skull. Next, apply a Gaussian Blur of 250px (maximum value), and place that layer under the skull.
Step 4
Let’s prepare the skull for the flames. Select the white color from the skull. (Select > Color Range) and fill it with an orange-yellow color(#f9ae31), except the teeth and mandible that will be filled with light red (#e82b19).
Step 5
Select the red area using Select > Color Range and then contract using Select > Contract > with 4 px, then and Delete.
Step 6
Select the yellow color. Next use a Brush with Toll on 250-300 px, Hardness of 0, Opacity at 10-15%, red for the color (d02207), and gradually color from the interior towards the exterior, until you get a skull with a bit of glow.

Adobe Premiere
Today, I want to introduce software about edit movie. When I study in college, teacher suggests this software-Adobe Premiere. After I used it, I think it is easy for controlling. Because it is professional video editing software, it has some limits, such as file type. It fits avi, mpg2, mpg4, mov, not every type. Adobe Premiere Pro is a professional, real-time, timeline based video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Suite, a suite of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications made by Adobe Systems, though it can also be purchased separately. Even when purchased separately, it comes bundled with Adobe Encore and Adobe OnLocation. Premiere Pro supports many video editing cards and plug-ins for accelerated processing, additional file format support, and video/audio effects. Premiere Pro CS4 is the first version to be optimized for 64-bit operating systems, although it is not natively 64-bit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Premiere_Pro

This is a good chance for training group cooperative. I like discuss by group. It can train how to listen your classmates’ idea, how to fits other person’s idea with yours. Although I have some experiences for making video, but I did not have chance to make an educational video. I think this is a challenge for me. And I love to share my thoughts to group mates. We work together, and enjoy our work. It is a wonderful experience, and greatly interesting. I find fun in this class.
