“Shortest Catechetical Media/Tech eLetter Ever” from NACMP Vol. 02 Issue 09

***Music for your videos of the day
Looking for music (creative copyright and/or free) for your class
meditation prayer videos or PowerPoints? Check out http://www.jamendo.com
and http://www.zero-project.gr/ and http://www.danosongs.com/. I
found them by surfing through http://mashable.com/2010/12/08/ind-music-for-youtube-videos/

***Old Idea with New Twist of the day (thank you, Tweet from James
Martin, SJ, http://twitter.com/#!/JamesMartinSJ)
The "If the Social Network 'whatever story' about Jesus" is getting
old, check out http://www.ignitermedia.com/mini-movies/1923/Follow/.
Fr. Martin said he was prepared to not like it...

***Cool YouTube utility of the day
http://www.youtuberepeater.com is a service that allows you to
automatically play the same YouTube video over and over. Why? Dunno.
Well, maybe, if you have an open house and want a YouTube meditation
with music, or the YouTube video of your highschoolers on their
service trip, or whatever, to loop over and over...

***Blog post of the day (thank you, Caroline Cerveny, SSJ-TOSF)
http://acyberpilgrim.org/ is a great blog to follow! Check out "A
Scripture Digital Storytelling Prayer Experience" at http://tinyurl.com/acyberpilgrim-prayerexp

***Book Resource of the day (thank you, Amazon Reviewers!)
See Amazon reviews of Catechesis in a Multimedia World by Mary Byrne
Hoffmann at http://tinyurl.com/amazon-Catmedia. I am liking this short
and richly insightful book!
