PTP Project Ideas
For my PTP projects I'm planning on exploring Pinterest and Diigo. Diigo has interested me from the beginning and I think it will be very valuable for any class I teach. Letting student follow things I'm finding for their classes and even following other things teachers find and vice versa will be very valuable. I am also trying not to get into Pinterest mostly because many people claim they are addicted. I don't have time to be addicted to something but if it's for a project, we'll see if I can get in an out quickly. I need to know what all the buzz is about too! I'm excited to learn these new technologies!

Copyright
I'm not a YouTube person so finding a video without any help other than critiquing the copyright was hard. But here we are, watching a short clip from Disney's Tangled.
I wish I knew more about YouTube from a copyright standpoint. We talked a lot about other websites but nothing about YouTube. People can post just about anything on here and there is nothing about where the song is from or anything. Where does this fall?
This is first of all, a hilarious video.This song is classic but at the end of the video there is nothing cited. Even if this person own's this song to upload it to youtube does it still need to be quoted? This video footage is also clearly not from a personal camera but most likely from ESPN. This video needs to cite this as well and fails to do so.
>This second video was found on teachertube.com. If a teacher were to show this in class it would probably be okay. It's very funny but also educational. It shows funny mistakes about math and could help a class feel at ease about upcoming math learning. It is probably also not the entire show. The teacher should however, let the students know where they got the video clip and hopefully the teacher owns the movie and is just showing a part of it. Otherwise, if it was found here it would need to be creative commons.

Google Site!
Here's the link to the website I made. It took a lot longer than I thought, mostly because I found it difficult to arrange the pages in the right order. I tried to make the picture of myself on the sidebar link to my informations but because I did that after I had written it, it didn't quite work. Making little errors helped me learn for myself though! My favorite think about this website is my embedded video...my husband and I filmed it and embedded it which also added to me trying to figure things out for myself. It was really quite the experience and now I know all these great things for the future. I tried to add the sandwich of the day gadget because it was truly the only thing that had to do with my subject area. Unfortunately it kept coming up as an error. I put C.S. Lewis quotes in there instead. He's always inspirational and I thought it would be a fun addition.
Websites are a great tool to communicate with your students and make sure your students stay up to date. It also shows them that you are involved in their world and can maneuver around. I loved this project!
