Session 6-1 Online Photo and Video sharing tools

This week, we will look at a couple of online video/photo sequencing tools. Most of these online tools have a free option that gives you some basic functionality as well as the ability to share your creations.

If you have a facebook account (and you ALL should have), most will allow you to log in using this.

Social Media

In our social media class last term, we discovered a range of photo/video sharing tools that were available. The difference between social media photo/video tools is the amount of "interaction" that both the sharers and the viewers have with each other. Social Media tools allow you to "follow" or "like" posters and to comment on items shared.
