Popcorn Maker,
a tool for enhancing and remixing Web video, holds a lot of potential
for educators and librarians. Linda W. Braun, library consultant and
educator, takes the application for a spin in a
screencast.
In addition to providing an exciting new option for book reviews,
Popcorn Maker could also help librarians curate content. With a
drag-and-drop interface, users can annotate video, pulling in Wikipedia
content, images, and Google Maps. "For school and public librarians,
teachers, and parents who work with kids and teens, there are a lot of
possibilities," says Braun.
