My First Digital Story

Here is the link digital story -

Couple of things I ran into -

1. It was almost easier just to upload my movie to YouTube vs. doing it in Picasa3. It's only my opinion but even with a Google account I had to link it to YouTube (where I didn't have an account) before I could move forward plus I had the added step of pulling the material into Picasa3. I do see the benefit though in having all of your work in one place and that is one of the many things that Picasa3 is great at providing.

2. I ran into the fact that I had to get consent. Something I hadn't really thought about. After completing the piece I realized that I needed to ask for permission for two reasons a) a child is involved and that might pose a risk, and b) the subject is an "alternative" family, who might not necessarily be comfortable with having their story in cyberspace.

So I've covered all bases. It moves rather fast because it's a little long and I wanted to cut the viewing time for the sake of class.

Thanks.
