...Year 10 Communications Technology Unit: Animation Task Title: Stop Motion Name: Teacher: Mr Rogers Year: 2012 Term: 3 Date Given: 3/08/2012 Prelim Date: 4/09/2012 Due Date: 14/09/2012 Context for Learning The moving pictures that we see on our television or at the movies are made up of many thousands of still pictures that, when played back reasonably quick, trick our brains into thinking there is movement. Modern video is composed of up to 30 frames per second and seems smooth when viewed. This same effect can be achieved at much lower frame rates and clever use of camera and editing techniques can create the illusion of movement when none really exists. Through these methods animated reality can be achieved, avoiding the need to draw 20-30 frames for every second of video. Assessment Task Design and produce a stop motion animation video. This will involve: 1. Writing a proposal outlining your planned story and how you intend to produce your animation (hand drawn, clay models, Lego/action figures/teddy bears, furniture, etc.) Also explain what equipment and software you plan to use (ask for assistance if uncertain). Follow the format on the next page. 2. Creating a storyboard with enough panels to demonstrate the shooting and editing plan. Follow the format on the next page. 3. Shoot and edit your video sequence using available equipment and software. Add sound effects, dialogue and music. Export as an AVI, WMV or MP4 file format at a high quality resolution saved...

...describes how the plan evolves and adjusts during the transition. Question #1. Identify and describe the steps of the planned change process a) Recognize the need for change. The top management level recognized the need of a change. The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA) was created by a California state law in October 2001. In this case, the change was motivated for the need to be seen differently in the marketplace. b) Develop the goals of the change. It was necessary to determine the importance of the change. Two broad but interdependent categories of initial activity emerged: developing the transition plan and dealing with the legal and regulatory issues. Both problems and improvement chances were evaluated and made. The group lead by Thella Bowens understood the importance of SDCRAA quickly becoming a standalone agency and recommended revising the existing strategic plan, to hire staff to research, discuss, and create a transition plan, and to conduct retreats with employees from multiple organization levels. c) Select a change agent. The change agent is the person who takes leadership responsibility to implement planned change. Thella Bowens was the senior director of the Aviation Division within the Port of San Diego International Airport that was responsible for operating the change. She was well positioned to lead this effort and she took the senior team from the old Aviation Division to an off-site workshop to discuss the creation and management...

...Minister for Information and Communications Minister’s Statement Access to information is crucial to economic growth. Information and communications technology offer a powerful tool that, if deployed equitably, can ensure citizens are empowered and Government can deliver services more effectively. Information is vital for the efficient delivery of public and private sector product and services that are responsive to the needs of citizens and businesses as well as capacity creation. For a variety of reasons (economic and policy), developing countries like Kenya are less equipped to take advantage of the potential in ICT to stimulate growth, and are likely to fall behind advanced economies. The Kenya ICT Master Plan is therefore not designed in isolation, given that there is evidence from developed countries that investment in ICT facilitates economic growth by increasing productivity. As the Kenya Government ensures an enabling ICT environment and regulatory framework, this plan aims at stimulating the setup of ICT-related businesses to enhance employment creation. At the heart of this document is a strategic intent to develop a robust ICT sector that will enhance economic growth through creation of businesses and hence employment. In the execution of this plan, Kenya will become a leading ICT hub for the region, improve the lives of her citizens and see significant ICT-led economic growth in line with Vision 2030. This ICT Master Plan aims at building and promoting...
