I have not used livecode.com myself, but this video goes over the simplistic nature of the programming language and how well it works for student learning of programming concepts. Check out the impressive portfolio of real apps online out on the web. It might be great for development of church or school apps too.

Resources for an after school computer programming club

I'm not a Mac user myself, but I thought these uses of the Automator program might be handy for some of the WELSTech listeners.

Some rules/suggestions for a 1:1 laptop program

Recommendation from Clarence Chapman via G+ - If anyone is looking for a relatively in expensive video editing program that has a lot of ability and runs very simular Final Cut Pro try Cyberlink Power Director. We have been using it for a couple of years now and it is pretty powerful software.

This is very good software at an extremely good price for only a short while more. A good training course on udemy.com https://www.udemy.com/powerdirector/

Sallie, WELSTech Trainer, share the link to the article for PrintMyCal. Here's the link to the developer blog site and the download.

"Do you or your church, school or other organization use Google Calendars?  Are you looking for a printing solution for your Google Calendar? Print my Cal gives you a tool to print your google calendar... nice! Print My Cal is a Java-based executable program which allows users to add one or more Google Calendars, select a desired month and receive an editable, print-ready version of the calendar(s) in RTF format."

Shared by Pastor Rob Guenther - I've often wondered why DVD's don't have a TV edit track. You'd think it would easy enough to add a track where the foul language is edited out just like they do on TV. I'd let my boys watch some PG-13 movies if they had such a track. Well, there may finally be a solution I've been looking for... VidAngel.com offers $1 movie rentals. Well, sort of. You pay the retail price of the movie (let's say $20) to get a digital copy and they promise to buy it back (in this case, for $19) within 24 hours. (Or for a $2 "rental" fee if you get HD instead of SD.) I think it works like Red Box in that if you don't return it in 24 hours, they buy it back for $1 (or $2 in HD) less the next day until you run out of "credit" and then you eventually own it for $20. Cool program. But... what I like even better is the filter options they give. You can choose to remove sex scenes or bleep out certain language. Then it shows you what you'll see and hear and the new length of your movie. I think this could work well for youth groups as well as for individual or family uses. I think I'm really going to like VidAngel. I can still be culturally current but without putting garbage into my head. I may ditch Netflix DVD for VidAngel soon.

A good post on getting volunteers involved. Some good points of like telling people why the tasks are important, and to give them a chance to try before they commit. We do this with our AV Team, asking people to just come by on a Sunday to the back of church to watch what happens and to ask questions after.
