Here is the opening of each Mr. Dressup show as well as the final 10 minutes of the last show produced (but it continued to be aired for years after). I have many good memories of watching Mr. Dressup in my day. I guess I've just dated myself. Aaaaahhhh.....
Next I tried to open a podcast in the Booklist Webinar Online and had no success in being able to open a couple of them. I did have success with opening one of the TED talks and actually summarized the points but threw it out after I read that I was supposed to do a library based podcast. I then asked one of the Team23 members and they told me I could use anything. So now I'm going to try to remember the main points from the summary I threw out. The topic was titled: "Esta Soler: How we turned the tide on domestic violence (Hint: the Polaroid helped)". It was extremely interesting, inspiring and informative. This sweeping, optimistic talk charts 30 years of tactics and technologies -- from the Polaroid camera to social media -- that led to a 64% drop in domestic violence in the U.S. When Esta Soler lobbied for a bill outlawing domestic violence in 1984, one politician called it the "Take the Fun Out of Marriage Act". In 1994, Esta Soler convinced Congress to pass a law to combat the devastating effects of violence against women. Today, her mission is global. She says that it's not about building more jails or shelters but in educating people, especially men about the impact of violence on women. Children need to be protected and healed. Ad campaigns are extremely effective and in this media driven age have a greater impact than what they were able to do 20-30 years ago.
Tried to embed the podcast from the TED talk but copying and pasting the URL is the best I can do. I don't know how to place it on my clipboard as they instructed. Whether or not you can open it from my blog is yet to be seen.
I didn't bother with the Video Conferencing because I already Skype with my sister every two weeks. It's opened up an awesome world for us and it's saving us a few pennies on long distance calling too!
