Assignment #10

1. I have never posted a video on Youtube or facebook.
2. The statistics did not suprise me I know that there is a lot of college kids who look at videos online and I actually have a lot of friends who use it for the music videos to play music of computer and also to watch funny videos, so I can see why the statistics are so high and they way they are.
3. I chose this video because I love this movie and it has to do with dance which was my life before college and this movie just shows how passionate they are for dancing and it brings back memories how I was and makes me miss dancing more and more.
4. You can search for videos on break.com or on google they have videos also and there are many more but those are two of the bigger ones.
5. You tube is a web 2.0 because you can do the same things like people can look at the stuff you put up and you can tag in both and you can write comments and post things, so they are the same type of application just formatted a little different.

Assignment #9

1. Wikipedia and scholarpedia look a like and they both can be edited by anyone and they are also powered by the same program mediawiki. They are different cause scholarpedia is each article is written by a expert and then peer reviewd, which shows accurate and reliable information, it also has a curator which is typically the author and if there needs to be changes it has to be aproved by the curator first. Yes, I have used one of these before, I have used wikipedia but never scholarpedia never even heard of it to tell the truth.
2. I thought that the wiki concept was something that I have never even heard of before and that it was interesting and made a lot of sense, I could see this concept being something that could help me to organize certain situations and ideas easily.
3. This would be a lot of help with a school project you could have everyone in your group make account then put all your ideas together and people in your group can add things or take things off as the please and it would be organized and kept in a safe spot for everyone to access.

Assignment #8

1. I tried using google docs.
2. The main reason of using a collaboration tool is because everything is in one spot and its online and many people can use and add to it that you invite.
3. People are using this tool to organize information and easier to find and keep things on track.
4. I have never used a tool like this before in any way shape or form.
5. I could use this kind of tool when I have a school project and instead of having everyone email there findings and attatching them to one another we could just use google docs and everyone in group would be able to see and comment on each others works.

Assignment #7

1. The podcast is not associated with a publisher but is assocaited with St. Cloud States Holocaust center, I do not see any discusion boards that were set up for this podcast, you can contact St. Cloud state holocaust department and get a response to many questions, this podcast was made in August 2006, so not to old. If you have regular windows or some type of media player you can listin to it easily. The audio quality on my computer sounds great! This podcast is very easy to aquire.
2. I thought that they were all pretty easy to use but the one I liked and thought was the easiest was the podcast.com
3.No none of my teachers are using prodcasting for there lectures unfortunetly.

Assignment #6

1. Yes, I could use this tool in school or just for fun because say that I am looking for something I need I can make an account and watch and choose my prefrences that I am looking for or interested in and they will bring up everything I need and I can read them and make comments and read comments that people left about the story or issue.
2. These tools to me seem to be productivity enhancers, because you do not have to do much work at all the site does it for you and all you have to do is browse through all the results they found for you. Cuts your time in half if they have the information that you are looking for.
3. No, I have no had the chance to ready a story or item on any of these sites, that were posted to it.
4. To me delicious and these sites are about the same they have the same concept going on, you can save and bookmark things, and you can send them to your friends the only difference is that delicious you can do tags and the other sites you can not, but I would catergorize them both as something you can use in the future with many situations and a form of social networking that is expanding as we speak.

Assignment #5

1. The tags that were assigned to this photo were large computers, macs, printers, SCSU and library. I basically did the same just made it a little broader I used 2nd floor, library and Miller center. I used these because it was not as a narrowed down tag.
2. Unfortunetly I do not use any kind of form of photo sharing, I just load it on my computer and take it right off my camera.
3. Yes, I do upload to my face book account and I personally think they are about the same, except with flickr you can have them more private then the facebook acount. Facebook account anyone who wants can look at your photos even if they are not a friend of you but if there are a friend of yours. I personally like the facebook account way just cause I know most of the people on it.

4. I think for if I ever used flickr more often that I would put my pictures public whats the harm

in people looking at your pictures and artwork, if you do not want some stranger looking at your photos then keep them or that one private its that simple. It does not take a genius to use it.

Assignment #4

2. In my personal life I could also see my self using this tool for instance for school things and for if I ever want to go on a trip I could use it to keep all my information organized so I do not misplace it.
3. The benefits of social bookmarking are that it is something that anyone can use, its very easy and can be used for many different things and it keeps everything organized, and its very easy to find.
