Assignment #4

Start of school year video seen below.

This was a really fun assignment to work on. I had to first look for pictures that fit into the idea that I had in my head. Then I had to put it in the order that I wanted it on animoto.com along with the text I wanted to put on it. That was the fun and easy part.

I then had to film myself and edit that video on movie maker and add animoto to my computer so that I can add it along with my video. That was not as easy. And then adding in the voice over to fit the images going into the short video was a little hard but fun at the same time.

The technology I learned to use with this assignment was the programs on animoto. I learned to transfer pictures and short video clips from my brothers digital camera. And I also learned to add voice over the images being played on movie maker. I also had to learn how to transfer my video from my computer to photobucket.com to either a html or straight to my blog.

Since the students do not create anything there is no NETS*S. But my project fulfills the NETS*T that I have listed above because I am exhibiting a knowledge and sill in the digital society. I am also communicating relevant information and ideas to the students through the video.
