DTLT New Media Specialist Andy Rush presented “This Old New Media Center” at the 2010 NMC Summer Conference. Fashioned after the PBS television program “This Old House,” the presentation highlighted using new media tools in a Do-It-Yourself way. Andy demonstrated how to use a set of inexpensive tools to capture and stream a live presentation. He also talked about the future of video on the web, in the form of HTML5, discussed a toolkit that everyone using new media should have, and highlighted the Digital Media Cookbook site that provides new media recipes for managing, creating, and producing digital media.
