Newly published

Thanks to PaperTigers, I’m a newly published author/reviewer!  Our school is looking at the Indian holiday of Diwali, so I put some my background work together for this piece on books related to Diwali for children from age 5-10.

Internet Librarian 2007: the wiki

FYI for now and the future: the Internet Librarian wiki

IL 2007

Here at Internet Librarian 2007 in Monterey–woo hoo!

We’re learning about some technologies used for podcasting and videoblogging with tools like Audacity (for audio) and creating video as well.  It should be on BlipTv once we’re finished. Some tools we’re using for video include Photobooth (in Leopard) , iMovie, to do the editing.
Uploading video requires some time on slower computers, but basically capturing the video from DV takes a longer time to upload than sliding in a card
I think I’ll try a podcast tonight to see if I can post it here from practice..

StoryCorps

If you want me to tear up, just get me to listen to NPR’s StoryCorps in the morning. The story of an actor coping with and learning to appreciate his stutter, a woman in Utah helping a POW from World War II, and a story on friendship. Housed at the Library of Congress, this project seems to be a merger of A Prairie Home Companion, Studs Terkel, and Raymond Chandler stories. Subscribe to their podcast via iTunes or listen online and be sure to have a tissue box to help you with the beauty.

You can even make your own entry to submit!

3 Questions

From Jenny’s blog, this is a great idea–ask me three questions in comments as long as I can ask you three questions. I’m new to memes , but this seems like one.
