More Video - 8/20 LIS Meeting

I struggle with patience when TeacherTube is involved. It is soooooo slow within the district. When I finally get on, there's great stuff, but it's frustrational b/c of the time it takes to load, search, and play videos.

I love YouTube. I truly wish it were unblocked, but I do understand why it is unavailable. There's lots of crazy stuff on YouTube, much of it inappropriate for young eyes and ears. I am less familiar w/ Zamzar b/c I've never actually converted a YouTube to a Zamzar video, but I just played with it and converted a video which I will get later via email. :)

I have also made a MovieMaker file.

Here it is! Coolness! :)

Video Manipulation - 8/20 LIS Meeting

In this round, we played in Photo Story, which is a great free program that comes from Microsoft. Although it took a while to upload, here is my video that I created with pictures from my trip to Florida this summer.

I am so glad that it worked!!!

Audio Manipulation - 8/20 LIS Meeting

This was a bit more stressful than Image Manipulation b/c I have less familiarity, in general, with audio files and how to work with them.

I used audacity to record my voice, and then went to Incompetech and captured some royalty-free music. I then merged the 2 files and saved them as an mp3 file. As asked, I tried to upload the file to the Sandbox in our Wiki, but it didn't work. :)

Ah, well... good thing I wasn't in front of an entire class when this happened.

Good information here but not super successful.

What a fabuloso Professional Development day. This rules.

Here is my pic with words from power point.

Here is a different pic (God-daughters and Me) from Big Huge Labs after being manipulated in the Warholizer.
