1. How will you organise your multimedia sales pitch? List ideas, think about how the entry document was presented.
We are likely to use imovie for our multimedia sales pitch, we believe that it will help us, one, because it is relatively easy to use, and two, it is new technology and it will make our presentation look good… if it is done properly. The entry document i believe was presented using the latest technology, possibly imovie, this is why we are using it for our project.

Our project outline gave us a brief overview of what we had install ahead of us. We went through the rubric and i found, once again, that i am going to dislike this project, but i guess i can’t help it, I just dont like science. The 2nd project, is a lot better however than the first. my group though, is not as good as my previous, and this is going to alter the outcome a little. If i work good though, we can get a lot done and it will be of high quality. Today’s lesson was a very decent lesson, we did a good practical and we all worked very productivly. We took a brief video on our practical, as to use it if we need to present this in any way. Overall, i enjoyed the prac, and it was a very fun lesson.
