Annotate the Web with Popcorn Maker | screencast tutorial Popcorn Maker, a tool for enhancing and remixing Web video from Mozilla, holds a lot of potential for educators, according to Linda W. Braun. The library consultant and educator, who created an earlier tutorial on make-your-own infographics, takes the free, browser-based application for a spin in the following screencast. In addition to providing an exciting new option for student book reviews, to name one idea, Popcorn Maker could help librarians curate content. “For school and public librarians, teachers, and parents who work with kids and teens, there are a lot of possibilities,” says Braun.

Relocate your iMovie projects I recently (finally!) replaced my aging MacBook Pro with a new 2010 model, which includes a 500GB internal hard disk. I feel like I have more breathing room on disk, but I know from experience that it’s a short-lived situation. Especially with digital video, that free space will be quickly consumed. iMovie ’09 stores your projects and events (which include the raw imported footage) on your Mac’s internal drive by default, but at some point you’ll probably want to relocate old videos to a secondary hard drive. 1. 2. Note that dragging a project in this manner copies the files, so you’ll end up with one version on the internal drive and a duplicate set on the external drive. Also note that the entire event is copied or moved, even footage that doesn’t currently appear in the movie. You can also copy or move individual events without affecting the projects that use their footage by dragging the event to another volume in the Event Library.
