Integrating Technology with Print

There is an article on my home area's website, the Quad City Times, that the Davenport Public Library held a video contest in which students of the Davenport area were allowed to make videos and then post them on to YouTube.

This contest did not include posting just ANY video, but rather videos altering the ending of a favorite book or composing videos explaining why they love their library. Although there are no videos on the site, it would be interesting to see some of these videos that were created.

This was a fantastic idea and it is awesome seeing the students from Davenport getting involved in their library.

I was exploring the latest tech news on the Fox News website and discovered this site that the University of California-Berkeley has implemented into their university curriculum. It is a personal site, using the popular video sharing site YouTube, in which they include lectures and other event information throughout the campus. As I continued to think about the possible uses of this site, how awesome would it be if you missed some of the day's notes and wanted to retrieve some more details on what was covered in class, to just log on to this site with your CatID login name and password and watch away? Please leave comments below and let me know what your thoughts are!!!
