Blog #9

I have definitely changed my understanding of the many issues covered in this class. I had made a web page in my undergrad, but it was very basic. After creating the web page for this class, I have managed to learn and apply many more techniques I never thought I could master. I really enjoyed learning how to add pictures and video to my blog. I also learned a lot about podcasting, and delicious accounts.
I will be using the web as a reference to teach my class in the future.

Blog #8

I have definitely learned a lot this quarter. Throughout this entire process I have never felt so frustrated, and so excited at the same time. I have learned how to use SeaMonkey to create a web page. Within that process of creating a web page, I have learned how important it is to save not only save all your files under one folder, but to make sure you work off your hard drive, and then transfer over your files when you are ready to upload them to your site. It is also important to like every page of your global and local navigation.
For those of you who might experience some trouble when developing your own web page.....take your time to search out turtorials. There are many helpful hints on the Internet if you just take the time to look for them. The website Prodigy is a great reference for information on creating personal web pages. It explains everything you need to know in great detail.

Blog #7

I came across a few websites that I enjoy that use video to enhance the purpose of the site. The 1st is CBS MLB Baseball also known as http://www.sportsline.com/ it is very interesting to see all the baseball highlights they offer. I love how this site offers options on what highlight to view, and it is located on the front page of the site for easy viewing. The next video website is Grey's Anatomy. The show is one of my favorites to watch during the week, and it has some of the best looking men on television. It can be found at abc.com. ABC gives you the opportunity to view past episodes you might have missed, in order to catch you up with what is going on in the show. You can also check out other videos from popular shows that ABC broadcasts. These videos are easily accessible and easy to view. My third website that offers video is YouTube. This site offers many videos on just about anything you can think of. My favorite video from this site is Terry Tate "Office Linebacker." This is a video you should definitely check out. This guy makes people GET TO WORK. It will have you rolling on the floor. You are able to see featured videos, which are the most popular videos at that time. You also have the opportunity to search for videos of interest to you.

Blog # 6 Podcasts

I had never used podcasts for my personal purposes before this class. I did however, have a class that required me to listen to a podcast in order to know exactly what we were going to cover that day. It was very interesting, and informative. In class I subscribed to a podcast from iTunes. The few I really enjoyed were: "VH1 The best week ever," "The Economist," and "ESPN radio."
I also subscribed to some business podcast from podcast.net which talks about sustainable business practices....very interesting! In addition I subscribed to iPodder.org which has many entertainment, and professional podcasts available. I believe it will be very useful for me to have access to these podcasts when I start to teach. I enjoy listening and watching podcasts for both professional and personal use.

Blog #5

I created a Del.ic.io.us account that displays websites that either interest me professionally or that I visit often. As a future Business Education teacher I feel that the majority of these sites will help me stay current with the future trends in business and technology. I also added two blogs that I visit often to help me stay informed about education. Like others in this class I am not much of a blogger, but I did find it interesting to check out other blogs not associated with our class. I think it would be a great idea to check out educational blogs to get ideas from other teachers.

Blog #4

The concept of "fair use" is basically a way to use content based on exceptions and limitations of copywright laws. So people like us, can use images that we got off the web, instead of creating our own. Liquid Library is a website that offers interesting images for use with alternative copyrights. Molecular Expressions is another site that anyone can use to find interesting images. Creative Commons licensing lets authors, educators, artists, and others use tools to easily mark their own work. This gives them the option to mark their copyright terms as "All Rights Reserved" or "Some Rights Reserved."
