Web 2.0

After viewing Wesch's work (especially "The Machine is Us/ing Us"), it seems like a good idea to begin bringing in some additional words/ideas/examples of Web 2.0 culture.

Social Networking in Plain English

Social Media in Plain English

RSS in Plain English

Wikis in Plain English

Twitter in Plain English

What about Twitter? "Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?" (from http://twitter.com/)

Just a start. So many others, including Facebook, MySpace, Live Journal, etc. 

Windows Movie Maker

Thursday, 2/19, we will begin working with video. The editing program we'll use is widely available and surprisingly easy to use. If you own a PC, you have Movie Maker. If you own a Mac, you have iMovie. These programs are quite similar.

A Windows Movie Maker Tutorial you might find useful.
