Youtube

I can all to easily identify with this clip! Bostons have an uncanny sense of their own "sins" when committed. And they are so good at making themselves look so absolutley pitiful that you have no choice but to smile and forgive. I thought i would share this clip because I have come home to wreckage close to this scale...not fun, but kind of funny...much later. Youtube, otherwise known as the black hole of the internet. I can NOT go on Youtube without spending at least an hour meandering through seemingly endless and usually meaningless clips. One way that I see this particular web 2.0 application as being helpful at the ALC is to have our students video themselves and each other working out math problems, posting to their blogs, brainstorming an essay, etc. Not only would it be accessible to our students, but it just might help someone else, too. Which is one of the great outcomes of all the technology developed over the last five to ten years: information sharing.
