So, this week was make-your-own video-PSA week on the assignment board, and I needed to consult my good friend, Google, to help get me to the finish line.
As expected, it was a whirlwind of working through unit materials, downloading new programs, learning the new programs, and drafting assignment materials in collaboration with my assigment partner in another time zone, and submit the assignment (in media I’ve never seen before) by midnight Friday.
As expected, it was a little nuts. What's more, Google Hangouts turned into Google Glitch, and though we fostered successful collaboration, my assignment partner and I didn't always see eye to eye on the most effective way to present each of the elements in our 40-second video.
Nonetheless, we learned from and taught one another as we went, and ultimately produced a 40-second PSA on cyberbullying, using content licensed through Creative Commons. Picasa photo editing, Windows Movie Maker, Google Hangouts, Google Drive, Dropbox, audio, music, video, and narration all factored into the process.
Whew! As we reached the point of "Done is better than perfect," we had to agree that we learned a lot in the process, and we may revisit this collection of media for our final project.
"Cut!" (and post.)
And here it is: Say NO to cyberbullying.
