Video+Lab

= LIBRARY DIGITAL VIDEO LAB  = I was fortunate this year to move into a new facility that provided me with a library and a seperate space to create a digItal video lab.

The administration provided me with an additional $10,000 in the budget to purchase equipment to set up a functional space to provide students with an exceptional experience.

I spent several hours with other librarians in my district and used outside sources who have also had similar experiences in creating their own digital video lab.

I found the article, " The Complete Guide to Video Blogging. "Mashable:The Social Media Guide. Mashable very helpful.

The following list is all the equipment that I will puchase to furnish my library video lab.

Equipment Purchased:

3 Panasonic Digetal Camcorder HDC-TM 700 $750.00=2250.00 3 Panasonic DMW-MS1 External Microphone for Panasonic GH1 $105.02 =315.06

5 The Gateway ZX4300 has a 20 inch, single touch system that sales for around $750.= 3750.00
