Technology Sunday

As I wrap up my blog for this week, today I made a couple small changes to my Reading Buddies video. I changed some text and I gave it a new title, as I didn't realize youtube just used the file name as a default. This was a new learning experience for me and I think I will use youtube again in the future to upload things. (I have used it as a viewer several times.)

Reading Buddies Video

Technology Friday

This morning I finished my video project. It's a reading program promotion video for a "Reading Buddies" program at a library. Although my Windows 2010 has given me some problems in the past (I am not so familliar with it) for this application it is great because you can convert your video directly to youtube. That was the easy part! :- ) I think I would use this application again, because it is so easy to upload to youtube, Facebook, etc.

Video Project- Reading Buddies

The fun of Dewey Decimal

In my cataloging class I am learning about the Dewey Decimal system. There is really a lot of underlying information besides your basic 000, 100, 200, 300...etc. I am going to start my first Dewey assignment today, I am hoping it will go well.

Technology Thursday

Today I met with Elaine and she helped answer a few questions about my video project. I successfully added music to my video project, and found out how to trim and split video. This project has gone more smoothly that I expected so I am very happy!

I stayed in the library after class today and worked on my blog. I was able to reduce the visual size (not the file, just the image) of my Flamingo PPT to video by going back to youtube and resizing. Pretty simple once I had some help doing it!

Thank you to all who answered the question about putting Shelfari up on the blog. Another classmate had asked it, but I was wanting to ask the same question. I now know what a widget is and my Shelfari bookshelf is up on the blog. Check out what I have read!
