QuickTime Player

What is QuickTime?

A powerful multimedia technology with a built-in media player, QuickTime lets you view Internet video, HD movie trailers, and personal media in a wide range of file formats. And it lets you enjoy them in remarkably high quality.


With its simple design and easy-to-use controls, QuickTime Player makes everything you watch even more enjoyable. Its clean, uncluttered interface never gets in the way of what you’re watching. Want to speed through a movie or slow things down? A handy slider lets you set playback from 1/2x to 3x the normal speed. And you can search through individual movie frames quickly.

How Cloud Storage Works

Don't forget that there are some cloud storage services you may already use (like Google Docs or Flickr) that you might practice saving items to in order to be ready to help patrons with them in the future!

My current favorite cloud storage site is DropBox, which is great for documents you want to access from multiple computers or that you need to share with other people easily.
