imovie outline

For my imovie project I am going to focus on serving in tennis. So my project will therefore be titled "How to serve a tennis ball" And here is an outline of how it will go down.

1. Still pictures of each component of a serve with narration of proper form and technique. Beginning with the grip and stance, toss, swing and follow through.

2. Show some complete tennis serves with all of the components.

3. Then have credits.

imovie

I have never used imovie before so it was fun to learn about it. I think it is a really cool program. I liked that I could have different effects to my video. I also like how you can split a clip. This would be useful if there was a part of the clip that wasn't needed. It would also be useful as a teacher. I think it would be fun to make videos for my physical education class when I am a teacher. I could make instructional videos or just a video of what we do in class for parents to see. I hope I can learn more and become better at using imovie.

Internet Safety

I think the internet is a great tool that we all have access to. It can be very useful, but I think it is also important to understand internet safety. There are so many ways that someone can get information about me on the internet if I am not careful. And so I need to know how to protect myself. I am usually pretty conscious about what information I share on the internet. I do have a facebook account. But I have put up privacy and security settings to monitor what information people can see. I also have a personal blog. After our discussion in class and reading more about internet safety, I have really considered making my blog private. That way I can monitor who can read it and make comments on it. I also really like what church articles say about the internet and I think it is a good idea to pay attention to what they say.

Internet safety applies to everyone. Teenagers and children need to be aware of safety procedures when they use the internet. it is true that sometimes teens don't make the smartest decisions so they need to be informed so they can make smart choices regarding the internet. I think that parents also have a responsibility in monitioring internet use and keeping the computer in a public area in the house. When I am a teacher, I will need to let my students know about safety procedures. I need to teach them the importance of being safe on the internet when they are doing homework and also during perosnal use and social networking. My students need to know that this is a serious issue. Teens and studnets should know what personal information is okay and not okay to put on teh internet. I would also stress to my students to never meet someone in person that they have met on the internet. I would also tell them to talk to their parents aobut any concerns they may have.

I taught my roommate/best friend about internet safety. I would never want something to happen to her because she was not careful enough on the internet. I taught her about the personal information she allows people to see on her facebook. And I talked to her about the privacy settings and how they might be beneficial. I metntioned to her that future employers may look her up on the internet so we shoudl be careful what we put out there. We talked about emails and that if we dont know who sent it and it looks suspicious to just delete it. We also discusse the fact that we should use safe search engines and use pop-up blockers. Overall I think the most important thing is to be really careful about giving out personal information on the internet.

Website

Building a website is something I have never done before, so it was kind of cool to learn how. The hardest part for me I think was the calendar part. I made my class calendar but had all of the events on my personal calendar. This meant you couldn't see the events on my website so I had to go change all of the events to the right calendar. I also had fun with the picnik photo editing site. It was cool to see all the different things you can do to your pictures. If anyone cares to see by website here is the link.
