Presentations and Feedback

How we can You make it better next time?

To cut this short:
 
Get a one place where everything is at.
 

Evaluation and Feedback

I must admit that I haven't had time to follow my fellow participant's blogs during the course but I am in the process of going through them all currently.
 
I am sorry for my own absence at the forums but there was some setbacks on the way. For example the project I choose to take part in Wikiversity, the facilitator had passed away. Also, all these places that I should have written to were a bit much for me. I am more a less a type that gets familiar with one site at a time.
 

Sharing Video

K, let's get this process overwith.
 
My blog engine won't let me embed the videos, which I know because I embedded them and they did not show. I will provide the links insted.
 
Here is a video of how to play the blues guitar shuffle. I found this one from Expert Village, but the site did not provide a direct link for embedding (I could have cut the vid from the script and pasted it in here, but that might have been a little harsh) so I searched the same vid from YouTube since it does provide the links for embedding.

Sharing Audio

This assigment drove me nuts.

Taking and Sharing Pictures

Sharing photos is a must-to-do these days. Personally I have not been that active on this area even though I am very aware of the means and software that relates to it. I was already familiar with all the photo editing software that this assignment did introduce as well as most of the services provided (Flickr, Google etc.). I use Picasa with my students to store and archive photos.
 
My students also use several other Finnish Flickr-type sites for publishing and for reference and to get feedback , for example these:
 

Copyright and Alternatives

Professor Lawrence Lessig is new acquaintance to me which I am very shamed of. Particularly about the "new" part of it. Where have I been the last 10 years? However, I must thank the course facilitators to guide me to his ideas.
 

Philosophical Background

Age of Enlightenment was a time of renewing the European social life and culture. The thinkers of the enlightenment put reason before mysticism and democracy before autocracy. The movement grew on intellectual and scientific development of the past centuries and created the basis for several revolutions and other more peaceful movements like liberalism.
 

Wikiversity contribution

First of all, sorry about my blog posting this late.
This is my short story how I contributed to Wikiversity.
 
I started this assigment from the LeMill. I created my LeMill user profile and aimed to take a part in some already established project there as well as providing my own project. But alas, when I would have had time to finish this LeMill was down (and currently is so I cannot provide the link to my user profile there.
 

Commentary about open education projects online

AAARGH!
I just wrote some hundreds of words of commentary about all the example sites directly to my blog editor and guess what? Somehow the page updated itself and the text was gone just like that. This makes me feel like screaming. And crying.
A few lines and the to bed.
