 * Lab #1

Here is what was written in the Technology Ideas page:

Podcasting Marc, SrNoble

Audio dropboxes The Rich Internet Applications at CLEAR are definitely worth looking at. One of them is for audio dropboxes. There are also free online video editors that are quite good. QuicktimePro is also cheaper than Apple or Windows options. It's not nearly as complicated, but limited for those who have experience as video editors. (Marc)

Using Youtube/Youtube alternatives in classroom. Paulino (I can bring my video cameras -yes, i have more than one- and if computers have simple video software -imovie or windows movie maker- i can teach (or help) how to make short simple videos and upload them)

Paulino--I was nervous for a second, but I just checked to see if we have Windows Movie Maker, and I just found it. I believe that the lab computers have the same installation as office computers, and as far as software, I think we're all pretty standard. (Start button, All programs, Accessories) (Carrie)

Podcasting. I can definitely do this, too, if you think there is still interest. This would take maybe 60 minutes. (Marc)

I would like to add the Twitter/Cellphones to this track. Thus we would have something like:

__**Audio (45 mins.):**__ Twitter/Cellphones Podcasting/iTunes

__**Video (45 mins.):**__ Youtube/Youtube Alternatives Using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker Maybe even talk about using the Flip video cameras. (I am hoping to get a couple also through a grant I wrote).

I am most interested in the Audio part. It seems like Paulino is more into the video part.

**How about you Julio?

Do we want to present every item each time? Or do we want to do Twitter/Youtube once and then Podcasting/iMovie for the next... or something like that? Carrie?**

Feel free to mix it up as you like. Especially when we move people around a little, it will be a little different flavor. I've got no problem with that. You may want to mention whatever you're not able to cover in the other session in case there are people who want more information. You can share weblinks, etc. to at least show them what is available. (Carrie)
