If you've ever gone through a movie adding subtitles, you'll know what a slow, tedious and laborious process it is. It's even more annoying if you've already put the dialog into the say activities to improve the lip sync.
We've just finished off adding a feature which will take a lot of that work away from you. When you add subtitles in the Cutting Room, there's an option to automatically generate subtitles from the say activities in your movie. Moviestorm will then add the subtitles to your entire movie.
Obviously, if you make spelling mistakes in your say activities, you'll get them in your subtitles too...

Mark Frauenfelder is a writer, editor, and illustrator who came of age in the halcyon days of handmade zines and punk rock. He carried that DIY ethos with him as the co-founder and editor of the zine-turned-blog Boing Boing, which focuses on technology and inspiration. These days, he is the editor-in-chief of MAKE, a magazine that teaches and encourages do-it-yourself living. Frauenfelder introduces us to Kevin Mack, whose art takes the vast and still uncharted area of digital technology and brings it into the physical world. The results are images printed on canvas which vacillate between abstraction and photorealism, and virtual sculptures transformed into the tangible via three-dimensional printing technology.

Robin Good: Must-read article on ClutterMuseum.com by Leslie M-B, exploring in depth the opportunity to have students master their selected topics by "curating" them, rather than by reading and memorizing facts about them.
"Critical and creative thinking should be prioritized over remembering content"
"That students should learn to think for themselves may seem like a no-brainer to many readers, but if you look at the textbook packages put out by publishers, you’ll find that the texts and accompanying materials (for both teachers and students) assume students are expected to read and retain content—and then be tested on it.
Instead, between middle school (if not earlier) and college graduation, students should practice—if not master—how to question, critique, research, and construct an argument like an historian."
This is indeed the critical point. Moving education from an effort to memorize things on which then to be tested, to a collaborative exercise in creating new knowledge and value by pulling and editing together individual pieces of content, resources and tools that allow the explanation/illustration of a topic from a specific viewpoint/for a specific need.
And I can't avoid to rejoice and second her next proposition: "What if we shifted the standards’ primary emphasis from content, and not to just the development of traditional skills—basic knowledge recall, document interpretation, research, and essay-writing—but to the cultivation of skills that challenge students to make unconventional connections, skills that are essential for thriving in the 21st century?"
We often ask our students to create annotated bibliographies, and this focuses on their capacity to evaluate and make decisions about the validity, reliability and relevance of sources they have found. using Scoop.it, we can ask them to do much the same thing, but they will publish their ideas for an audience, and will also be able to provide and use peer feedback to enhance and tighten up their thinking. This is relevant to any curriculum area. Of course it is dependent on schools being able to access any social media, but rather than thinking about what is impossible, perhaps we could start thinking about what is possible and lobbying for change.

In connection with our booth at San Diego Comic Con, we launched our Two-Headed Cop Kickstarter Campaign!

I would be insanely grateful if you could help get the word out about Two-Headed Cop by sharing with anyone you might think would be interested in the animated film.
People can donate as little as $1, it all helps and we've created a lot of great incentive rewards. DVDs of the finished film, t-shirts, postcards, and cool originals like: original hand inked Two-Headed Cop drawings, a sculpture of Two-Headed Cop and even an reward where you can be a character in the film!
We've love to have your support. Drop us a line and tell us what you think. We love getting feedback on our work! Thanks again and please check out all the rewards and info about the Kickstarter campaign at:
