This is the video of the presentation for the conference given by the Scholastic Media Association at MIT. The name of the conference was "Media Literacy and the Power of One"

Here is a test of a Scholastic Media student video done using iTV-Studio. I think it will end up in iTunes.

The Grassoots Use Of Technology Conference will be held October 16 & 17 at Northeastern University. Here is a clip from the workshop we conducted at a previous GUT-C X Conference.

GUT-C X is looking forward to a diverse turnout from immigrants,

communities of color, labor organizations, and peace movement groups

and will also act as a platform for regional work on the Detroit 2010

US Social Forum!

Conference highlights will include a keynote address, "Connecting the

Disconnected," by Professor Richard O'Bryant (Northeastern University)

and a lunchtime dialogue between techies and organizers coordinated by

smartMEME. The primary conference organizers are the Organizers'

Collaborative, the John O'Bryant African American Institute, Boston

Neighborhood Network TV, the National Writers Union, and Massachusetts

Global Action.

The 10th Annual Grassroots Use of Technology Conference (GUT-C X)

takes place in just under 4 weeks!

GUT-C X brings together hundreds of grassroots and social change

organizers with media activists, writers, and techies from all over

New England. This year, we have an array of workshops that focus on

social media and organizing work --geared towards both beginners and

experts. Topics branch out into: creating websites, building rapid

response networks, using databases and e-mail lists, fundraising and

"micro" donations, community art, virtual worlds, and more. Rather

than offering a blind "techno-lust," the conference engages in

levelheaded thinking about using the latest technologies towards the

strategic objectives of an organization for both problem solving and

empowerment. Organized in tandem with the National Writers Union's

Digital Media Conference, it will feature programming that looks at

the implications of digital tech for content creation.

More news on the conference tomorrow!

Here is the second installment

It appears that ITunes does not grab old posts so in trying to put the videos on my IPod I need to repost. I also have noted the importance of the post title block for the ITunes episode.

We have made a lot of changes in 2009 wit our media delivery. I will now repost a video to see how things generate in ITunes. Will it make a duplicate? Will this episode now automatically be downloaded to my library and psynch to my IPod.

Here is a video of Jesse Jackson we did last month. Although it will play in a browser it should be played in quicktime player in order to be viewed properly. We are trying to understand why this is. This particular version was compressed using "Compressor". We are also anxious to see if ITunes picks this up since the file extension is .mov and not .m4v

You should be able to use full screen mode as long as you use quictime player. My initial test of the Compressor file indicates that ITunes did not pick it up. I am now going to add a table and put a different file type alongside. Its the same video just a different type. Lets see if ITunes pick it up.

Well that worked. ITunes picked it up right away. This means that part of the process needs to be to use FCP's IPod export as well as simple save and IPod in quicktime.

This is just a test

Here is the first test show. Its the embed from the host

Here is our version from Camtasia running on our server. It appears we would need to learn how to capture flash if thats even possible.

Here is the IPod version.
