I can’t believe this course is finished already! As I reflect, I’m amazed as how much I have learned in such a short period of time. Looking back through my post for this course and rereading my Coetail cohorts’ posts has really helped me further develop my personal philosophy of education, specifically in regards to …

When I think about education, knowledge, art and creativity, or simply communication and collaboration; I don’t think there is a more powerful resource than the internet.

This was a fun project, but took much longer that I expected. My video camera is new and captures video in a variety of resolutions. Since I plan to mostly work with high definition, progressive scan footage in future projects; this is what I used for this project. Not that you can tell from this …

I originally started writing this post as a response to Coetail’s Course 2 – Week 1 assignment. But it just started to grow out of control with a personal connection to the week’s topic: copyright in the digital age. So, I decided to refocus a post for that assignment, but I still want to share …

There’s no doubt about it. I am guilty of acquiring copyrighted material illegally for my own personal entertainment. You aren’t? I love movies, television, music, and video games. I have been a consumer of these forms of media for as long as I can remember. I would venture to say that a good percentage of …
