Video Added

Posted by Daniel on May 28th 2006 to Blog Announcements, PI, Spring 2006



In keeping with the portfolio aspect of this blog, I’ve added a video of my students and one of their projects. You can find it under Presentations on the right side of the screen.

Foundation One English students were required to research an object from everyday life and explain what contributions different fields of engineering make to its production. Part of this project is putting together a poster and explaining its content to their peers in an exhibition.

Technical Notes:
The  video is formatted to be smaller than 5 MBs so I can host it from my free Geocities account. Consequently, it’s very low res.

I used XP’s movie maker.

I used about 2 minutes of a song by Rush without permission. (I’m ready to take it down when ordered. :) )

That’s pretty much it.
Enjoy.

    Why not keep the file size a little larger and use youtube or some other video host?

    Also am curious about why you keep posting on two blogs with the exact same content. Doesn’t that result in some people leaving comments on one but not the other and diluting the ability of your readers to interact?

    I haven’t taken the time to look into You Tube but it’s
    worth considering.

    Two blogs…well…that’s a bit of an explanation…too. You’re probably right about it diluting the ability of readers to interact. It’s hard to say since I don’t have a clear idea of what my readership is.

    Which one do you think is more appealing as a reader/commenter?

    I like this one because my comments are destroyed – your other blog eats them and considers me a spammer.

    yeah emily, this happened b/c i was trying to put up a
    new version w/higer resolution…it didn’t work so i just put the first version back. it’s low-res but i don’t suppose that it just has to be really high quality.
