<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">In thing 3 for Rudai 23 I was asked to download an image from one
of the image bank sites mentioned in the description of the task and upload to
either my blog or Flickr account.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This was a relatively easy task in my
opinion. In thing 3 I wrote a short blog and then uploaded an image from Flickr
that was relevant to the piece I wrote. Thankfully this task was straight
forward so no help was needed in completing thing 3. Flickr was very user friendly
and consequently I found the image that I uploaded without huge difficulty. The
one aspect that I was a little bit paranoid about was the whole copyright issue.
<span style="color: #4b4b4b;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a result
when checking on Flickr for an image I only checked out images that had a
creative commons basis.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4b4b4b; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">In conclusion the
instructions for the above task were clear and concise. As a result I
encountered no real problems in completing the task. </span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The task for thing 4 was to download a mobile app with the aim to
create a video which I uploaded to my blog.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I uploaded the Quik app to my phone. I selected photos from a
recent trip to Paris; I then selected my theme, music and format etc. I really
enjoyed experimenting with the various features in Quik. I found Quik really
fun to use and I have no excuse to use it in the future now that I have downloaded
the app onto my phone. I think it could be especially useful to record family
trips, holidays and special occasions. Again I needed no help in creating my
video in Quik as I played around with the app for a while before putting
together the video. I uploaded the video to my Facebook page and I then copied
and pasted the link to my blog.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">In conclusion the above task was achievable without any help and I
had a lot of fun in using Quik. If I was to offer some advice it would be to
give yourself enough time to play around with the app before finalising your
video.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">My task for thing 5 was to create an account with Powtoon and from
there to put together some slides that could be uploaded onto my blog.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">In thing 5 I decided to create an account with Powtoon as opposed
to Screencast-O-matic to put together some slides. After much deliberation I
decided to put together some photos I had taken of my local area,
Ballina/Killaloe. I created 4 slides. The first slide was a photo taken of the
Cathedral in Killaloe a number of years ago. This is a very prominent building
in the area and is very visible on your approach into Ballina from Birdhill.
The second slide is a photo of my daughter running through a wooded area on the
shores of Lough Derg. The third and fourth are the millennium cross and my
garden respectively. I found PowToon to be very similar to PowerPoint which I
would have used quite a bit in my various working situations. I really enjoyed
playing around with the various features in PowToon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though my presentation may seem very
amateur and basic to the expert eye I was happy with it. The only difficulty I
encountered was trying to embed the presentation on my blog. I eventually
managed to upload to Facebook and from there I copied the link which I pasted
to my blog.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">In conclusion PowToon was fun to use; it is designed for those of
us who would not be experts in creating video presentations so it is very user
friendly. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
Hi, here goes! First blog, never saw myself as a blogger. Already
mortification is setting in at the thoughts of anyone reading this. I have
always been wary of social media. I have never used twitter or snap chat but I
do have Instagram and Facebook accounts but I don’t participate in either in
any great way. I haven’t been in my Instagram account in months. However I do
login to Facebook from time to time, maybe once a week. When I do I am always
surprised at the amount of news especially in my local area that I have been
totally unaware of so in that respect it is a great forum for posting local
news, events etc.</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi095PPmYnlVpyrwIXdKIn1crrO9PnMc20iWwBUSKH5C8i7PZQfHFET8IUGcHB1dZ9HtPBvklOXSRW-6N3BISu-lEr6N8p3HoTs4c-HT65m2WTW6q1FIjfwuYLZTJWylylPJyQsRa8fXGrO/s1600/twitter-292994_640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="640" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi095PPmYnlVpyrwIXdKIn1crrO9PnMc20iWwBUSKH5C8i7PZQfHFET8IUGcHB1dZ9HtPBvklOXSRW-6N3BISu-lEr6N8p3HoTs4c-HT65m2WTW6q1FIjfwuYLZTJWylylPJyQsRa8fXGrO/s200/twitter-292994_640.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">lets get twitting!!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
So I guess what I am saying is that I should not be afraid and wary of
social media, I should embrace it. It can be a lifesaver as I discovered while
reading an article on Hurricane Irma in the guardian today. </div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Many current and former BVI
residents are using social media to mobilise resources and circulate lists of
urgently needed supplies, including generators, blankets, bed linen, mosquito
tablets and construction materials."</span></i></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Social media is a good thing and need
not be feared. Lets embrace it!</span></div>
