9 Squares (B posting)

Last week we were given an assignment titled 9 Squares. When I first read all of the direction I thought that it was going to be very difficult. In this activity we had to create a 9x9 table in Microsoft Word. In this table we would have to crop 9 pictures to 150x150. While trying to crop my pictures I was unable to get them to be exactly 150x150. Every time I would try to change the size the other one would change also. My pictures ended up being 200x150 because that is all my computer would allow me to do. I hope it is not that big of a problem to affect my grade much. After a picture was placed into the 9 boxes you would have to hyperlink something that you recorded through Audacity onto the picture. What was recorded through audacity was a sentence or two describing your photo so that at the end of the project you would be able to put all of the photos in order by your recording on each picture. It is supposed to end up like a little story. During high school I took three years of computers classes and besides my pictures not cropping to the correct size I had forgotten how to shade my table again. I just knew how to do it in class but all of a sudden my mind went blank and I forgot. After going through every tab a million times I was finally able to do it, and remembered right away after I found it. But after completing this project I enjoyed it very much. What I learned while doing this project was to hyperlink. I have hyperlinked a couple of times before but not though a saved file onto a picture. It is a very neat thing to add to a picture or any object. Like I mentioned at first I was a little scared of this assignment after reading the directions in class. But after completing it, I enjoyed it very much. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be and it was fun in the mean time. Also with the step by step instruction that were given I was able to complete the assignment in a timely manor and go back over and make sure I did everything according to the list. The step by step instructions are great and would be very helpful with all assignments that are given.
