Websites<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many free website building tools exist, including:<\/p>\n

Wix <\/b>https:\/\/eunicelee621.wixsite.com\/eas369-eunicelee<\/a><\/p>\n

WordPress.com <\/b>https:\/\/powerfuleastasianwomen.wordpress.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Audio & Video<\/h2>\n

Many tools will allow you to combine images, music, audio narration, and video, incorporating transitions, pans, zooms (ala Ken Burns) to produce a video. All the available presentations tools, such as Powerpoint<\/b>, Keynote<\/b>, and Google Slides<\/b>, allow you to incorporate animations in your slides. Powerpoint and Keynote allow you to record voice-over narrations (If you are able, use Keynote for this. The recorder is much simpler to use.). Presentations can then be exported as a video using Powerpoint or Keynote. You can also record a narration outside of Powerpoint or Keynote in the excellent, and free, Audacity audio recorder and then combine with the video using video editing software such as iMovie<\/b>, Windows Movie Maker<\/b>, or Adobe Premiere<\/b>. Alternately, perform and record your presentation \u2018live\u2019 using a screen capture program such as Screenflow<\/b>. Adobe Premiere and Screenflow are not free, but are available in the University\u2019s Digital Learning Lab<\/a> in the Lewis Science Library Building or in J. Street Library in Wilson College.<\/p>\n
