=​Welcome to Oakland Elementary School's Library Media Center! =

The computer lab has 28 student work stations, one station for teacher/projection demonstrations, and a second computer devoted to video production.   This is a closer look at the Video Production Corner of the Library Media Center. The "driver computer" is connected to a projection device; the cart was purchased online through [|Education Works]. The green screen, stand, and clamps were purchased on eBay for less than $100.00. A track of three can lights runs along the ceiling about five feet away from the screen.   The digital camcorder seen below is mounted on an inexpensive tripod. The camera's tape is actually "fast forwarded" to the END to work with the green screen software.   The most important attribute of the camcorder is its compatibility with a "firewire." The firewire leaves the camcorder and then...   ..."talks" to the computer through the firewire port in the back of the PC tower.   The [|Adobe Visual Communicator 3] software is so powerful (and demanding) that the district's technology department recommends a computer be designated for its use.   Two monitors are needed, but one does not necessarily need to be of high quality. The monitor used as a student teleprompter was purchased at WALMART for approximately $100.00.   The "icing on the cake" is to complete a production area with a feedback destroyer (to remove background noise), microphones/stands, and a pair of high-quality speakers. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
