(2019 marked the 16th Annual Storytelling Festival, which then went on hiatus for spring 2020-2022 due to Covid)
The Center for Children’s Books (CCB) will host the 2019 Storytelling Festival, “Stories Like Yours,” on Saturday, March 2, from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at the iSchool, Room 126. In collaboration with Associate Professor and Interim Dean for Academic Affairs Kate McDowell, the Festival will bring together the iSchool community for a celebration of student stories.
“This year, we’re focusing on students as the tellers of their own stories,” McDowell said. “Students are telling us about their life paths and what brought them to the iSchool. These stories are a valuable gift, to us and to students who may come to us in the future.”
The Festival is proud to present the following storytellers and their stories:
· Kate McDowell, “Coming Home to the iSchool”
· Phoebe Metz, “Not the Only Weird One”
· Kiri Palm, “The Sky Fort”
· Joanna Pike, “By Accident”
· Linden Galloway, “The Library Found Me”
· Deborah Miller, “Lesson 206”
The morning of Wednesday 8 January, we updated the look and feel of Kaltura videos by moving from Player 2 to Player 7. The new player has a cleaner look, some improvements to controls, and a new transcript viewer. Also thanks to the upgrade we can now allow owners and co-editors of videos with two feeds to download *both* recordings from the mediaspace website.
As of the upgrade and going forward all videos play on mediaspace in the new player. Also since the upgrade any video you embed in Canvas or elsewhere, with the built-in tools in Canvas or the embed code from mediaspace, will play with the new player. However, any videos embedded anywhere before the update will continue to play in Player 2.
To take advantage of the new player, and use a fully-supported player, we urge you to re-embed videos in Canvas or elsewhere, retracing the steps you took the first time.
