Where the CEU Meets the Job that Requires It

Well, as I kind of expected, when school started in mid-July, the time I had been spending on this Technology Challenge quickly dried up in the face of actually running the library. Fortunately I remembered it before the completion deadline though, so I am going to slide these last two items in under the wire, to get that all-important CEU credit.

Challenge 4 was to (a) share the product of Challenge 3, which I already mentioned in the July 8 post, and (b) use Creative Commons licensed images in an online presentation. So I used SlideRocket to create a book trailer for Grace Lin's Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, with video clips I created on my own iMac with iMovie. Except for the book cover illustration, the other images were all gleaned via the CC-enabled Flickr search. Since some of the CC licensed images required attribution, and the end credits go by pretty quick, those details (including links to the Flickr photostreams) are listed below the presentation. Obviously the book cover itself is not CC licensed, but I decided to use it anyway based on my own understanding of Fair Use provisions, which mostly coincides with the explanation of Dr. Mark Geary (College of Education at Dakota State University). I am posting the trailer video below but, if the author or publisher happens to come across it, and asks me to remove it, I will of course comply.
