Project Overview
 For my final multimedia project, I decided to create a PSA about the potential dangers of social networking and how to protect personal information online. The video was created with iMovie and contains copyright free music and voice narration over images of relevant news stories pertaining to the downside of social networking with data on the usage of popular social networking sites and tips on how to safely use these sites. This PSA is directed at people of all ages who use social networking sites, but most importantly young people who may be unaware of how to protect their personal information and safely use these sites.

 Please view the outline, flowchart, and storyboard by clicking the links at the top of this page to see the design phases of the project. Also, take a look at some of the articles included in the links below and take the ACLU Facebook Quiz to see how much you know about protecting your personal information on social networking sites.
