Learning and Teaching Technologies
This week has been rather exciting. Learning about presentations and actually having an opportunity to experience a mock situation has been rather encouraging. I have enjoyed having the opportunity to explore resources out there that may be utilized to better serve patrons. I have enjoyed seeing how others have approached their projects. There were different templates used with different presentational styles that were notable. Our Wimba meeting occurred on Saturday and everyone managed to present their presentations rather effectively with very little interference. Screencasts, distance learing and course management systems are very practical subjects for library instruction. I am not terribly familiar with screencasts; yet this is an area that I will be discovering in my video project. I am presently working on exploring the editing of a video. I know how to shoot and upload. The trick will be to discover editig options. I have editing software; though, I am unfamiliar with it. So my time is being spent on how to upload and edit the frames for a video. I have Widows live movie maker. I think that I have figured out how to make it fade in and out. When I have completed this, I will place a post here and let everyone see how I have progressed.
Here is something that I found on You Tube. It uses Second Life.
