Week 13: Slide Sharing

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

This week I used Animoto, to create a slideshow (with music) of some pictures I took this winter. I think I could have lots of fun with this, mainly outside of work. Though, I think I will make a video at the end of our summer reading this year. That would be a great way to make viewing several pictures more fun and interesting for the viewer. I'm not sure how much use the library has for this, but I could probably use it a couple times a year for special events.

I also signed our library up for the "Snapshot Kansas" program next week. We are going to do this on Wednesday, April 14th. I'll be sure to post the finished product :)

Week 12: Screencasting

I did a screencast of how to log-in to Iluminar for the Burlington Branch Library. I didn't find it too difficult. I did find using Iluminar to be a little tricky though. I kind of stumbled in the middle of my video, so I would have to re-do it if I were to use for the library.

I love the idea of this. I think this would be an excellent tool for the library. I am considering creating a library youtube account and uploading various screencasts of library-related "How-To's" and sharing the link on our webpage or at least or facebook page. So cool! I think our patrons would greatly appreciate it and it would save them having to call for us to walk them through the process. This is the second best thing to having them in the room with you, which is not always a possibility for a lot of our patrons, many who are homebound. Great lesson 23 Things!

Week 11: Break

Yay! So glad for that break. It was much needed and allowed us "procrastinators" to get caught up :)Thank You!
