Podcasting Made Easy - the Apple Way with Barry Adams
Come and enjoy this fast-paced session where we'll explore the ever expanding field of podcasting. You'll see how simple it can be to construct digital media elements that your students will appreciate and use. We'll begin with simple audio capture and then find ways to incorporate pictures, sounds, movies, PDF's, PowerPoint slides and much more. Near the end of our time together we'll examine how other colleges. universities and K-12 schools are using podcasts in large scale applications like iTunes U.
(1) Workshop: Lighting for Video
In this workshop questions & interactions are encouraged! We will experiment with arrangements of lighting, color temperature and white balance to see first hand the affect these have on our video shots. We will monitor these changes on a large screen TV and have instantaneous feedback. But first we will go over some of the basics of lighting for video, these include: Different light temperatures, and how to recognize them; how to shoot in mixed light temperatures, (this can cause strange skin tones); interview lighting setup & camera placement; lighting a large space & shooting with available light; white balancing & using color balance cards; shooting outdoors.
(2) Final Cut Pro 6: Multi Camera Editing, Using Multiclip
In this 45 minute demonstration session, we will quickly move through the workflow of editing a multi camera shoot. We will: Match the color balance & saturation of the different cameras. Sync the shots quickly and easily by using audio wave forms. Create & edit a “multiclip” in Final Cut Pro 6…this feature allows you to playback multiple camera angles simultaneously and create your finished edit in the timeline by point and click switching! We will also add transitions, filters and use some of the more refined features of multiclip editing, and of course save some time at the end of the session for questions and answers.
(3) Final Cut Pro 6: Create a Dynamic Multilayer Show Opening
In this one hour, hands on workshop, we will use some of the more exotic features of FCP6 to create an eye catching multilayered composite. In the process we will learn how to: make animated backgrounds and animated text in LiveType. Then we will use Keyframes and Composite Modes in FCP to blend these elements with layers of video to create a very rich and sophisticated show opening. This workshop is geared toward advanced-beginners & intermediate FCP users…but that said, everyone is welcome to participate.
Mical Fowler and Justin Fowler will demonstrate the most important new features in Adobe’s Creative Suite 3. We will also look at under-used features and techniques, with an emphasis on real-world problems and solutions. There will be a special focus on Photoshop, but Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, Dreamweaver and Bridge will be covered as well. Attendees will be able to download example files and illustrated step-by-step instructions. You are invited to eMail specific questions and requests prior to the workshop to: UNCP@mical.com.

Casey will give an “appetizer” of some of the iLife 08 suite including iPhoto, Garage Band, and iTunes to demonstrate how to make and share music, pictures and movies.
(3) A quick look at OSX’s “garnishes” that add a little convenience to our computing experience.
This is the dessert of the course which will cover the highlights of OSX’s “convenience applications” such as Spotlight, Dashboard, the Dock, and Time Machine.
Educational Documentaries
This workshop will cover technology-sensitive issues in
Criminal Justice content, including, sensitive film editing,
sensitive interviewing techniques such as
camera angles,
background and voice over.
It addresses
Criminal Justice & the Media (a love-hate relationship)
and issues of public safety, legal liability, release documentation, and
how to get the best information from your subject matter experts.
The workshop is illustrated with a multi-media document produced in
UNCP's Criminal Justice course 5840 on Threat Management

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
Creating a Multi-Camera Music Video (Almost Single-handedly!)
In the past, it took a remote television production truck and a large crew to produce a multi-camera video of a musical performance. Today it can be accomplished with several Digital Video camcorders, a computer and minimal crew. For example, the 23rd annual Holiday Reunion Jam was videotaped with one cameraman operating three cameras. Performances from seven different bands were edited into a 60 minute television program. These performances can be viewed on local cable channels as well as a podcast feed. The workflow for this editing process will be examined including capturing, syncing, color-correcting, audio mixing and encoding. NOTE for K-12 teachers! This same process could be used to create videos of school musical events!

Digital Tools in the Creative Classroom
The need to be digitally literate applies to both the instructor and the student. This hands-on workshop for K-12 teachers will focus on how to get students more interested in digital images as a means of creative production. It is important for teachers to remind students of the creative process behind many of the things they are already interested in like movies, music, and TV. The workshop will include an introduction to online resources for students to view. Photoshop Elements will be used to discuss how students can create personal images for use both on the web and in print.

From Snapshot to Printer: Digital photography made simple
Digital camera tips/usage; Photo Transfer; File organization; Photo editing
Digital cameras have put quality photography within everyone's reach. The workshop will begin with basic techniques and considerations for everyday digital camera use. It includes getting photos off the camera and onto your computer, as well as practical and simple ways to organize and catalog your images. Even the best photos need a little retouching, so also included are free and simple software for making modest adjustments and corrections to your photos.

“20 year evolution...low tech.......to high tech”.
Although there is core knowledge that is processed in the minds of students every day, a new era of transmitting that knowledge has begun. Never before have students had so many options available to them when expressing meaningful growth. Join twenty-year visual arts educator Suzan Wallace who will present the nature of process (content) and show (how) to teach and create connections through arts & technology.

Integrating Digital Assignments into Freshman Seminar:
Some Do's and Don'ts
In the Fall 2007 two sections of Freshman Seminar were taught with a technology theme. Students were given various assignments including creating a short biographical PowerPoint and a short-length video documentary on a campus resource such as the Career Services Center, or Student Life.
The goal of the instructors in integrating digital assignments was to promote “technological literacy” early in a student’s college career in order to encourage students who may not be familiar with using a computer beyond web exploration, also to help them use content creation applications, and to further improve student work in other courses.
Hear about what was accomplished, what was learned, and what plans are for the future for faculty. Student response to these projects and see a showcase of student work. The information presented will be beneficial for anyone considering incorporating digital assignments into a college course.
Presenters: Timothy C. Hayes, Darcy M. Hayes and UNC Pembroke students.

Increasingly, educators are being asked to integrate technology into their instructional design and delivery. From distance-learning course management to Smartboards to iTunes University to web-based course registration, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed by the pressures to produce technology-infused content. When is technology an appropriate integration and when is it an overlay? When do you introduce such paradigm shifts to students and colleagues? Why is it imperative that twenty-first century learners work with digital content? Why change the tried and true?
This autobiographical presentation offers an overview of ways in which one teacher educator attempts to blend digital content with hard copy, to imbed new literacies within traditional text-based processes, and to morph “the way it’s always been” with “the way it’s gotta be.” Examples of content (teaching materials and student products of learning) as well as anecdotes about successes and challenges will be shared. Collegial questions, answers, and discussion are strongly encouraged!
