I love computers! Gaming on my X Box, PS2, N64, my handhelds and Windows games on the computer, looking through my photo and video collections, YouTube, blogging and my favourite Internet sites. I like PowerPoint, video editing, and Im learning to use Flash. On the the Mac I like Garage Band and iStopMotion. I want to learn to sequence music so I can score my own movies and animations.
One piece of kit I really need is my communication aid because I can't talk. It has 128 buttons and thousands of words are stored on it under keyboard shortcuts of 2, 3, or 4 key presses, mostly 2.
Imagine needing to know the keyboard shortcut to EVERY word you want to say before you can speak! That's a talent in itself! And they say I have a learning disability! Normal computers are easier to use because you can see everything.
The picture shows my first drawings in Paint, a screenshot of Mace Griffin, the first game I completed without using cheats - because there weren't any, a clock I made using CAD/CAM software, me word processing from my communication aid to my laptop to send an email, animating my name in Boinx iStopMotion, and me reading with my English teacher using a picture dictionary for the keyboard shortcuts to the words - all those files in the background show how many pages of words I learned by heart when I was in Year 7!
I was aged between 11 and 14 when the pics were taken.
I used my Flip camera to film a screen capture movie on my computer screen as I haven't learned how to export the original in the right format for here yet.
