Library Inservice Follow-Up

I'm finally able to sit for a second to finish posting about the Library Inservice. I've been on the road taking my daughter back to college...hard to get internet service driving!
Anyway...I enjoyed taking the time to "play" with the web 2.0 tools again....I had done a lot over the summer, but putting things into practice was good.
Table 1 - Saving images from discovery learning - put into powerpoint and using image generators. II had to make new slide shows for KRCE...so I took photos from Discovery Learning and put the pledges. I had an error from the blog service trying to upload the video.....I need to call and find out what the problem is.
Table 2 - I was successful in using audacity - I had used it a lot last year. I added the sound track I created to my orientation lesson on Photostory...but hit a snag trying to upload the wmv file. I'll have to work on it. ....I'd love to be able to post my lessons for parents to see.
Table 3 - I used photostory for my library and computer lab orientation lessons. This way they will be on the shared folder and hopefully at one point I'll have them on a video podcast for new students to view....still working on that one. Again...I'm having a problem posting on the blog....I think the videos may be too big...when I have time I'll call and talk to tech services...they left me a "problem number" each time I tried to post.
Table 4 - A second part of my library orientation lesson is made up of clips from discovery education. This year I dumped the clips into movie maker. I made title clips and credits at the end so all I have to do is run the movie instead of stopping and starting...I would like to post...but again...I got an error.
Table 5 - Made an animoto to use as a "set" for my orientation lessons...hopefully it will get the children's attention. I have not attempted to post yet....but....I will.
I can't wait to show my teachers the Time Rime...I think they will enjoy it.

It has been fun...and yet a little frustrating wanting to get it all done...but patience will get me through....I did find that the animotos I tried to do on Wednesday went through real fast on Sunday evening...it's all about the time!

Library Inservice

Just completed trying to do image manipulation. I think this would be good for kids to try as an activity in the lab in the first weeks of school to help their classmates learn information about each other.
