#3 Our Digital Notebook !

 Now this is life…Canva…

When I heard how we are taking our notes for this class, my face actually lit up. Instead of the usual notetaking method, Ms.Ortiz (our media studies teacher) opted to assign a digital notebook. 

To create this digital notebook we use the great app called CANVA (this is not a paid promotion, totally wish it was…sponsor me Canva). This assignment not only calls for the notes and correct information from the textbook but CREATIVITY. Thank you Ms.Ortiz

The HomePage…

The first step towards creating this notebook is the homepage, this is what captures the audience (or Ms.ortiz or anyone who she shows it to.) A little “me” plug, Ms.Ortiz had actually shown my notebook to the author of the current AICE Media Studies textbook during her training, which i find very exciting. Enough about me, back to this notebook...

The homepage had to consist of a title, all units (8) with links to a page for each, and some imagery.

And this is how mine came out:

Each Unit...

So, for the notes themselves, they are housed in the pages of our quote unquote website. Each page has about 8,000 px (pixels) of length, large enough for each chapter, right? Nope. At least not for me i can be a try hard at times. My first chapter/ unit fit in the page WITH SPACE, then came along 2.2... This dealt with everything about camera shots, angle, frames, and composition, which is VERY CRUCIAL information. I just thought to put as much as i can onto the page, because *cough* *cough* i am a try hard. 

Well, it all came in handy because Ms.Ortiz said she loved how it looked, and asked if she could use it as an example (oh yeahhhh...-this was said not sarcastically)

The Gallery / Walkthrough

Doing a little flashback, after completing our first chapter, we had to "check out" everyone's homepage and how the notebook is coming out. [I will be honest, I was just ready to finish my work and go home, but I kept on], so I turned my tablet around (device I was using at the time), so people can see and i was wondering as to why, no one stopped to look at mine, until one girl came up and said, "where's yours" to which I replied "right here, of course..." because obviously that's the only place it can be, but turns out my tablet was off almost half the time... (embarrassing...); although, when I turned its back on (and ensured it did for the rest of the time), people said it looked great and professional, I call that a win. 

This is how it looks so far...

I can't wait to continue this notebook and see the completed look later....
