XtraNormal

www.xtranormal.com
This site is a very easy to use website to create many fun filled videos. Our task for Xtranormal was to create a video to make people aware of a particular problem that students face. There were a variety of options to choose from such as School Uniforms, lifestyle and cyber bullying. In the end, i chose to make a video of cyber bullying.
Using xtranormal was pretty easy to use and yet had many options for the video that i was trying to make.You could choose different backgrounds, characters and voices. Many customizeable animations and facial expressions made the videos more interesting. We are also able to change the camera angle.
After a few lessons working on my video about cyber bullying, I finally created a video which went for over 2 minutes which was very informative and funny :D

Web 2.0

SUP GUYS it's been a long time since I posted a blog but this new blog entry is about Web2.0/wikispaces.
First of all, we learnt how to set up a wiki on wikispaces. Using this wiki, we could create posts for just about anything. here is wikispaces- wikispace.com

Our task was to create a wiki about a Web 2.0 application and present it to the class as well as to give a 1 minute speech about our application.
The Web 2.0 application that I chose to present was called Kerpoof. This magnificent web application can be used to create many drawings such as stories, cards and doodles. This web application is especially good for people who aren't so good at drawing. With kerpoof, one is just a few clicks away from a work of art :D
The link for Kerpoof is: kerpoof.com
And after all of my hard work, this is what my finish wiki of kerpoof looks like


Though, this task was quite easy, it was still quite difficult learning skills and learning about websites/applications that I've never used before. It was also difficult to insert pictures/screenshots into the wiki. On the plus side, kerpoof.com was a pretty easy to understand and use
