www.rockyou.com Project


For this assignment, we were to choose a software site that can edit pictures and create slide shows. Our site was www.rockyou.com. We took pictures of ourselves and created a story slide show about "What to do when you loose your keys to your car". It was interesting and fun to work in a group cooperatively.

Was the software user-friendly?
* For me, it was kind of hard to use. We had downloaded all our pictures on the site that said "download pictures". Then we found out later that it was at a wrong location where we had downloaded. We also could only download ONE picture at a time.

Did the software have extra useful features to enhance your presentation (or just minimal)?
Yes it had features to enhance our story slide. We used different types such as glitter, text, motion, skins, and etc. The only problem was that we could only use ONE type for all slides.

Is the software specifically useful for teachers?
I would say not really because there are other sites better than this one (my opinion).

Would you recommend the software for other educators?
I would recomend they try it out and then figure if they like it or not. It's a good site--but it was just confusing at first.

If you had a choice to use this software again for a presentation, would you use it?
No. I would use the other sites to do my presentation. I like the software that we could add music to it.

What overall consensus rating would you give for this software 1- 10 (10 being the highest).
I would rate this site a 6 just because we had a bad first "download" experience. It's a good site.
