Today, I finalized the three crusades I plan on focusing on, the first, third, and fourth. I found two sources for the last two using bing.com (http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/the-third-crusade.htm and http://www.historynet.com/fourth-crusade.htm). I also finalized my presentation format, using Xtranormal.com. Tomorrow is for the actual publishing of the video.

Dear Allie,
I found a website that has some cool primary sources regarding the First Crusade. (http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/fulcher-cde.asp) I thought that this was a trustworthy source, and I think that it could be helpful to you also. If you look around their website, I'm sure that they have information about the other crusades as well.
Dear Sharleen,
I found some primary sources about the First Crusade showing its bloody, gory nature that would probably be useful for you.(http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/fulcher-cde.asp). Check it out, I'm planning on using it myself.
Hey Harsh,
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of creating a video using Xtranormal. That should work really well in depicting the feelings of the Muslims during the Crusades. just make sure to make the commentary interesting so it does not feel like it's dragging on. It appears you have good, solid information so it should come out well.

Hi Hersh,
ReplyDeleteI've thought of doing a Xtranormal video, but I decided that it might be a bit too complex judging from the interface (too many choices and buttons). Do you feel the same way or do you think I should give Xtranormal a shot next time?
Thanks Mark. To address your concerns Xin, I found the interface to be very easy to understand. If you play around with the program, you'll get used to how to use it, and I find it too be a very effective way of communicating. The only thing is that it is pay-per-use, but you can get by for one project with the credits they give you for free. (Or just make multiple accounts).
