Hi everyone! We have a new monthly contest!  happy  I look forward to seeing all of your entries!


How to Join:

Simply submit your library files to our Little Reader Library, and you will be eligible to win this contest!

    •   Your files will be judged on QUALITY
    •   English and Foreign Language Downloads are both applicable
    •   Files may only be under the MULTIMEDIA folder, either Categories or Playlists

This contest will run every first of the month, and we will award the winner every last day of the month!

*For this month, we will be opening November’s contest early, so all of your downloads
from today until the end of October will be counted for November’s judging!


Prizes:

The winner will receive 1,000 loyalty points!

We will announce the winner on this thread, giving you added publicity for your downloads!
The more people download your story, the more points you earn! 
We may also include the winning entry in the “BrillKids Recommended” library section,
to help boost your file’s exposure!

We'll also be giving away forum badges to the winner, so people will see that you've won the contest,
and if they click on your badge, it will take them directly to your downloads!




Criteria for Judging:

    •   Quality of pronunciations, images, and/or videos
    •   Number of media attached for each word
    •   Creativity of topic
    •   Amount of times downloaded and rating


WHAT MAKES A GREAT LIBRARY FILE…

To help guide you in creating great library files, here are a few tips:
    •   Make sure your pronunciation recordings are clear and loud enough, with the words enunciated properly.
        For more help, please see the following resources:
           o   FAQ: The Easy Voice Recorder
           o   How to Record your Own Voice and Picture Audio
    •   Choose to use images that are clear and crisp.  Use the Picture Editor to crop and resize your images,
        as well as draw arrows or circles to help focus your child’s attention to the object on the screen.
    •   Add multiple pictures to each word - your child will see different pictures for the same word each and
        every time the category is presented, giving him a deeper understanding of each word’s meaning.
    •   Use Picture Audio (apart from the pronunciations) in your library files.  You can choose to record facts
        about the images for encyclopedic knowledge, or make sound effects to enhance your learning activity!

Actually, copy/pasting pictures into your ppt slides does not use any less space than if you were to put it into Little Reader.  In the ppt, you just end up making your ppt file a bigger size.  In LR, if you place the picture in your hard drive, then all you do in LR is to link to it, so there is no extra space taken up when you do that.  The only time you would create an extra copy is when you export the whole category, when you would have all the relevant media files copied into one .cat file, which you would export.  However, even here, you can delete the .cat file after you export it if you want to save space.

Hope that makes sense! smile
