Learn 2.0 week # 10

Podcast:
Learn 2.0 has been a great experience, it helped me explore further my knowledge about certain subjects. This week lesson is about podcast. I had to teach podcast for kids 2 days ago. Some extra info for the ones that LOVE podcast (not me!! to much bla bla) you can save your favorite podcast on Juice and update them regularly. For kids the OCLS site is the best, another good one is Nick.com kids can watch short episode of their favorite show.

How are you going to use your MP3 player?
Like Tom mentioned it in our TCSS meeting this morning. I am going to France (home) for two weeks for my wedding and the 13 hours fly one way will be much nicer in music!!

Thank you OCLS for learn 2.0.

Learn 2.0 week # 9

Ohhh La LA
I am confused we have been debating all week about the copyright matter.... I understand and agree with both sides. One say that we should all buy our songs and use it only for ourselves, the other side say music should be free with no restrictions.
Well I have not bought all the Cd's I own... let say that I have a lot of burn CD, but don't I have the right to burn my own Cd? after all I payed for it, Why can't I make my friends a compilation of great songs? Or they bought the best CD ever can they make me a copy? NO because of copyrights...... who follows that????

Learn 2.0 Week #8

We did the Flickr project as a department (CRC) our pictures should be up tomorrow (06/14/07).

I was browsing on 2.0 and watching a video and they talk about this site where you can make a 1800 phone call, speak your message and receive it as an email.
This is a great site www.jott.com and it works, even for me with my accent.

Now we all need to make a difference givemeaning give money to needy people or cause, you can choose from everything to anything.

Les Fleurs du Mal - Charles Baudelaire

This is one of my favorite poeme, it about the relationship of men and the ocean.

L'Homme et la Mer

Homme libre, toujours tu cheriras la mer!
La mer est ton miroir, tu contemples ton ame
Dans le deroulement infini de sa lame
Et ton esprit n'est pas un gouffre moins amer.

Tu te plais a plonger au sein de ton image;
Tu l'embrasses des yeux et des bras, et ton coeur
Se distrait quelquefois de sa propre rumeur
Au bruit de cette plainte indomptable et sauvage.

Vous etes tous les deux tenebreux et discrets;
Homme, nul n'a sonde le fond de tes abimes;
O mer, nul ne connait tes richesses intimes,
Tant vous etes jaloux de garder vos secrets!

Et cependant voila des siecles innombrables
Que vous vous combattez sans pitie ni remords,
Tellement vous aimez le carnage et la mort,
O lutteurs eternels, O freres implacables!
