[|the fall of Rome] media type="custom" key="802265" (*wink wink* i touched aidans banner =D) angel was here I-search =media type="custom" key="564781"= = = Benefits and drawbacks of various multimedia:

Video: Some benefits of a video is it would probably be the most direct way to connect with any audience because it is more direct and life like. The problem however is it would be hard to express ancient Rome through a video because it was such a long time ago there is nothing living from back then that I could show with my topic.

Voice thread: Some benefits of a voice thread are that its my voice out there so I can express my ideas thoroughly and say what happened. also i can get maps of major battles and indicate them with the marker thing thats built in and circle and make arrows of important movements and strategies. some drawbacks are that its hard to control the little marker so it can get sloppy and the voice may not come out clear. also I don't have much experience with voice threads so it may take longer to do.

Power point: Some benefits here are that I can gather a bunch of pictures of different reasons for why Rome fell from power from the internet and add my voice to it and start talking about each picture that was used. I also have more experience with power points which may make it easier to do. Some drawbacks could be that the pictures that I get could be inaccurate. also it would be hard to time how long it runs on.

Requirements for my topic: Constraints for my topic:
 * Get as many pictures that represent my topic.
 * Make sure it is at least 2 and a half minutes long.
 * Talk briefly about subject.
 * Add important events and interesting parts of my topic.
 * Get a map on my power point to show where Rome is and how it expanded.
 * Get the audience informed and educated on the topic.
 * Don't get too in to dept with one single thing.
 * Don't write too much if anything on my power point.
 * Try not to exceed 3 minutes.
 * Try not to talk about all of Rome and just its fall.

My logical order of steps for multimedia:
