Week 2: Thing #6

When I saw the assignment on the Glog, I wasn’t very thrilled; however, when I got into it, I could see Glogs enhancing the multimedia class in place of a PowerPoint Life Story. I would also like to use a Glog as part of a fractal assignment for geometry. Currently, I am stuck trying to incorporate my Glog on my Wiki

Week 2: Thing 5

3rd party mashups are kind of interesting but this is also something that actually disappoints me. Just imagine how I felt going online to look on a map only to see that someone has taken pictures of my house and posted them on the map. Since the house has been in my family since it was built, this feels really kind of creepy

Here is a picture that was taken near where I grew up. According to the Creative Commons tag, it is okay to share this picture. http://www.flickr.com/photos/swift/257351294/

Thing #3

This is a particularly interesting assignment. Obviously the safest usage would only be to use created materials. Students in the multimedia class like to use pictures off the internet. Reading about creative comons was good and the blog on attributes was good. I also like the quiz from St Francis, but I'm still not ready to teach about copyrights to my students and it is an area that I want to both model and teach.
