Creating my PSA was definitely hard work. While doing my research I learned a lot about domestic abuse and why it's important to stop it from continuing and happening. I absolutely love using iMovie and it's shown me how to do this as an amateur, and maybe soon enough i can get better at it. I feel good about my PSA, and I know it has flaws, but it's the best I can do.

I agree with amanda. It was hard, but i learned a lot. like before this class all i could do on a computer was turn it on login and search. I did my psa on poverty. it wasn't very hard to find pictures and info about the topic it was just hard to pay tribute to such a hugely expanded crisis.

When I watch a PSA on tv or on the internet, it looks like an effortless production, but this week when we made PSAs it was harder than I imagined it would be. This past week I have learned alot about education and how important it is to keep pushing and to get your high school diploma. iMovie was one of the cooler software programs I've ever used. I want a Mac laptop for college and I'm sure if I got one then I would play around on it all the time. I feel like I have done the best that I could on my PSA. It may not be the best, but I think it will make people say "wow!". I would also like to give a shoutout to my homies, Tayler, Chelsey, and Jesse for making my PSA worthiwhile. :)

Creating my PSA was hard work. I had to learn how to use iMovie and how to record voices onto the MAC laptop. While I was researching Poverty, I learned many different facts that I did not know about poverty in the life of children. I am pleased with my finished product. I like the pictures that I used and the sound effects. I would like to give a special thanks to Jima for recording her voice for my PSA because I am sick and my voice sounds weird. I would also like to give a special thanks to Tay Tay for giving me emotional support when I needed it, and Matt for giving me technical support when I needed it.

Making my PSA was difficult. I had to learn how to use iMovie, and at first it was confusing, but then I got the hang of it. I learned many different facts about child abuse and it makes me feel really sorry for the children who are going through it. I would like to give a special thanks to Jima, Chelsey, and Jesse for being in my PSA. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to make such an awesome PSA.

I definitely spent a lot of time on my PSA, and at times it was difficult to put together. I learned a lot of scary facts about the number of orphans in the world - 143 million - and the lives they typically lead when they enter young adulthood. I tried to get pictures that depicted the misery and loneliness of orphans and give statistics that would catch people's attention. Using Audacity was a challenge at first, but I eventually learned how to export all of my tracks and get them to my computer. I also learned how to make a production using the internet, iMovie, and iTunes together; I can take those skills and teach my family members with Mac how to use those programs. I am pleased with most of my pictures, although I would have rather had a more uniform look. I hate the sound of my own voice, however, so I don't like listening to the audio.

The PSA was very hard work. While doing my research I learned that we are the #1 global warming polluter in the world. I think my final product was pretty good.

I had a lot of fun creating my PSA. I learned a few things I didn't already know about the harmful effects and really had to think about the different ways to try to get into a child's mind and really aim my PSA towards them since that was the age group I chose. Even though I found a lot of new facts out about tobacco and it's harmful effects, I could only use a few dey facts that would really stick out and make kids pay attention. While making my PSA I learned how to do a lot of things on iPhoto and iMovie and how to legally use someone else's pics, since I didn't even know that any of those things existed before this class. I feel confident about my final product and hope that it really stands out. I am showing my project to children and I hope that this PSA stands out in their minds and makes a difference on their future decisions.

I think this was a good project to help us learn a lot about the bad in the world. I learned that a lot of family's live in poverty struggling to make it. I also learned that some humans rights deal with torture and any kind of torture is wrong.

My PSA was really complex. It took a lot of work but the stuff I learned from it is useful. Though I'm still not finished I feel that I have made a decent PSA. When I look at my PSA it seems like I did almost nothing, though I know it took a lot of work.

it was hard work. but it was also fun for me. i feel like i got my point across.
