Well I am excited about making this i movie project. It will force me to actually learn how to use this program. I have some friends who have used i movie and they swear by it.
For my video I am going to film someone performing a softball pitch. I will have them go through the motions slow at first and then quickly at the end. I will have narriation as well as text in my video. I hope to have some still shots as well in my video. I will add some sweet background music for added effect as well. I hope that I can work out all of the problems that im sure will come up in the making of this sweet project..all in good time! Bring on I movie!

I movie!!
Well I think that I Movie is a great creation for those who are going into movie editing and for those people who have a lot of time on their hands because in my opinion it is a very hard program to figure out. I had fun messing with it in class this week but I know that when we have to create our own movie of us teaching or whatever; I might have some patience issues. However, overall I do have some friends that are very good at using this program and I will be calling for their assistance for sure. I am excited to learn a new program because after all what can learning something new really hurt any ways?

REFLECTION ON INTERNET SAFETY!
It was interesting because before this class, we got an email from our teacher telling the members of my group and myself what the topic of the day was and how if we wanted to relate our gospel presentation to that topic that we could do so. We gave our gospel presentation and I really learned a lot about internet safety.
Then I went to class and we had a great lesson on this same topic. I learned that you shouldn’t click to go to a site from an email because they could be sending you somewhere else that looks almost identical to the webpage that you were trying to go to and at the very same time they are probability stealing your information without you even knowing about it. We talked about identity theft and how important it is to not give out any information. We were taught that you shouldn’t even give out our birthday year. Now this really surprised me because I sat back in class and wondered what was so bad about people knowing what year you were born? He then went on to tell us that in order for people to find out what your identity is, they really just need your name and the year that you were born and with that information they can find out a whole lot more. I promptly got the importance of that little lesson.
After I heard that lesson and giving our internet safety presentation I really have a greater desire to be even more careful on the internet. I was always one to be cautions about what I put on the internet because I was told a few years ago that what you put on the internet never comes off because it is like you are writing that stuff in the air; and there is no way to catch air for real. I walked away from Thursday’s class with a little more caution and a little more desire to help others want to be better about what they put on the internet as well.
I called up my little sister who is still back home and I basically taught her the same lesson that I had just heard. Now she is pretty young and hasn’t had a whole lot of experience with the Internet but she does have an email account as well as a facebook; which these days is pretty much all kids really want the Internet for anyway. We talked about how easy it is for someone to steal your identity and how awful that might feel. I told her to never under any circumstance give out her social security number and to not use a password that contained any personal information. I encouraged her to change her email address and with some reluctance she agreed because her previous one had definitely contained way to much information. I felt good after I taught her this lesson and then she thanked me for making her more aware of the importance of Internet safety.
These same basic lessons will apply to by future family as well as to those who I am going to teach in the high schools. They will need to be even more cautious of what they put out into the world wide web because technology is always advancing and as information becomes more readily available to us so does the capability of others to hack into our lives and steal our own identities. We as teachers and as members of whatever communities that we live in need to help those around us understand the dangers of the Internet as well as the highlights. We need to teach them that the Internet is not a bad thing, in fact it is a beautiful thing that allows us to research many things with the click of a button. Overall, I am glad that we had this lesson because it definitely made me more aware and I am glad that I was able to teach someone else this past week.

Making a Website!
I do not like making websites because they are very difficult and time consuming. I would like to have more time to do this website because i think that it would be a better product if that was the case. I learned a ton through trial and error while i made this that is for sure. However, it was a good learning experience for me to say the least and now my Softball team at Timpview has their own website that they can use for real!!!
