The Equipment

The Equipment

All photographers have their own techniques and specialized equipment for capturing the picture perfect image.
This page is a collection of resources that I have found helpful throughout the MET program.  In no way is this meant to be an exhaustive list.  Instead it is a collections of a few of my favourite pieces of equipment that I keep in my equipment bag.

Collaboration

Picture
Twitter has been an invaluable method for collaboration and encouragement.  It has helped me develop a number of personal & professional relationships with my peers in the MET program.

Picture
Google Drive is an excellent tool to help with the organization of group projects.  It is also a great way to share documents with your peers for editing.

Picture
Google Hangouts (GHO) has been my preferred way to meet-up with group members in a face-to-face environment.  Sometimes it is simply faster to talk about an idea than to write multiple messages.  I have also used Live Google Hangouts to publish and share group reflections at the end of a project.


Reading & NOtetaking

Picture
UPad was a huge time saver for me.  It allowed me to upload all of the course readings and write notes on the individual documents while reading.  There are options to use sticky notes, to highlight, and to write with a stylus (or your finger when you forget the stylus at home).   


Social Bookmarking

Picture
Pinterest is a tool that I have used throughout the MET program.  I have created a number of topic specific related to projects and course content.  It allows me to quickly look through a board to find the resources I am looking for.

Picture
Delicious is a great tool that allowed me to bookmark all of the academic readings throughout the MET program. Which proved to be beneficial when some readings were repeated throughout various courses.

Picture
Feedly served as a great way to bookmark individual blog feeds.  Immediately upon opening the app you are able to see which blog has a new post for you to read.  

Website Creation

Picture
After being introduced to Weebly in my first term, it has been my go-to website host.  With its simplicity, I describe is as plug-and-play.  If you wish to learn HTML code along the way, it can also be embedded within the site.


Video Creation

Picture
QuickTime is a simple tool for screen-capture and capturing audio.  It allows for both to be completed simultaneously.  Unfortunately for the this is a new feature that was not previously available for me. 

Picture
PowerPoint is not often considered in the creation of videos.  However, it provides an excellent platform in the creation of rolling credits at the end of the video.

Picture
iMovie is a simple editing tool to create the finished product.  Bringing audio and visual together.  It also allows for direct upload to YouTube.

Picture
Do not be like me. Try out Camtasia sooner than later, before ETEC590!  It is easy to learn, and would have saved a lot of time recording screen-capture and audio simultaneously.  


Creative Applications

Picture
VideoScribe is a creative application that I have used on a number of occasions.  You are able to create a video, complete with royalty-free music and images.  The key feature is a hand that illustrates your images.

Picture
HaikuDeck is a slideshare application.  It has a variety of stock images you can use if you do not wish to upload your own.
