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

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.

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.
