Lesson #5 : Change Process

I really enjoyed the video of "A Vision of Students Today." (I don't think it really related much to the other documents of the blog. If you can explain it to me then leave me a comment.) I did not know Radiohead released a CD which let the consumer pay the amount they thought it was worth. I like that idea, but the record companies do not. I don't think music should be free, but I think a CD should cost around 5-7 dollars (even a new release). The USB bracelets...Whoa when did this happen? How come I didn't know about this? I guess it isn't that popular yet, but I am sure going to tell everyone I know. Since USB jump drives came out, I always wondered when this day would come...when CDs would be replaced by USBs.

Lesson #4: Information is Open Source

I really liked the Japanese University's method of teaching, but what about credits?

I liked the atmosphere because it is student centered. No school building? I would like to have a structure that meant something...I can't really explain myself, but if you don't get it just forget about it...but if you understand what I mean then ok. I liked how they use their local resources and I did see library listed. Go libraries everywhere!!!!



I can't believe that politics is everywhere..even on learn 2.1!! I can't wait until this election is over...it seems that it has gotten pretty steamy. The downside of posting your political video on youtube.com is that you are not guaranteed that the political candidates will see it or respond to it. You might get a lot of comments (even bad ones) from others that watch your video.

www.liveleak.com was neat.
I am familiar with Yahoo Answers, Facebook, and Google Scholar.

I did google myself and some results included:

  1. Facebook account

  2. Evanced

  3. Zoominfo.com this cite said the following:

    My age, High School I attended, What state I am in, My Title as Student, and it also had two newspaper articles that I was in.
