Web 2.0

A great Web 2.0 site is Rollyo.  This is where you can create your own search engine with the sites that you trust.  This would be of great use to parents because their children will need to use the internet more and more during school.  Parents can create a search engine that uses the sites that they approve in order to keep their children safer on the internet.  If parents did this children would be able to use their computers for research more and be able to improve their education.
Facebook can be used to further education as teachers collaborate on it.  Facebook is another way that teachers who know each other can share ideas.  Also, teachers can make groups and post different ideas and lessons that they teach.  That way they can share with other teachers.

Now and Forever Video


Making this video was a really good experience.  It was difficult at first to get everything figured out, but once I did everything worked out well.  I've always wanted to learn how to edit videos and this was a simple enough assignment that I could learn how to do it but also add in different aspects of editing.  I think I would be able to make another video if I was given enough time.

iMovie

I have never used iMovie before, so this week I have still been figuring out how to do different things.  My partner and I have been gathering music and video we can use in order to make our videos but we haven't come to a point where we can make the video and upload it to YouTube yet.  One problem that I have run into is that my original plan for the movie was to use clips of college athletes.  But that was too difficult to actually get video of, so I had to change plans slightly and simply use shots of college age students doing the different actions.
