 * Welcome to My Web 2 **

This unit explores Web 2 tools and how they differ from Web 1 tools. Students choose a Web 2 tool to research and present their findings as an animation after creating the slide show in MS PowerPoint and then converting each slide to single images. The images are uploaded to [|www.animoto.com] (Animoto is a Web 2 tool) and once the music is selected an animated video is created. **To watch these movies click on the links below:** Wikipedia by Jeremy []

Google by Mathew [] Students examine the Web 2 technologies, their function, role and their advantages and disadvantages in using this technology. This leads to investigating issues that arise from using some of these technologies e.g. bullying. Students work in teams to create a script and a storyboard prior to creating a short movie based on the selected Web 2 tool and bullying issue. The movie is edited using ULead Video Studio 11. Some students chose to make a video using Kahootz. To complement this movie making session students are going on an excursion to the Screen Worlds Exhibition at ACMI Federation Square where they will have a guided tour. This is a whole day excursion and students investigated the best route and bus time tables for travelling to the centre.

Students examine the infrastructure of the internet and how censoring the internet occurs. Furthermore they compare the censoring of the internet across a number of countries and the issues arising from this censorship.

Students work is uploaded to this wiki for collaboration and presentation of their work.
