Cyber Camper Video!!

I wanted everyone to see this awesome video made at our Cyber Camp today. Emily used the flip camera to make her very own video of her school, also where the C@P Site is. She did everything herself, including picking out the music. Enjoy!!

This was the first week of Cyber Camp at Boularderie. The first week's theme was internet safety. So we got the kids to make a happy,sad or angry mask during craft time,and after they were finished we done a short little play with all the kids. So here is my first entry and first ever time using windows movie maker. Enjoy the clip.

Flip Cam Video

Hello Everyone, Here is my first complete video using the HD Flip Camera! It is a little peek into what I see when I come to work everyday..Enjoy!

C@P Day in Victoria County!

Everyone had great plans for their C@P Days. It was not a nice day so we did not really get the turn outs we had hoped for, but that is alright. Great job to everyone and this is the update I received from everyone!

BAY ST.LAWRENCE
On C@P Day in Bay St. Lawrence, the library was holding an event on the same day so I took advantage of the kids being present. We did games and activities outside, there was cake served to the kids as well as some prizes. Then I took the kids inside the C@P site, and had them play some games on the computer. I showed them some new websites to play games on and let a couple of them make Facebook accounts, with permission from their parents. They had lots of fun and most spent the day hanging around the Site!

BOULARDERIE
C@P day was celebrated at our Cyber Camp at Boularderie on July 14th. We played a game on internet safety (badguypatrol.ca) and we did the blowing in the wind craft. We also took advantage of our new Flip cameras by making videos of the kids running around the gym using their wind crafts.

IONA
At our C@P DAY we had a great time with all the kids, even though not many showed up. They all came at around 12:00 and at that time they made paper bag animal puppets! They did a very good job and they had a great time doing it! After that we made them ice-cream sundaes, they loved that! We used the gym in the school for fun and games because the weather was not cooperating. When they got tired we made play-dough then we had a contest to see who could make the best sculpture, they all won and received prizes.

Mosaic Summer Project

Do not be stressed about the Summer Mosaic Project, it is meant to be fun and to help build your skills with the camera and video editing software. It will be awesome to see everyone's video at the end of your filming and editing. In the Helpful Links page there are some useful websites for creating videos and mosaics I would like to invite you to take a look at them and maybe it will spark some inspiration! The finished project will be awesome! Good Luck .

Deadline for Mosaics to me is August 15th.

How to post a youtube video on blogger

I thought it was a good idea since I have been adding all these videos to the blog to show you a video on how to get a youtube video on your blogger blog. This video taught me how to do it. There was a little change since this video was made, when you see a youtube you like you have click SHARE then follow the steps shown in the video!

Audacity

Hey All,

Depending on what types of videos you plan on creating using your HD Flip Cameras, you may choose to record your audio separately and overlay it on your video. If so, you will definitely want to checkout Audacity! Audacity is an open source (free) audio editing program. It is a very simple program and easy to learn, but it also has many advanced features. You can download Audacity at: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Here is a great tutorial for beginners getting to know Audacity:


Also, if you're interested in pod casting, Audacity is the program for you!
