Which elements of web 2.0 suits your need as a student?

The elements of Web 2.0 that suit my needs as a student 

include the ability to share information using our blogs

 and wikis for our school work and home work. The ability

 to research using Web 2.0 is very useful I because if there 

is something I am unsure about, then I can check many different sources and blogs from different people which have a simple

 layout to get my information. One of the elements I think is most effective and would suit me as a student would be GOOGLE, because 

you can search up anything you want and you get a variety of 

results from blogs to wikis to professional companies/organizations.

My reflection on my Tech fair project

Our final project was a stop motion creation and it came out very close to what we had in mind and it was very successful in my eyes.

The difficult part of our project was the actual photo taking since we took up to 4000 photos. It was hard because we had to repeatedly take photos in time and keep them in sequence.

The easy but long part was the editing because we had to import alot of photos over 3500 photos so that took a while. It was easy because as we imported them they automatically went into order. 

If we had to do this all over again i would like to add a meaning or story to our stop motion and not just alot of photos. 

I worked in a group of 2 and was really helpful for both of us. It was helpful as we had to take photos and doing that alone would be harder. 

Overall i believe our project went quite successful and was very close to what we had in mind even before we started filming.

Design For Our Idea

Final

We will do a stop motion which will be educational and fun for everybody, even to present to primary student as it will help them more in an educational manner manner. I will work with Darya as it will benefit in filming and we could involve more characters into the stop motion.

Hardware and Software needed

SLOW MOTION

- Camera
- Editing software
- Time
-  Props
- Flammable stuff
- Controlled environment
-  Tripod

Advantages and Disadvantages

SLOW MOTION/ STOPMOTION:

ADVANTAGES

- More appealing to senior students
- Would look "Cooler"
- The story could be inspiring
- Would enjoy filming
- Would keep audiences attention
- Unique no one would include stop motion and slow motion

DISADVANTAGES

- Would drag slightly
- Not all would find interesting
- Working with fire so risk factor

Tech Fair Thoughts

For the tech fair my partner and I were brainstorming various ideas to base out tech fair project on

SLOW MOTION: Was one of the ideas we had, for example working with fire and using different props alongside the fire as it would give different  shadows at night and would be a array of illusions involved.
STOP MOTION: We would combine the slow motion with the stop motion to portray a form of story and they would all be connected internally

ANIMATION: We would create an animation involving various things, educational, humorous and or maybe reenact some scenes of something.
