Work from Home

October 12, 2008
So today I was trying to do some work for my flat classroom project from home. I was doing pretty good until IL forgot my topic. But then it came back to me. I was surprised that I get totally different websites at home than I do at school. I like to websites I get at school. They give much more information. It is a lot easier to understand what is going on at school than it is at home. I will be able to finish everything tomorrow hopefull

Learning Process

October 10, 2008

I have heard Mrs. Becker say RSS feed a thousand times and so today at 8:50 am I found out what it meant. An RSS Feed means "Really Simple Syndication." It is so freaking cool. I never really wanted to ask because everyone else new so I didn't really want to ask. Anyway I can edit my Wikispaces. I am excited about that because I have been waiting to edit and I never could because I was not accepted as a member.

Copyright

September 19, 2008           

I never really realized how important copyrighting could be. It was interesting to see all the rules that you have to follow in order to get information off the Internet and cited it. I thought it was a very tedious project. But I learned a lot from it. I was really surprised that the government wrote a book on how copyrighting is illegal. I knew about it but I found out so much more information on it. Since I am music major I was looking at how people can copyright music. I found it funny how people try to use some of the most famous tracks and just put different words and they would get caught. But you can make something up and then try to make something similar to that track and make a totally different song. All and all I thought this project was very productive and I found tons of information that could help me not only in this class, but in my other academics classes as well.

Netiquette

October 8, 2008

Netiquette- Wilson and I are still working on the PowerPoint. Last class PowerPoint and safari kept quitting on me. I was getting a little frustrated because I could not do anything with my flat classroom project nor the wiki and ning. I found out that you should a restart your computer if things go wrong with it. I was a little confused because I was trying to find pictures to go with the caption and I found out all you have to do is go to google and just push image. 

Flat classroom Project

October 10, 2008

So today we had a little problem with the internet server. We could not get on the internet at all. So today was not really productive. I finished working on Flat Class room project #1. When I was doing my recording I was just so excited. I was just a little nervous because I am going to be meeting people from all over the world. I am nervous because I will be communicating with different cultures and ethnicities. So cool. I just cannot wait to get started.l

 

Wiki Spaces

Today is Oct. 8, 2008

I am so excited. We are about to start our wiki and then we will begin the ning. I am just happy to be in this class. I want to just start. I am trying to think of good ideas to do my presentations. I am also making sure that I can work on this project at home. I am just ready to meet everyone from the different countries. I want to get to know everyone's cultures and be able to understand a little bit more.

Lots of Love
