Lauren's+Tissue+Project

media type="custom" key="412677" The Tissue Project was one of the most frustrating projects I have ever worked on. We had to put all of our notes on tissues on a powerpoint slideshow, while including pictures of tissues we took in with a microscope and camera, and recording a small lesson on each slide and putting that on the slide as well. This would be a heavy load for any student, computer genius or not. Unfortunately, I am not a computer genius, in fact, I am an uneducated computer user (even though I did take a computer class all through elementary and middle school along with a year and a half of a computer class at Faith Lutheran). Imagine how hard this was for me. The pictures were really hard to take. The lense of the camera would not focus with the lense of the microscope properly and loading the pictures from a website onto powerpoint was hard. Then the sound file would not load onto the computer and when it finally did, it took forever to do. But after all the problems I got back on track and was able to finish the project.

And even though I complained a lot about this project, I learned so much from it. Now I can use powerpoint a little better and can download pictures from the camera to a website, to another website. And, if I feel so inclined, I can record my voice with no problem. So in the future, probably in my college years, I will be able to make a powerpoint in a shorter amount of time which will not only keep my classmates awake, but also give me an 'A'.

I know my tissue's project could have been executed better. The pictures are fuzzy and badly cropped, the overall look is bland and the sound not exactly entertaining. But for an uneducated computer user, it's not too terrible. Next time, I will be sure to give myself enough time for mistakes and with the experience I have already, be able to make a ultimately better slideshow.
