My video!

This video is an example of an assignment that I would give my dance students in which I would ask them to explore the possibilities of combining dance with nature.

Copyrights!

So I found this video youtube. Someone put scenes from the "Notebook" to the song "Fix you" by Coldplay. It is a bad example of copy right laws because the creator of the video did not have rights to the song or the movie clips, and they are posting it on the internet where it can be viewed by the public. In order for this to have been legal they would have needed to purchase the rights to the song and movie.


I think that the next video followed the copyright laws a little more closely. Less than ten percent of the movie is shown, and it is not altered. I don't think that they had purchased any rights to this movie, but less than ten percent of the movie was shown which makes using a movie clip acceptable.

Dance Website!

I made my own website! I am so excited! I was extremely intimidated at first but I think I figured most of it out! There are still a few things to work out, but it is a start:)
And... da da da! Here it is!

Bonding with Networks!

So I was able to learn about networks this week! I subscribed to 5 different technology blogs on google reader. I also set up a twitter account and a diigo account... crazy! On twitter I found two groups to follow that have to do with teaching and dance education. And on Diigo I bookmarked one of my blogs for the classes group. I enjoyed using google reader the most. I really liked the "Recent Instrctables" blog and the "Boing Boing" blog that I found.  They look so interesting and I love that I just get the automatic updates. K That's all for now!

SUCCESS!

And I just added a gadget! I added an archive to show my weekly updates, it is listed on the right hand side. Yay! Technology does not scare me!!

More to do more to do!

Alright so apparently there were a couple things i forgot to add to my blog! The theme of this blog is kind of random right now. It is mostly just me experimenting with different things i can add to my blog. I liked the background so I added it until I find one that I like better:)
