Recall that online audio for Bob Cannard is located here: Voice of the Farm: A visit with Bob Cannard at his Sobre Vista Farm in Sonoma, California May 11, 2000 http://www.lifesignsphoto.com/Earth/Farms/Cannard.html
Part 1 An Introduction to Farming Part 2 Biology Lessons Part 3 The Social Context Part 4 It's a wrap Each audio clip is about 11-12 minutes. Also there at Lifesignsphoto: Wes Jackson Speaks at Asilomar The 20th Annual Ecological Farming Conference January 19 through 22, 2000 http://www.lifesignsphoto.com/SShow/EFarm2000/Wes/wesa.htm Fascinatingly..... the Wes Jackson download is a RealSlideShow clip. It combines the Wes Jackson audio lecture at about 11-12 minutes, integrated with slide photo images that "transition" from one image to the next image while the audio lecture plays. Though, there aren't enough images and they change too slowly, so this is just a sample of RealSlideShow, not an excellent example of RealSlideShow. Curiosity finally got to me so I stayed up late this week investigating RealSlideShow and found out that it is still available in the dark dungeons of Real Network, with a free download version. OK, friends, here it is.... it is a life transforming experience to have this tool... if you have music clips or audio clips and slide images... you can weave it all together and have a new form of educational delivery. As I say, it is an older release and *all* of the old press release sites that talk about RealSlideShow "jump" to this Real Networks page featuring the most recent "for-purchase" programs. http://www.realnetworks.com/products/media_creation.html But no, you have to dig deeper. Deeper. You have to search and you have to dig. Instead, go to Tools and Plug-ins http://www.realnetworks.com/resources/toolsplugins/index.html Now you can get to RealSlideShow Basic http://forms.real.com/rnforms/products/tools/slideshowbasic/index.html?key=75VG61047058248 As a test run, I put put together my first RealSlideShow with beautiful music and beautiful images.... flow forms, BD barrel stirring, chromatagram, flower beds, water crystallization... with a title of "It's a Beautiful Day." My work home page, Rhizosphere II, is no longer available as a public site web page (new organizational policy), so I will move this over to my "farm home" web page later and let you know how to access it. In the meantime, here is a nice sampler of RealSlideShow in action. As you can see, it is pretty cool. A nice example of slide transitions and phase changes between images set to music from a band that knows how to use technology to get their music and vision "out there." Baby, I Just Got the Blues an online video* by one blue nine *actually a glorified multimedia slide show.. http://ghostcity.tripod.com/obn_justgotblues_sldshw.html Adios amigos, Steve Allan Balliett wrote: > Thanks so much for this, Jane.
