Weekly Thought

I was there at during the presentations. I was happy to see my classmates represent mindmeister and diigo. I also was interested in the portable keyboard and mouse. Why would students take turns using the keyboard. What good is it to only have one, when you want all the students to participate. I think I missed the whole point for that particular one.

With my classmates' project I am convinced their ideas can help me with writing any of my essays. I love the being able to clearly see my train of thought and fix quickly what doesn't fit. And I like their movie the best!!!

Video 2 Examination

This video listed the music and said what was changed. But it did not list at the end where they got their clips or pictures. And they did not cite the information about the earth. I feel I am being really picky! I love both these videos though.

Video 1 Examination

Just a great way to teach the students the presidents and show off some talent. The music was listed and the there was no research that needed to be cited. It even listed who participated.

Weekly Thought

Today in my Orientation to Dance Class, a presentation was given on Ballet and the history behind how it became more contemporary, then the classical pantomime style. The pictures look great and the information seemed right, but I did not see and sighting of resourses afterwards.

There were youtube videos shown, but only seconds of the videos. I was reminded of how graceful ballet can look, and how far it has split away from the traditional 1600's style ballet. But I am now more aware of how to get information since this is the subject I am majoring in. It would have been nice to know where the information came from. Even the info that was not on the presentation should have been sighted right?

Weekly Thought

This week in class we discussed copyright. Of course, many of us didn't know the rules exactly, and our knowledge on the subject was, site everything and do not plagiarize. I loved the movie in class Brother West showed. It left me more aware that copyright has a lot to do with integrity, and credit. Who is really the one who came up with the idea, and who should receive the credit of that work?

Later that week my composition teacher Caroline Prohosky, showed us a clip from a movie about the people who were working on the discovery of medicine for diabetics. In the end she said the awards were given to certain men, that did no take it, unless their assistants received the awards as well. These men made sure each person received the glory for their work.

In my studies in dance, and in my own personal choreography, I must be true to other peoples movement and not copy or take credit for something I did not create. I think many people justify bad choices like copying, which they shouldn't. There is no other way to be truly satisfied with your dance, when you know you created all of it.
