Audio Manipulation
Audacity is not my friend but mainly because I have used it without fully understanding HOW so I spend a lot of time being frustrated until I find a way, probably not the BEST WAY, but A way to do what I'm trying to do. I ALWAYS get confused as to what I am about to cut, the highlighted part or the other stuff and I definitely need to be SECLUDED before trying to do anything in audacity. I have edited, imported, recorded, and used limited effects but I am far from proficient.
Incompetech looks useful.

Table 1
Image Manipulation - Flickr Creative Commons - I could use an explanation of the symbols but I think Non-Commercial Licenses makes sense for pics I am free to use. VWB explained how to cite using ppt. or a word document. Probably need to hear this again because I know she was explaining more about linking back to the source but I lost focus. Now I find that I cannot add a ppt to this blog and am not sure whether that is because you CAN'T or my brain just isn't functioning in the August fog.
Tried to use fakemagazinecover. com from Library2Play pages but was BLOCKED by district as it is categorized as GAMES which we all know are harmful to student achievement:(
Tried several online image generators and none of them worked. If I had been sitting with a teacher, I would have lost them for good. If I had been sitting with students, they would have redecorated the library.
I finally, in the privacy and silence of my home, found one that worked for me.

Video Assignments - Teacher Tube took a LONG time to use in district today. Of course YOU TUBE is still blocked. My teacher tube practice is 2 posts below.
In trying to combine 2 clips from Discovery Education I ran into 2 problems. 1)I had a brain misfunction and forgot to right click on the correct icon to save the clip. Big DUH moment for me since I did that A MILLION times last year.
2) Movie maker kept popping up a box that wanted me to debug. SO, I was unsuccessful with this project though I know HOW to do it. I DO NOT KNOW how to handle the debug issue.
3) I also had a sound issue though I had sound for Photo Story a few minutes ago and I'm using the same headphones. Go figure. I will attempt it later, probably at home with a different computer, and a different wireless system so that everything works.

Table 3
When using Photo Story, not everyone remembered to
a) BROWSE and choose where to save your project and movie
b) You can ONLY post your movie which is a .wmv not a .wp3
c) When I was adding music, for the first time I was not on my 1st photo and I could not quickly find a way to either remove that music (I could change it or delete the entire photo) or get it to start from the beginning at the first photo. Time was an issue so I chose the easy option that meant the music would just start over at the last photo.
My Photo Story practice is 2 posts below because I did not understand the directions! I did make a powerpoint slide and save it as a jpeg for the 1st 'photo'.

Amelia Earhart
Continuing on my theme of Second grade historical people, here is a video from Teacher Tube of a student reporting on/as Amelia Earhart.
Photo Story Practice
Even librarians get assignments! I'm at a training and we are practicing a few things to do with students this year. Here is a photo story. Remember, this was a quick exercise not a complete project. This took less than 30 minutes. You can do it too!
