This would have been great to have known about when I have had to make presentations.

Final Audio for Interactive Design

Description of this class from the Art Institutes Catalog:
This course looks at the principles and practices of digital audio in an interactive design setting. Students learn to use current digital audio programs for recording, editing, sequencing, and mixing for a variety of outputs and applications.

What we actually covered:
How to embed a youtube video! A complete waste of time and money!

Here are screen shots from my final website for this class.

Project Proposal

We are building a website for Audio for Interactive Design.

The website that I am going to do is a college recruiting website for my daughter, Micaela. My daughter has colleges in other states recruiting her for wrestling. She needs a website that she can direct colleges so that they can view information about her. The website will provide Micaela with a clear profile of herself to direct coaches to. This website will not only show that Micaela is a gifted athlete but she is academically ready for college.

The main goal of this site will be to provide information to coaches and college admission representatives information about Micaela. The easiest way to measure the success of this website is if she gets a wrestling scholarship. Coaches will be able to see a highlight video of Micaela’s wrestling. She will not have to send out individual DVDs to coaches anymore. She can direct them to her website. She can update videos so coaches can track her progress. She will be able to provide hyperlinks to articles that have been written about her in the Pflugerville Pflag.
