To display my understanding of Muslim perspectives towards the crusades, I decided to use xtranormal.com. I had never used this site before, but the idea of an animated conversation seemed funny and captivating to me. I initially tried to use Glogster, but it was too much of a hassle to edit text boxes and format things. Judging from other peoples' blogs I was not the only one who encountered this problem. Xtranormal worked very well and came out exactly as I envisioned it. The only negative about it was the voices, which are very robot sounding. The other accents offered were impossible to understand so I had to settle for what was comprehensive to a human not a computer. If I had to do this again, I might purchase a microphone to speak through my characters. This would add another interesting element to my presentation and I am good with accents. Overall this project went extremely well and was not nearly as stressful as it looked on paper. I could have collaborated in a group, but I decided I wanted to do this one my way and I am glad I did.
