iMovie PSA NETs 3


Using iMove, a free software tool on MAC computers I was able to produce a public service announcement (PSA) for California State University San Macros. Using the iMovie software I was able to upload video footage from a video camera onto a MAC computer. Once the footage had be uploaded I was able to manipulate the length of each clip, insert various transitions between clips, freeze frames, add text, titles, and voiceovers. I inserted facts about the increasing fees facing students in the California State University system. I uploaded my PSA to my Google blog. 

Cyber Safety Collaborative Site NETs 4



Using Google sites, a free website creating software through Google that allows people to work collaboratively on the website, add attachments, upload videos and other Google applications like Google Docs, Google Calendar and Picasa, I created an informative website about cyber safety with a group of my peers. The application itself is created using a basic website template that can easily be changed with color, text, images and videos. On our cyber safety website we embedded links, pictures and videos to inform students about inappropriate content, cyberbullying, cyber predators, identify safety, piracy and plagiarism, and social networks. Each topic got its own page where we embedded links, pictures and videos to make the site interactive.  To keep our site organized and user friendly we created a side tool bar with tabs for each page.
