iMovie Trailer Music

4/25/2013

Have you ever wanted to use that sound file that comes with iMovie Trailers?

It is not in your iLife library.
iMovie won't let you detach it from the trailer.

Here is your answer from John Cogdell of Adelaide Australia. Apple Support Community
"All the elements for Trailers, including music, are located in iMovie's package contents. In Finder, go to Applications>iMovie.app. Right-click (or Control-click) on iMovie.app and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. Click on Contents then Resources. In the Resources folder you will find all the soundtracks."

Find the soundtrack you want. It could be named something like "SoundTrack-Spy.m4a". Drag that to your Desktop, and then into iTunes. From there you will be able to see it in iMovie in your iTunes music files. It is now a stand alone audio file and you can use it, edit it etc. all you want.

I used this hot bit of information to help Altara BLT team create a tribute movie for Scott Jameson (their principal who is leaving). We collected old videos, green screen footage, stills and new footage and put it all together. Truthfully, we used the same music over so many times it is a little monotonous. I'm going to change that when I get a minute. Here it is!

Explain Everything and Rio Mesa CMap Project

12/13/2012

UEA weekend: Imagine camping off the beaten path at the rustic (no showers) and very beautiful Rio Mesa Center created by the University of Utah - near Moab, Utah. Rio Mesa is dedicated to enhancing the teaching experience of K-12 educators. (The new center facilities - with showers - should be open next year.) The weather was clear and cold and warm. It was 30 degrees at night and 85 in the day! Educators from across the state met here to study ants! We learned how to integrate GPS devices, data collection in Excel spreadsheets, pictures in drop box and bring it all together on one map in ArcGIS online. Sweet! The project was lead by Pat Lambrose and more information can be found online at the Cmapk12.wikispace. Check out our finished product! Click on the interactive map below to see the detailed data and even find pictures of individual ant colonies.

So this brings me to the second part of what I learned. I took my iPad and gave a quick explanation using Explain Everything. This app is an easy-to-use design tool that lets you annotate, animate, and narrate explanations. What I love about it is this: you could hand your iPad to a student and ask them to explain a math problem, a language arts concept, a science theory or experiment. You name it, kids can demonstrate their mastery beautifully and creatively. You can share it in so many ways. Project it to the class on your Apple TV or share it on YouTube, in an e-mail, in dropbox, or Evernote. Is there a better way to demonstrate mastery than teaching someone else all about it? Try it with your students! Colleen Bliss

The "Googol" of Google

6/7/2012

So a "googol" is the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Have you ever wondered how many Google searches are happening out their in the techno sphere? Where did they originate? What is the language of the internet? Google has created an interesting graphic to illustrate this.

Click on this link and check out the activity. Spin the globe.

Here are some questions that come to mind: What do the colors mean? Why so few searches in China, North Korea and Africa? What else could you learn from this graphic? Enjoy!
