Dancing!!

The reason why I choose this video was the fact that I love dance. The art of dance has been in existence from the beginning of time. The freedom of movement and expression is limitless! Check out the clips and you will know what I mean.

YOUTUBE!!!

It is truly amazing that the body can move like these guys. I love breakdancing! It has no limits!!! Check out the videos for yourself and you will agree. I could use this in my classroom to download great performances in my class of specific students onto the blog that I will be using to communicate with the parents this coming year. The kids would love the idea!!

Podcasts!!!

Aloha,
Just added a RSS feed to my bloglines about personal fitness and a ESPN news podcast. I had no idea that there were so many podcasts. So much information and so little time. I searched for personal fitness through the podcast site and found some very interesting workout routines. I think I will continue listening to some of the sites so that I can use some of the ideas in my lessons. WOW! The longer I am in this technology class, I am finding out more tools and information that I never knew existed. I am beginning to love all the new tools that I can use to better myself personally and my classroom.

Searching Technorati

Using different ways to search for specific subjects provided different results. I searched for the word Kinesiology is the 4 different ways (Posts, Blogs, Photos, Videos) and clearly saw how much info was out there in the Blogosphere World! WOW! Amazing!Blogging has hit mainstream. No doubt about it. I did not realize that blogging was so popular. I had heard about it from a few friends before our class started but these numbers below are startling. I thought for sure that the amount of people on facebook doubled the amount of people blogging. I was wrong. People sharing their thoughts on all kinds of subjects. Could be a great tool if USED PROPERLY. A great site to search for friends and for common interests of those in the Blogging world.

comScore MediaMetrix (August 2008)
  • Blogs: 77.7 million unique visitors in the US
  • Facebook: 41.0 million | MySpace 75.1 million
  • Total internet audience 188.9 million

Is Del.icio.us delicious?

Aloha,
It was totally delicious! I always hated working on other computers except my personal labtop BECAUSE it didnʻt have my bookmarks of the websites that I am always on. The convenience of having this website that has them organized for me, which in turn allows me to access them from any computer is great. The feature that allows you to share websites of common interests is wonderful. Can you imagine the possibilities in terms of our research efforts. I will love to hook up to the sites that my professors and cohorts use frequently. It would save alot of time and effort searching for information needed if we all shared the specific sites that we all found useful. The networking power is endless. That is the Marvelous thing that I have found from our class in the past few weeks. The technology allows us to help one another in a way that a previously impossible. TEAMWORK! WE SHOULD ALL BE USED TO THAT CONCEPT!
P.s.
I already have my account set up with all my favorites! :-)
