PERSONAL INTRODUCTION
Introduce yourself to the class in a creative and interesting manner that gives a lasting impression about you. Tell us a short story -- your proudest moment, most embarrassing moment, a scary event in your life, an "a-ha" learning event, etc.
Create a multimedia object using an online tool. If it has a running time, the time should not exceed 120 seconds. Shorter is better, but the minimum length is 30 seconds.
Use an online tool or mobile applications (apps) to create your introduction. Some suggestions: Animoto, Slide.ly, Pinterest, Pixorial, Haiku Deck, Projeqt, Prezi, PowToons, Jing or Screenr. Animoto and Slide.ly may also be accessed from Facebook, in which case, your photos may be used directly. PowerPoint or similar "traditional" applications (Keynote, Google Presentation, etc.) MAY NOT be used.
You may choose to remix media from Creative Commons [http://search.creativecommons.org] in lieu of creating a product from scratch. The product that you submit must be original and NOT have been used previously in another class or presentation.
Prepare a short introduction statement (25-50 words) to post with the link to your video.
Once completed, post your video and intro statement as a comment on the Personal Introduction page.
