Elluminate Part II

Second Elluminate Session:
Today will be my second attempt at the Elluminate session. I do like the 6:30pm meeting time a little more as it may give me time to eat dinner first. I believe I have my presentation topic ready and will try to get an approval for it this evening – as long as Elluminate does not crash…if it does not I have three major questions to ask:
1. Can I do my project on preparing for science fair using your public library.
2. Can I use music throughout the length of the ten slides – I found a great science song on emusic for elementary age children.
3. Should I gear this toward Martin County Library System or general public libraries?

Elluminate Part II Result:
Looks like I am going to try and gear my presentation towards something I can use at work. I will pitch the idea to my co-workers and boss to see if they could use the a science fair tutorial in their branches. I don't think I will be using the music I found only because of copyright issues and this presentation will be going online. So, my questions were answered and I feel more confident about my topic choice and hopefully I can use it at work.

In addition, we will be working on podcasting and a publication next. I am really excited about the idea of recording audio and being able to share it through technology - I might be able to use this for storytime or something else work related. Looks like we will be able to use FREE technology through Audacity as mp3 format and possibly even VODCASTING.

Furthermore, if all goes as planned with Audacity, you can save audio in an mp3 format by downloading the software and saving the mp3 as a project file. Then export it as an mp3 file and add the music to the audacity project. It also looks like vodcasting can be done through Picasa, Photostory, Imagemaker, and/or Jing (only a five minute tutorial).

This class gets cooler each session!
