Derby Libraries - Arts and Crafts (short video)

Thing #17 - Find a video to watch that relates to libraries

I was able to transfer this video on my blog by doing "share" on the video. 

Multimedia - Week 7

Multimedia; now this is something totally new for me.  I've seen video on youtube, but only viewed the videos and never inserted it somewhere.

THING #16 – Embed a YouTube video in your blog

I decided to check out New York Library and found "Flyiing a drone around the NY Library".  Since I've never been in New York, the next best thing to visit is by viewing little videos.

Thing #17 - Find a video to watch that relates to libraries

I checked the DIY Professional Development site and inquired on libraries.  I found a short video showing Arts and Craft and the Debry Library.  Basically this is a group of people who meets regularly to look at other's people work i.e. knitting, crochet or painting.  This has now become a social group and have fun creating different types of art that they put on display.

Image, Part 2 - PINTEREST

Pinterest is a tool that I had once tried, but I didn't use it that much.

I created another account and started fresh. 

I created a couple boards and will be adding more to it as I keep searching. I found a couple accounts to follow. 

When I checked "What NYPL is Reading", I found that this is one that I would follow regularly. 

I'm glad that we are asked to learn these tools.  I'm learning and using some of them regularly i.e. Twitter and I know I will now use Pinterest more.

Images, Part 1

Wow, This week seems at bit confusing but here goes nothing.

I know that some artists allows people to use their picture at a cost because my son once paid a fee in order to use a picture that he wanted to attach to a file.

I also know that some pictures are free for people to use but when I was reading through the material, I realized that we still need to mention "Image by _whomever____" .

1) I decided to check morguefile.com to attach an image.  A cute little bunny.




By leele     This picture was created 4 years, 3 months, 10 days ago.

2) Now playing with Image Generator.  This was fun, making little images.

 3) Wordle image generator to create a word cloud.  It's fun to create, but I had trouble transferring it to my blog.  I had to copy it to Paint, then save it as a jpg and then transfer to the blog.  I'm learning new stuff (of course with the help of my co-workers).
