Am I a Curious Person?

Am I a curious person? I like to believe I am. I love learning, and I dislike not knowing what people are talking about. For that reason, Project Play was great! While I'd heard of everything that was taught, there were several things I'd never tried, and a few things I just didn't understand. I look forward to constantly learning more, playing more, and fearing less of the world around me!

Mashups

I guess I don't get it yet....I don't think I'm web savvy enough! Perhaps if the library were to map out locations in the county, or map out school locations in a city so it would be easy to see them all?

YouTube

I'm a fan of Youtube. I especially enjoy looking at music videos posted there. I have a couple Youtube videos posted on my other blog, choices-ellen-librarian.blogspot.com. The Andrea Bocelli is a huge favorite.

Screencasting

I've been meaning to try making a screencast of how to use Tumblebooks, but I keep forgetting to do it from home where I would need to put in a library card number. So, I'll make up this post. I like the screencasts that have been created by our library's webmaster. Very helpful. I think that we could use screencasts to show how to use databases, and I'd like to try doing that one of these days.

Gabcast

I tried adding a post to the Project Play account on Gabcast, reading from Beth's email. It is quite simple to post. I understood my post quite well when I went to the Project Play account, but I couldn't hear any of the other posters, and that is with the speakers turned all the way up. Must be my computer. I think I still prefer Audacity, which lets me do a whole lot of editing, add sound effects, and create podcasts which are extremely long. I think that Audacity would be my preference in the library, although the library would most likely have to pay for an account in Podbean unless I was able to save my podcasts on the library server.

Another attempt at using Audacity and Podbean

In this podcast, I used Audacity to record an echo song. I sing the first part as well as the echo. I did this by creating two podcasts which I then merged into one.
