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.

Assessing Assestments 4/23/09

What i still need to get is the book and i still need to find an interviwe, that i see that will be creadible, and interview him via youtube messages.

I believe that i might still need to asses my resources again so i can get more from them and see if they will or not be useful.

resources reflections 4/23/09

I found my resources at the sjsu website. i used one of the search tools and looked under newspapers and articles and i found like three there. One of them i found just on the web and it turned out to be an entry on blogger. The interview i am going to do online messaging a person and asking them questions. This person is going to be a user that has an account on youtube. The book i tried searchin at the library but i have still had no luck.

Research has altered my idea in focusing me more on the topic based on the things that i find. It actually has kinda made me think more about the topic and seeing if i could get more insight about what i am going to write about.....

Blog of youtube 4/20/09

http://spongebob-resources.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-youtube-is-so-popular.html

This blog that i found comes from blogger.com and i see it as a relieble source because it is someones opinion of why youtube is so popular. Also the information that is on there seems to be correct from what i know about youtube so i see it as useful information. Even thought this might be some ramdom person, that is what i am looking for, somone who will tell me why they use and post videos on youtube. So i believe this blog has some useful infotmation that i can use.
