“A multimedia system is an information system that combines at least TWO to THREE types of media, such as text, hypertext, audio, images, animations and video”.

1.) Provide a description and an example of each type of media listed above.

The media of text is written or printed work an example of this would be a magazine with the information and the written or printed text. Hyper text is when you insert a hyperlink into the tex. The media of Audio is simply when you hear sound or effect in presentations for example when a created movie is made from movie maker there is usually sound in the background to keep the audience engaged. the media images are basically pictures placed within the text to be presented. Video is basically having to do with visual presentation of information usually presented on a monitor screen. The media animations are drawings made to move using technology.

2.) Outline THREE problems with the design of the following powerpoint slide.

• Too much text
• Text font is to small
• Does not follow the rule of the 10-20-30 rul

1. What is meant by the 10 – 20 – 30 rule.

the 10-20-30 rule is basically to help people create an awesome and attractive powerpoint presentation to their audience. The rule is simply that your powerpoint must contain a maximum of 10 slides, and it must be presented within 20 minutes and your text must be 30 point font.

2. Explain why it is important to make sure that you are effective in the presentation of your nominee.

It is extremely important to make sure that you are effective in you presentation of your nominee because our main goal is to justify and sell the reasons why our nominee should receive the Marist Of The Year Award and also we are meant to keep our audience interactive with our presentation and listen to what we are explaining.

1.) Read the following parables and identify the inspiring quality that Jesus is trying to teach us.

After reading through the series of parables in each parable our lord Jesus teaches us many inspiring qualities. After reading the parable of the unmerciful servant Jesus is trying to teach us that each of us must be patient with one another and understand the problem that someone may be going through and give time and try to help out with one another. In the parable of the persistent widow Jesus teaches us That we shall never give up because there is always hope that Jesus will grant you with his blessing through giving the power to everyone of us to assist one another in the time of need or trouble.

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
The Parable of the Rich Young Man

The Beatitudes

1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3″Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11″Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

1. Define the term ‘beatitude’.

Any of the declarations of blessedness made by Jesus in the sermon on the munt.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/beatitude

2. Explain the purpose of the beatitudes.

The purpose of the Beatitudes is to show how the poor and the needy struggle through the hardship caused by life, will recieve the greatest reward for their pain and suffering in the aftelife which maybe eternal happiness in the kingdom of heaven.

3. Select ONE beatitude and describe how inspiring people of faith put into practice the teachings of Jesus. Use an example to support your answer.

11″Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Inspiring people of Faith put this into practice by when being put down by the evil taunts of the devil we are inspired to look for God For that he will make you glad and rejoice in goodness for that how great your reward will be in heaven.

I can see this charisma evident around the Parramarist community by seing students like my self being alert and active and also by having a friendly relationship with another student or teacher to communicate and work together to get work accomplished set out by due dates.

”A sense of family ”

I can see this charisma evident around the Parramarist community by students and teachers communicating with one another to learn from each other showing a better working environment for the year 9 family

”Presence”

I can see this charisma evident around the Parramarist community by just seing students and parents just attending major school events such as commencement mass, mother and sons mass and also by attending the awards nights.

List and describe TWO ways you believe we can create a better sense of ‘Marist Family’ within Parramatta Marist.

Within Parramatta Marist we can create a prayer group that can fit into our lesson where it could be like a bible sharing and we can relate what has happened in our week with quotes from the the bible given that lesson. We can also get students to work together to assist one another such as the project PBL year 9 are undertaking through to year 10

The person i have chosen who has inspired me is my dad. He was raised up in the Philippines with 2 brothers and 4 sisters with my dad being the second youngest child. He was born in 1955 and had moved here in Australia in 1985. He then brought his family of 2 children to Australia in 1994. He is currently working in the NAB bank working in the loan department. And is happily enjoying his life with his loving family

Discuss briefly why you consider them to be inspiring.

I have chosen my dad because he had told me his life when he was a young youth like me back in the day. He told me his life was hard growing up in poor life but he overcame it. Each day he would work to earn money for his brothers and sisters whilst he still went to school during the day. He told me through the hard times and the bad of his life he was the only member of his family to receive a degree and to go into college. From college he then graduated and move into Australia to raise a family and to earn money to help his brothers and sisters in the Philippines who are less fortunate then he is.

Strategies that can be used to assist group work is sitting down with one another and going through the work they were set to do and asking any questions that they need help with. Another stategy is to help the team find much better info by teaching him how to use the internet and showing him how to prove the information found is correct.
