I'd like to thank the Academy

Catching up...
I IM'd via my gmail accounts and made this piece of silliness using a video already on my camera and iMovie. (I'd never used iMovie before. Can you tell?)
I was going to figure out how to remove the original sound, but I think leaving it in adds to the silliness. It's here exclusively. Ta-da!

week 10 - video sharing (pt 1)

I love the idea of a screencast on library catalog use! I should explore the possibilities of this, now that I've had so much practice with the live show. :)

For this week's thing, I took the suggestion of finding a video on YouTube about my favorite hobby very seriously. For a few days after we sprung ahead, my favorite hobby was sleep! I watched several videos of animals falling asleep and came across something much better - a cute animal, a silly video, and dance music all in one (all of which I find very helpful in waking up!)

I intend to complete/post part two (and last week's thing, IM) in the very near future. Happy almost-Spring!

week 8 - cloud computing

Getting started with this week's activity was a bit of a challenge. To come up with something from scratch, using the cloud intentionally, left me stumped. I ended up joining a few other collaborations: one a slideshow (fun with co-workers) and one a poetry project (cut-up tweets), both using Google Docs. This was fun.

I have only revisited Twitter and Delicious occasionally in the past few weeks, and I've all but forgotten Buzz (never set up a full Google profile anyway; currently doubt I will.) However, I've spent a little more time playing with other Google features - i.e. adding and deleting feeds; using docs.
