Adobe After Effects

This is one software what can make effects in our videos. Adobe After Effects is a digital motion graphics and compositing software published by Adobe Systems. Its main purpose is for film and video post-production.
Adobe After Effects is primarily used for creating motion graphics and visual effects. After Effects allows users to animate, alter, and composite media in 2D and 3D space with various built-in tools and third party plug-ins, as well as individual attention to variables like parallax and user-adjustable angle of observation.

Both After Effects and some non-linear editing systems (NLEs) are layer-oriented, meaning that each individual media object (video clip, audio clip, still image, etc.) occupies its own track. In contrast, other NLEs use a system where individual media objects can occupy the same track as long as they do not overlap in time. This track-oriented system is more suited for editing and can keep project files much more concise. The layer-oriented system that After Effects adopts is suited for extensive effects work and keyframing. Although other compositing packages—especially ones that employ tree or node workflows, such as Apple Shake—are better suited to manage large volumes of objects within a composite, After Effects is able to somewhat counter the clutter by selectively hiding layers (using the Shy switch) or by grouping them into pre-compositions.

Corel Draw–The Power of Vector Graphics

I have introduced Photoshop what good for design. But now I want to introduce another design software-corel draw. It is also better for design. Actually, It is better for drawing some shapes, or elabroate design works, such as some shapes. When we are going to design some elabroate picture, we draw in lines or shapes in corel draw first, and then transform to photoshop to draw color something, and complete the design work, do some effects in this work, let it look like better.
Corel DRAW, The Power of Vector Graphics

When it is clicked we see the beautiful face of Hady Lamar, and the same beauty remains throughout the package. Corel DRAW actually comes up with the bundle of many packages like Corel Photo paint; Corel Movie etc. but the main flagship is Corel DRAW, the favorite package of graphic designers.

Using the technology in today’s classroom

Do you know what is good learning?
“What fun, deeply-engaging learning experience can we do today?”engaging
with new technologies that provide them with the same opportunities. Every day, many students are
spending countless hours immersed in popular technologies—such as Facebook or MySpace, World of Warcraft,
or Sim City—which at first glance may seem like a waste of time, and brain cells. But these genres of technologies—
Social Networking, Digital Gaming, and Simulations—deserve a second, deeper, look at what’s actually going
on.

When I read this article, I was interested in those things. They gave some chances to students who meet interest technology in classroom. It is a good starting, using some new technology to attract students’ attention. Some digital games and stimulus to bring studnets’ interest. But I also want to say we should control measure of those technology, let them use their function of education, let our students not only get fun but also learn knowledge.
