		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps you&#8217;re tired of the clip art you use in your presentations, or better yet, you feel energized about reducing the bullets, text and content on your slides and want to revamp your presentations and make them more focused and effective.  Perhaps you just want to spruce up your blog posts.  You need some good images.  You can easily find great ones on Google, but recall that you shouldn&#8217;t necessarily be using those without express permission from the owner.  What is one to do? This post covers where to go to find free, (copyright-free and royalty-free) images for use in our presentations and courses.  Ive included a list of sources for free images, and a couple for-pay sources. First off, Microsoft has clip art and images you can access quite handily from within Powerpoint (or Word or Excel).    I find images more effectively going directly to the Microsoft Office website using the IE web browser.  This image search engine is more powerful than what is built in to office 2007 though it draws from the same image collection. I created a quick tour below on how to do this (click here for full size video). Free Sites: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/images/ (see video [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Just a couple weeks ago, the U.S. Library of Congress released the policy paper outlining the much awaited expansion of exemptions to the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).  Bottom line, we can now legally* &#8220;rip&#8221; short clips from legally acquired, copyrighted DVDs for use in our classes, courses, presentations and digital publications.  Needless to say, I&#8217;m no lawyer, but for you that are, a key piece of the exemption reads as follows, with a fuller elaboration here: (1) Motion pictures on DVDs that are lawfully made and acquired and that are protected by the Content Scrambling System when circumvention is accomplished solely in order to accomplish the incorporation of short portions of motion pictures into new works for the purpose of criticism or comment, and where the person engaging in circumvention believes and has reasonable grounds for believing that circumvention is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the use in the following instances: (i)  Educational uses by college and university professors and by college and university film and media studies students; (ii) Documentary filmmaking; (iii) Noncommercial videos. I recently posted a &#8220;how-to&#8221; article on inserting YouTube videos into PowerPoint presentations, and this ruling allows us to similar things with [...]

		<description><![CDATA[We make a lot of presentations in our building. Most are used as part of our face-to-face classes, but increasingly, many of these end up online as well as the basis of online courses. Dale Roenigk, fearless discussion leader of our first event, has created a schedule for these sessions for the third Thursday of each month from 12-1pm.  This is not exclusively about Powerpoint. In fact, I hope there will be interest in a much broader discussion of good communication to improve teaching and learning in the school, along with the tools and strategies that can help us achieve that. In Dale&#8217;s words: You can use this as your lunch hour if you want or not. We’ll vary the topics based on interest and availability. I’ve requested Room 2321 as it is available for the next few months, but we may have to vary meeting space depending on classes. (We’ll shoot for the 2300 to 2400 block of rooms). So put these dates in your calendar if you are interested: Aug 19 Sep 16 Oct 21 Nov 18 Dec 16 All from 12 to 1pm. If you have ideas for sessions or are willing to volunteer to share something [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve received a number of requests about how to add YouTube videos to PowerPoint presentations.  TLS is happy to help you with this individually, but I&#8217;m shairng this YouTube video for those adventurous types who want to give this a shot on their own first. It&#8217;s not terribly complicated, but there are a few steps (let&#8217;s hope Microsoft makes it a 1-step process in their next version of Powerpoint). A couple important points worth noting: These instructions are for PowerPoint 2007 (what most of us still have installed as of July 2010) You will need to have Internet access where you are presenting! (this is very important, as the video is played from the YouTube website, and *not *from your hard drive) I&#8217;ve seen it behave a bit squirrely at times (no audio, or great audio, but choppy video), so test that it works before you present. (You&#8217;ll probably want to watch this full screen). If your desired video resides on Vimeo, slightly more complex instructions are available here (slides only, no audio/video). If you run into trouble, just contact TLS for assistance. -Joel Galbraith Possibly related posts:Live Question Tool Micro-lectures: A Cure for Content Bloat

		<description><![CDATA[Many of us recently enjoyed listening to David Cupp, professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.  Cupp worked in TV and Radio for over 25 years and teaches voice and diction (among other classes) at UNC. He instructed us on how to more naturally converse with our audiences when they&#8217;re not present and in view.    For example, it can feel very unnatural when we&#8217;re presenting in a live webinar and can&#8217;t see (feed off of) our audience.  It feels unnatural sitting in the sound booth, talking to no one&#8230;while recording narration for an elearning module that will be viewed by clients on-demand much later.  Cupp gave us some great techniques to feel more connected with our audiences who are separated from us by time and/or distance. His central theme: We all know how to talk with one another&#8211;we do it daily.  Following his techniques, we can regain some of the natural conversation feeling, we can feel (and sound) more connected with our audience, and communicate more clearly&#8230;(this is sounding like an infomercial&#8230;and if your order within the next 10 minutes&#8230;) I gotta say, I liked that he started with writing guidelines, because it all starts there!  For this [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned this nifty classroom question tool in an earlier post, but felt it needed it&#8217;s own post as it could be widely applied in our face-to-face and some online programs at the SOG. Live Question Tool is a web-based tool that lets clients at your presentation post questions for the speakers. As questions are posted, other class participants can submit comments and cast votes for the questions they hope to see answered first. It is hosted on Harvard University’s Berkman Center website, where it is freely available to anyone who wants to use it.  The presenter can address the questions during the session, wait for a Q&#38;A break, or start answering questions when clients return from lunch for example. It’s free, easy to use and can also be effectively used to level the question-submitting “playing field” for courses that mix both remote and local participants. Furthermore, it is a great (alternative?) use of laptops and other web-enabled devices in our SOG classrooms.  Eileen Y. recently pointed me to this article on classroom laptop use worth sharing that also mentions use of these tools in the live classroom. 5 Steps: Go to the Live Question Tool website. Create a new [...]

		<description><![CDATA[A couple weeks ago, construction was completed on the new multi-use, computer classroom in 1300, funded by the Knapp Foundation.  The 20-computer, 30-seat room is now ready and can be scheduled in CollegeNet.  The room has already accommodated multiple successful inaugural training sessions.  It has been thrilling to see people in the room anxiously engaged in learning new skills where just months ago the space served as a large, concrete storage closet&#8211;packed with the building&#8217;s odd and ends and surplus furniture&#8211;but no longer! ITD hosted two Outlook training sessions which were well-attended, and useful to those in attendance.  If you missed those, links to the edited archives will be available shortly.  In addition Dale Roenigk has also conducted a couple Microsoft Excel trainings in the room. I&#8217;m attaching excerpts of James Balfour&#8217;s original detailed room description below: The room is equipped with a fixed podium, computer, VCR/DVD player, document camera, and a connection for a laptop. A wall panel allows easy control of which device is sent to the projector. The room also has dimmable fluorescent lights controlled with a wall panel near the podium. Three round tables are also available at the rear of the room. The classroom supports software training for 20 students (i.e. Excel, [...]
