Thing 4 - Communicating Visually

 

   Attached is a video of my library.
   I uploaded six photos of my library to the Quik app on my mobile phone. Quik took over and very soon after I had a video! It was possible to edit the video. I added the title My library and added captions to each of the 6 photos. I chose the theme Bold which was catchy and funky, this gave the video its "look". For music I chose Soul-surfing. I chose Outro off, getting rid of the App's own branded slide.
   I uploaded the video to my laptop and it played fine. Have uploaded the same video to my blog and there is nothing happening. The video may play when I publish the blog?
   There are limited functions on the Quik App, an advantage of this is ease of use. When I use programmes eg. Screencastomatic, Infographics there are a big choice of functions. The down side to this is it takes longer to get a handle on the programme.

What amazing colours and design!   To find out more about Peacocks check out the  The National Geographic   To extend the Peacock theme I created a Gallery in my Flickr account, with the title Wildlife.

I uploaded images from the Library Archives to the Album. To view click the following:  Library Archives, sample    The image and links above are succinct. However it took trial and error to get the image set up, accredit it using Creative Commons, link to the National Geographic, then to create a Gallery and an album in Flickr. The R23 post was clear and a good introduction to Images however I still had to google How to create a gallery in Flickr to ...

Thing 5 - Video Presentations

   Attached is a video I created using screencastomatic.com    The subject of the video is How to book a flight. The video is aimed at library patrons.    The video is 2mins. in duration. It includes choosing departure and arrival destinations, dates and times. The video ends before I enter my personal details.    I talked on the video, explaining what I was doing. However when I replayed the video it was difficult to hear my voice even at maximum volume. I adjusted the microphone settings on my laptop and created more videos. The speaking volume remained low in all the videos. I reckon the microphone on my laptop was not working properly or else I did not adjust the microphone settings correctly.    Cookies are still turned-on on my video. I thought I had turned the Cookies off though when I watch the video again it looks as though this did not happen. Weeks after making ...
