 Leanna
Author of Invitation to Your Madrigal Dinner
Leanna had the responsibility of writing the content for
the site. She used several different writing programs and email. Email
was used to collect permission statements, interviews, and organize meetings.
She also used Netscape Composer when setting up the appearance of this
web site's pages. On average, Leanna felt she worked 25 hours a week or
more. To prepare, Leanna went to and participated in local madrigal performances.
She also talked to people who had more experience with madrigals than she
did.
This is Leanna's second year working on a ThinkQuest site.
Last year Sarah and Leanna worked with an oversea's partner in Egypt, Nora
to create the site, A
Woman Called Egypt. A Woman Called Egypt is a site that teaches
information about Cleopatra VII through aspects of an original play.
ThinkQuest has been a good experience for Leanna because
she feels that the program allows her to explore areas she would never
have a chance to explore anywhere else.
 Haley
Computer Technician of Invitation
to Your Madrigal Dinner
Haley had the responsibility of proof
reading the site and making sure the links work correctly. She used
Netscape Composer to edit the page appearance. She also used Adobe Photoshop
for scanning and adjusting images. VideoWave and RealPlayer producer were
used to create the video clips. Haley's prior experiences with webpages
includes a webpage design class at Galesburg High School as well as some
work on some individual websites.
This is Haley's first year working
on a ThinkQuest site. The experience has taught her how to work with a
group for one common goal. It has also given her the chance to learn about
different software, such as VideoWave, that she would not have otherwise
dealt with. She also feels that working on ThinkQuest with a Mac
has given her a greatly widened area of experience.
 Sarah
Graphic Artist of Invitation to
Your Madrigal Dinner
Sarah had the responsibility
of making the images look as sharp and clear as possible. In order to accomplish
this task, she spent countless hours using filters on Adobe PhotoShop.
Sarah said she always seemed to learn something when she used Adobe PhotoShop
wherever she was.
Sarah also learned a lot about madrigal
dinners while working on this site. Sarah felt she didn’t really know anything
about them until she started working on this site.
Sarah has also worked on the ThinkQuest
site A Woman Called Egypt and taken several art classes at high school.
Sarah’s favorite part about working on ThinkQuest is working with her partners.
