Dr. Freedman's Video

In today's world, Dr. Freedman mentions how competition for work is global. You are no longer just competing with your countryman, but from people on other continents. In this flat world, new technologies bring on new opportunities and you must capitalize on these opportunities in order to be successful.

With his information, I've learned that working with my teamates, reasearching and playing an effective part in the project will result in a good video. Like he said, "if your wiki is rubbish, than your video will be rubbish". Working and researching with my fellow classmates across the world will make our wiki better which will in effect make my video better. In the end, being orginal and creative in creating my video will be best.

Flat Classroom Project

Our class was selected to participate in the Flat Classroom Project. In this project we communicate and work with students all across the world. I am very excited at this opportunity because of the fact that I will be able to talk with teens my age who may live halfway across the world. Using the new Web 2.0 technology that we have learned will be benifical towards a succesful project. I cant wait to find out our specific assignment so that we can start this project!

A "puzzling" baseball

Today we went to a lab to create a mash up. I found a pic on flicker of a baseball and then i went onto bighugelabs.com to create a mash up. I then chose to make a jigsaw picture. On the lab site there are alot of other interesting things like ID badges, trading cards, CD covers. I might consider using this website to create a collage for one of my school assignments.

Flickr

Flickr was a different experience. It is basically a massive site to just upload pictures. On the website you can also edit, add new features, crop ect. It was somewhat difficult to understand at first but now that i know how to use it, it is very simple. Also now that i have an account, I can upload my own pictures.

Creation!

Today we made a blog account for Business Independent study class. It was farely easy creating one. At first I never knew what a blog was but now I know that it is to express our ideas. So every day or so I will be writing in here. I've never writtin a blog before so this will be a new experience for me. I hope that thoughout the year these will get easier and easier to write. But for now this is it. Im a member of WINC and I am in the Public Relations team.
