Week 4: YouTube
Now that I figured out YouTube, this could be a lot of fun. I was able to post videos of my husband singing "Having A Bad Day" Alvin & The Chipmunk style, and then I went ahead and added some other videos that I took recently. I searched Fresno Pacific University and came up with numerous results, I found two that were particularly interesting. The first was a video on FPU's Aquatics and there were speeches made by many of the athletes as well as Coach Bryan and Coach Peter, the other video I found was one of my track athletes dancing. It was hilarious. But there was a lot of useful things that I found on YouTube as well, I search Athletic Training and things that came up were information about Athletic Training programs at certain schools, examples of rehabilitation techniques, and how to perform certain evaluations. I find that this website will be most beneficially than the previous because more people know about this website.
I chose the video that is placed upon this blog because it is my own personal video. I have taken videos numerous times and have always wanted to share the videos with friends and family and now that i know how to do that, I thought I would like to share this video that I took of my husband. I am a big fan of the new Alvin & The Chipmunk DVD and really enjoy the opening song which is Having a Bad Day, and my husband decided to sing to me, so I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. Enjoy!
Week 4: Technorati
Technorati another site where you can look up peoples blogs, videos, photos, and etc. I like this site because it has everything, it separates things by videos, tags, photos, and blogs. It defiantly makes things easier when searching. I looked up kinesiology and the search engine came up with various things, it was nice to go from the blog section to the video and photo section. I particularly liked the video and photo section because many people posted things that were related to kin either photos of injuries or videos on how to perform a certain rehab technique. It defiantly will help me when I need a better example on how to explain a rehab technique or do a certain test. Sometimes just reading it in a book doesn't help.
Its cool to know that Technorati keeps track of all the blogs out there and is all under one roof, instead of looking up this blog or that blog.

Week 4: Del.icio.us
I explored Del.icio.us the other day and thought that it was rather interesting. I find that Del.icio.us is familiar in that it is like your favorites section on your Internet Explorer, but the cool thing about it, is that you can be viewing something and want to re-call it later on and you can post it to your account. It seems like an easy way to find numerous information at a fast past instead of streamlining through your favorites or surfing the web.
This website can be very useful in my profession because in the search engine I can put Athletic Training and nearly 470 results come up. These results range from articles about athletic training, new rehabilitation techniques, health topics such as increase body size and mass in a healthy manner, and of course the many different sites of athletic training organizations. For example the NATA (National Athletic Training Association), NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association), and etc. The options that Del.icio.us provides is endless. This can be a quick and easy way to receive information about and for my career.

Week 3: Web 2.0 Awards
Hey this is a neat site. Check out this site: http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0
This site gives you the opprotunity to check out the most awarding sites that are out there. You can view entertainment, music, games, classifieds and directors, etc. I personally enjoyed looking over the classifeid and directories section and the city guide section, these sections held craigslist and yahoo local. Before I moved to Fresno I used craigslist to find a home in fresno, and then recently I have been doing research on jet ski's with craigslist. Yahoo Local I also use to find fun and interesting things to do in Fresno such as good resturants and local events. By using Yahoo Local I have been able to go to the Vintage Days, Clovis Big Hat Days, and Clovis Fest...I look forward to other many cultrual events in Fresno. This is an awesome site that I can forsee using in my career for a quick look up of the most common places in Fresno and each have stars that tell you what the reviewers thought of those sites. I cannot wait to see when Web 3.0 comes out as well!!

Week 3: Google Docs
Hi! My name is Tina, I work ... The following is my weblink to what I wrote in my Google Docs. This website looks a lot like Microsoft Word, it is an interesting website that would allow users to use an online version of word without paying for it. If i was a starving college student with no money to afford Microsoft Word I would totally use this program. Though I believe most computers are equipped with Microsoft Word for a certain period of time. Would I use Google Docs in the future, naw. I'm so used to using Microsoft that I will continue to use that for a long time.
Week 3: RSS Assignment
Wow! At first this RSS assignment was confusing but towards the end I understood it a little bit more. The idea of going to one site to view everything that interests you is awesome. I agree with some people how they state they go online for 5 or more hours trying to look at all the sites that they really enjoy, this way you only need to go to one site. I can see this site being helpful in my professional career as an Athletic Trainer because I can view the most recent rehab technique or any new news on prevention, there are endless opportunities. Recently, I subscribed to a few fellow students in KIN 710 blogs, I subscribed to Fresno weather, CNN News, NATA blogs and updates, and of course I subscribed to a few fellow students that have a Flickr account. I think though after this class I will trash all the extra feeds and stick with things that involve Athletic Training more.

Week 2: Article Review 3: Social Softawre in Education
Ferdig, R. E. (2007). Editorial: Examining Social Software in Teacher Education. Journal of Technology & Teacher Education, 5-10
The following article discusses a teacher learning about a student’s extra curricular activities via Facebook and how teachers need to incorporate technology in the classroom. Teachers need to begin teaching students the good, bad and ugly of technology. The good parts of technology is that it is easily accessible, the bad would be how employers, teachers, parents can view students web pages and find inappropriate things that can be used as a fuel to punish that student, the ugly is the pure fact that there are online predators out there and have caused problems with teens. The most interesting thing about this article was the argument that teaching doesn’t always have to involved being confined to a desk or virtually all online, there are still many ways to teach students by using games, educational field trips, and the pure fact of doing what your learning in a lab.
I have had friends that had to change their profiles via Facebook or MySpace because of a certain job interview or I have had friends change their status on these online social networks to private so that certain individuals didn’t have full access to their profiles. Most of the social networking software has privacy privileges which are very impressive because it is true you can access basically anything online and can view anyone. I use some privacy privileges on my MySpace or Facebook because I only want to stay in contact with friends or family that I approve of; and I typically don’t approve people that I do not know. This article gives reasons of why technology is important and gives out some reasons why individuals can be weary of technology. In the end, technology is inevitable and people must adapt to it or else they will be left behind in society.
