Interview for YouTube paper

Interview conducted 4/25/09

Conducter: Alfonso Rocha (Me)
Interviewee: Jesus Quiroz

Q: What do you think about Youtube?
A: Its a great video sharing search engine. It is great because the videos are free and there are many things you can see. It is also a great way to advertise your buisiness.

Q: YouTube first started as just a video sharing website. Do You think YouTube has changed?
A: Yes YouTube has lost its true nature of just being a video sharing website. Now it has become something that people use to reach thier goals. They use it as a means of an end. It is used to get something for themselves. An example is musicians by putting up their music hopping to get discovered.

Class review 3/12/09

The revised version of the class differed in that we actually had to use computers in order to finish our home-works, which were blogs posts. Also we alternated from the boring room to the incubator once a week. Another difference was that we didn't read a book that we originally had to read with the old class structure.

I preferred the second version of the class because we did class in a different way instead of the old fashioned way. I also liked that we read but not a lot like we would have done in the old version of the class.

I believe that if more time was given for each essay to be written it would run much more smoothly. Also, it helps if grades were given because then that is how students know how they are doing. Personally i am kinda worried because i don't know the grade that i have. Also if students were given topics that they are more interested, writing a paper would be much easier for them. I know for me i did not like the budget cut essay so i had a pretty hard time writing that one.

I liked everything about it. i liked that we got to use computers and we learned how to take over the big screen tvs. I didn't dislike anything about the room everything was good.
