A Redesigned Library

 This is my video for my redesigned library. I was somewhat disappointed that when I exported my slides into iMovie, they became blurry. I also noticed that when I uploaded to Youtube, two of my audio clips at the beginning took on a "tinny" echo. I think this may be because I recorded the audio for first two clips in PowerPoint and the remainder in iMovie.

I would like to call my redesigned library "The Eagle's Nest." I came up with this name in a previous Queen's course. I like it because "nest" reflects the idea of growth and nurture and makes sense with our school animal, the JH Eagle. It also matches with the gym, called the Eagle Dome, and the cafeteria, called the Eagles' Café. Other naming options might be "The Eagle's Learning Lab," or "The Eagle's Idea Incubator," though those might be too "cheesy" for the secondary students.

Questions for feedback:

1. Do you think the music in the video enhances or distracts from its overall impression?

2. How would you present your redesign plans to the PAC or school district to obtain funding?
