Steering clear of Cyber tricks video


To start with we are going to watch the following video.  This should help you in understanding a little more about Internet Safety, and you may want to take notes so that you can use the information in your presentation/movie on Xtranormal.  


STEERING CLEAR OF CYBER TRICKS:



Once we complete watching the video as a class, you will have the full hour to work on your Internet Safety project on Xtranormal.  There are several points to keep in mind:

  1. The most important thing you need to do is get all of your information typed into your movie.  Don't worry about including character motions, camera angles, etc. yet because you are not being graded on how many of those you include in the movie.  The information, on the other hand, IS what you are getting graded on - so concentrate on completing that part first.
  2. Once you have included all of your information in the manner you want it to appear in your movie, I would suggest that you go back through your text boxes and spell check.  Remember, the website characters are going to say exactly what you have typed in.  
  3. If you are done, now is the perfect time to make your movie even that much better.  Continue to add small details that increase the quality of your movie.  Find additional details that your characters can talk about by going back and using a different website from the Internet Safety page to gather information, or do a search on your own.  
  4. It is almost impossible to have too much information.  If you imagine your audience being a group of 2nd or 3rd graders, then create your movie so that your audience is able to understand what you are saying.  In other words, the more information you have (or the more examples you give) the easier it would be for them to remember what Internet Safety involves.
  5. SAVE OFTEN!!  Saving often avoids losing what you have already created.
  6. DO NOT PUBLISH YET!! Publishing uses up your Xtranormal points, and you only have 300 Xtranormal points to work with.  If you publish before you're completely finished you are going to have to create a new account or buy points (definitely NOT recommended!).
