Youtube and Viddler

I have compared youtube and viddler using a venn diagram.

Copyright Laws in Canada For Music

In Canada copyrights for music don’t state that websites that you use to go from YouTube to mp3 are not allowed but they do say that you can’t download music of sites like mp3skull.com. I think that YouTube to mp3 websites should be illegal because if people keep downloading music from YouTube soon enough artists will stop putting music on YouTube, and then people won’t be able to watch the music videos that the artists have put on YouTube. Some of the YouTube to mp3 websites have been taken down and are becoming harder to use so people don’t use them as much anymore but one day they will be taken down.

Document Sharing

In this project we looked at several document sharing websites. We did the pros and cons of the websites and combined them together. 

Meeting Words

Meeting word is a good site for people to keep their work saved. The thing that impressed me the most was that on this site you can literally do anything from talking to your friends. The other thing I liked was it has a good connection. Most sites don’t have a good connection but this site is a master at this. Unfortunately every site has cons and the thing that disrupted me on this site was it is hard to understand but the rest about this site was good but overall it is a great site.

Titan Pad

Titan Pad is a good site for peeople work together with others over the web. The website is easy to work with and takes some features from microsft word which makes it easy to use. It does not require memberhip at all. But there were several problems with the connection the servers were slow I could not connect with other people. Which shows that the website is easy to work with but if you cant connect to other people it makes the website pointless.

Sync In

Sync.in is the easiest way to connect to teammates and to keep each other on the same team. Sync in is a great site that has everything thing that business workers need. In this site if you missed work you can rewind back and redo your work. Another thing I liked was you can send your work to your friend on twitter and Facebook. You can chat with your friends anywhere in the world. The thing I don’t like about this site is that if you put your work on public access there is a better way than any other site to copy someone’s work. In conclusion this is a great site.

-T.K.

Primary Pad

Primary pad is easy to use and its based on Microsoft Word.  It is free to use but the connection was horrible, you can’t connect to your peers which gives a huge inconvenience so you can’t really use it with other people so there is no point of trying to use it.

-T.G.

Show Document

Show Document is really easy to use and convenient for working with others on project and other group activities, there is many different things you can do on it such as using a whiteboard, File Share, Chat Translator, Google Maps, Chat Translator and many more, there is also fun things you can do on it like Tic Tac Toe and a game called Set.  Sometimes it is a bit slow but most of the time it’s a really good website to use.

Drop Box

Rack Space

Pirate Pad

Pirate pad is a duplicate copy of meeting words and titan pad, it works the same with the microsoft base it has the same connection as it meeting words so it atleast connects unlike titan pad. The part about pirate pad is that it is the same old boring titan pad and meeting words which doesnt make it unique so that is why I dont like pirate pad or titan pad.

Make your own slideshow with music at Animoto.

Creative Commons

Creative commons is a type of copyright that you use on your stuff so other people don’t claim it to be their own. If a file or work has a Creative commons license you have to do the following before using it:

·         Check the kind of license the product has.

·         Cite the product.

·         If it is someone’s music you cannot alter it and etc.

If you don’t want to go through all that trouble you can use the “ creativecommons.org” search to use it on project. The search allows you to find images, music and other stuff that doesn’t have Creative Commons license on it.  

I watched a video on infinite learning lab about online safety. In the video you learn about how a cat named Nermal gets a email from a stranger to meet up and trade comics, the person he meets up with is his enemy and he takes his collectors comic away but in the end he gets it back. The video teaches you how to be safe online they give you an example of being safe it is to not share your Y.A.P.P.Y which stands for Your Name, Addresses, Passwords, Phone Number, Your plans. The video shows that you should never share your yappy and be safe online.
