So it is around 2am our here in North Vir­ginia. I have spent the bet­ter part of the entire day find­ing, buy­ing and installing Adobe Pre­mier Ele­ments, Adobe Pho­to­shop Ele­ments, SnagIt, and Apple’s iBook Author on the new iMac. Some new cables came in from Monoprice.com, so I was able to con­nect the AG-DVC20P Pana­sonic cam­era to some type of new Firewire con­nec­tion on the back of the com­puter. Long story short here is one of the new videos. In gen­eral I am happy with how it came out. Used a green screen (with some mask­ing) bought a back­ground from Shut­ter­stock, and I think it looks pretty good. I will be using the video on the web­site mrfordsclass.net as well as embed­ding it into the iBook I am work­ing on.

Adding a Google Calander to my Anatomy and Physiology Class

I am gear­ing up for another semes­ter of teach­ing Anatomy and Phys­i­ol­ogy for NOVA (North Vir­ginia Com­mu­nity Col­lege). This semes­ter I am adding a pub­lic Google cal­en­dar to the mix. In the past my test sched­ule got a lit­tle con­fus­ing, I let the tempo of the class deter­mine test days, and not the other way around. With this lit­tle appli­ca­tion all stu­dents can get on the same page.
