Thing 10 Live Streaming

I have viewed a lecture before online which was live streamed but that's the only experience I have with live streaming.
I can see how it would be very valuable for conferences and lectures. It would be especailly useful for overseas conferences that you might not have the opportunity to attend in person.
I followed all of the steps with logging into google and the creator studio. I know how to set up a live stream if I ever needed to. Unfortunately, I missed the Rudaí 23 hangout on air as I hadn't reached this point in the course by August.
I decided to try and use Periscope for my task.
I read all of the how to guides on it and tried to install, unfortunately my phone didn't have enough space for the app so I had to abandon ship an this occasion.
I definitely would use live streaming as an audience member but I would still feel a but unsure of using it to broadcast my own videos. I'm a bit unsure still how to set up the camera so that it is facing outwards rather than facing you ie. if you wanted to livestream a library instruction class how to video ''outwards' and how to make this look professional.
For now I am happy to be an audience member rather than a participant, perhaps when I am more familiar with how it all works I would be see other uses for Periscope.
I had a look at Thing 10 on Pinterest and found some Ted talks, I'm a big fan of Ted talks and doing this Thing has reminded me to keep a lookout for library Ted talks and to look out for more conferences that have live streaming available.

Thing 9 Video

Thing 9, I am embarrassed to say that I am only on Thing 9 at this stage when many people have finished Thing 23. Up until this point I seemed to fit each Thing in quite easily, but this one required learning how to use screencasting and also the task of finding something that you could make a video on...so I thought I would spend some time thinking about what to make my video on.
I did not envision taking this long to figure it out... Various demands on my time meant that I found each week slip by without making the video so here I am finally attempting Thing 9, and hopefully I am back on the road to Thing 23.....almost halfway there...
While looking for inspiration on what to make a video of, I thought I would cheat a little bit and have a nosey at what everyone else's videos were about. I found myself learning about so much more than how to use screencastomatic, I found out how to use Gimp, Nexis and various resources from other libraries. I am very impressed with all of the videos I have watched. There are hours of reading and learning to be done through the creation of everyones posts.
I can see how video is so useful for use as a 'how to' guide, as they can be short and concise and  can be shared easily and also can be useful to reaffirm what may have already been explained in a class.
I decided to do my video on Pinterest, not because I am an expert on it but because I am new to it and from the doing Thing 8, I think I will would like to explore it further.
So here is the video ...finally.

I found Screencastomatic straighforward to use, I didn't want to record my voice (stage fright!) so I made use of the annotations on YouTube instead.
