The LLC is currently working on putting together a fast paced, low budget movie to use for marketing online and among high schools. We are looking for pictures and/or videos of BGSU language students?
What exactly are we looking for? Activities that show BGSU language students interacting and having fun!!
For example:
If you have videos and/or pictures already, or if you are interested in getting some for your activities, please contact the coordinator, Amber Kent at adkenne@bgsu.edu.
Also, we are looking for volunteers to allow the staff to document scheduled LLC time. We’re especially interested in classes using Webquests, Audacity, iMovie, or other technology.
We look forward to hearing from those who can help out!
Keep your eyes and ears open for a completed movie coming this Summer!

The next time you are on facebook, make sure to become a fan of the Language Learning Center. We are hoping to get 500 fans! Can you help us achieve that goal?

For those of you who regularly use the LLC Audio files at http://llc.bgsu.edu, you might have noticed some problems over the last few weeks being able to access certain files. That is because our main server drive was failing.
Working together with ITS, we decided not to replace the old, failing G4 machine, but rather to join ITS’s campus server. This server is larger, faster, and much more stable (due to its extensive back up measures) and is online NOW!
We have found some great ideas online of what to do with the old G4 though!

The individual workstations in the back portion of the LLC just got all new headphones!
You will notice that these headphones a bit bigger and heavier duty, which means they should be sturdier and we should have less problems with the microphone boom breaking.
The ear pieces are also bigger, and go around the ears. This should help reduce the noise of your neighbors when you are working in the lab.
Also, these headphones are capable of hardware play through, which means that you will now be able to hear yourself as you are recording in Audacity. All of the stations will be set up to play through by default. If it is not working that way, or if you would prefer not to hear yourself, just ask a staff member to check/change the settings for you.

A lot of instructors have contacted me about using vlogs (video blogs) in their language class. It is actually really easy.
An example of inserting a blog Using the Add media function
Alternative
>>>iMovie 08 also will upload directly into YouTube, which is a nice feature. So, if a student has a YouTube account, they can upload the video directly into their YouTube account. Then, they can use the HTML editing option to copy and paste in the embedding code (provided in YouTube).
And here is an example of inserting a blog that I’ve first posted on Youtube
