2. What do you know about imovie? What other multimedia possibilities have you considered for your presentation?
I know quite a bit about imovie as Mr Hays gave a tutorial to the students of 9.1 and 9.2 about using imovie. I know how to cut and edit clips, put in headings and subtitles, add images, movies and music, and add transitions and fades and different effects. Our group has come with two ideas and that was to film ourselves out in the bush whilst walking in the nature scene talking about our topic or our other idea is to film in blue screen in the filming room and then add in our own backdrop of our choice.
The term interactive tv is where any type of media that allows the user to interact or control or select and choose using a remote or whatever device that allows the user to do this. For example. the video game Wii lets the gamer instead of using a game controller, you can use a remote that characterizes the object of a cricket bat, a tennis racket and a bowling hand. Also another example like Foxtel Digital lets the viewer choose from a variety of categories of what they want to watch, lets the viewer put programs on record, on pause, on rewind, fast forward and also lets them buy movies from the box office movie selection.
2.) Explain the reasons why interactive TV is now called TV 2.0.
I think that the reason why interactive TV is now called TV 2.0 because TV started as turning knobs to switch channels and didnt let you interact with the tv as you do now. Then i think TV1.0 happened and had a remote for you to switch channels and you had to remember numbers that were your tv channels. Then now TV2.0 is where you control the action. You choose whether you want to watch this or that and when you want to watch it. Now they have the latest movie selection downloads for you to choose from and you can view and select whenever you want.
3.) Outline the positives and negatives of implementing interactive TV.
Some positives that interactive TV supplies is for one, the viewer can choose, watch and plan to watch movies, music and games anytime and everytime. Interactive TV allows viewers to interact with the TV by having a device such as a remote, to navigate the controls of the TV. Interactive TV is a newer and improved version of the normal television. It is quite interesting as to how you can just download movies from your TV connected to your phone internet and then watch it from your boxtop in HD on your new plasma.
4.) Apple released recently Apple TV – Take 2. Describe the reasons why it needed to be changed.
The reasons why Apple TV needed to be changed and be re-created to the new Apple TV- Take 2 was because the creators of MAC came up with an idea of Apple TV which was designed to be an accessory for Itunes and your computer. The producers learned to find out that the viewers and customers really all they wanted was movies, movies,movies, but they weren’t giving that to them. So now they have remade Apple TV-TAKE 2 and it syncs with your computer but it is not required. Now you can rent movies straight from your TV. View audio and video podcasts from your Apple TV also you can view images from websites. And you can watch videos from Youtube and buy music from your internet and sync music from your computer to your HD TV.
1.) Give a brief description of who the Dalai Lama is? (Include resources to support
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, TenzinCourse: CSTIST 2 – “Morality, Justice and Peace” Gyatso, is both the head of state and the spiritual leader of Tibet. He was born on 6 July 1935, to a farming family, in a small hamlet located in Taktser, Amdo, northeastern Tibet. At the age of two the child, who was named Lhamo Dhondup at that time was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso. The Dalai Lamas are believed to be manifestations of Avalokiteshvara or Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion and patron saint of Tibet. Bodhisattvas are enlightened beings who have postponed their own nirvana and chosen to take rebirth in order to serve humanity.

2.) Evaluate how the actions of the Dalai Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity.
The actions of the Dalai Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity because he knows his morals and the difference between right and wrong and that is what he is doing. He left from his pilgrimage to come and speak to the people of Tibet and also to the monks and had spoken out to the public to ask for the riots to stop. And for the people to stop what they are doing. And for the government to make peace with people. He is acknowledging his morals and sticking by them. But on the other hand other people think that he is the one that started the riots and should be in exile.
