This is an instructional video on text wrapping a graphic. This can be used with any type of graphic...in this video I am using a piece of Word Art as an example. To create this video I have downloaded Screencast-O -Matic...a free piece of software that lets you capture screen movements as well as your narration. Once captured you can save the video in whatever format you choose to your computer. When I am downloading free software I like to go to CNET and download from there.
Today I would like you to finish the 3 assignments from last week:
1. 6 word memoir Wordle
2. Word document with 6 words in Word Art and the back story for each
3. Your Olympic moment...a paragraph about an Olympic moment you found interesting...please include a picture also
Remember to put your name on all 3 and staple them together and turn in.
