Welcome to our "Putting the You in 'YouTube'" wiki

Thanks again for the warm welcome last week. Some of you expressed a desire for smaller, "hands on" workshops. I love doing that kind of thing and will talk to Christina and the RLA CE folks about how we might be able to make that happen. I'm also talking to my library about avenues for funding a "mobile learning lab" - maybe we can take video production instruction on the road!

NEW! Watch our Camera Comparison test on YouTube (click this link).

I used: iMovie to edit, I exported to a "Full Quality" QuickTime movie of 38.4 MB, I added annotations using YouTube's annotation editor and created the link above using the "hack" for High Quality video.
