Connectivism

     Today I saw a video about "connectivism" and how it affects students. The video explained how students are constantly expanding their personal learning network, and many new ways to do so. It was primarily focused on the many new advances in technology that can help students. I agree with this; there are many new tools available, especially on the Internet. Students can use bookmarking sites to keep track of useful information, or even find links to the best professors and institutions in the world. In this day and age, there are almost infinite ways that students can get and use information.

Video Uploaded, Finally

     So, two days ago, Anthony and I finished the editing for our video, and I am putting it in this post. I think it turned out pretty well. We decided to make it about something that was funny to us, and hopefully it is funny to you all as well. It took us a while to figure out the specifics of some parts, but we were able to figure it out. Now, without further ado, I present The Red Ring of Death, a Mersman/Meyer original. Please note: no video game consoles were harmed in the making of this video.

Video Did Not Upload

     I would have posted a blog entry yesterday, but I never got a chance to do so. I had a draft all typed up, but was waiting for our video to upload to YouTube so that I could put it in my post. Unfortunately, I was lied to by the computer, and the video was not uploaded. I will upload the video to YouTube and to this blog as soon as I have a chance. Thank you for waiting patiently for the video and it should be up some time tomorrow.

Video For Class

     My friend Anthony and I are making a video for our class. We are trying to make a pretty funny skit, but I don't want to give away any details until it is finished. After we get all the kinks worked out, I will post the video to YouTube, and here on my blog. We recorded most of the video yesterday, but will be recording the final touch-up clips after school today. We hope that it will turn out how we want it too, and that people will think it is funny.
