That was me! A Donkey on the EDGE! The stress of not doing well at all on my first ever uni assignment, combined with holidays and a looming first EVER essay had me sick. Yes, truly, upset tummy style, sick.
3 days out from the essay due date, I typed up an email ready to send, quitting Web101 and sending myself off to learn how to learn school. Fortunately, a few constructive positive words from one of the lovely ladies from the uni coffee shop Facebook page set me straight. I live to learn Web101 another day, and something that looks a little like an essay got submitted!
This week, for me (I'm a little behind!) was all about content sharing and content organising.
Over the development of the many Web 2.0 platforms content sharing has become almost second nature to web users. Content seems to be so easily broken down and reassembled in different ways and then shared that it highlights the need for a review of the concept copyright. Where does an artists right to hold their work separate from public property begin and end? Is it wrong to assume all re-use of an artistic piece is distasteful or incorrect? How can we support the arts if artists cannot make money from their works?
We also were introduced to http://www.bighugelabs.com/ and I created a (not so) motivational poster...http://bighugelabs.com/photos/5df987cc61fcc6447a36cf60cc6b5901/motivatorbad500242e9e688c16e028d5fe4b0d426105646c (I'm still learning the ways of bighugelabs.com - not sure how to get the poster to sit within the blog...)
I'm off to finish the Content Sharing readings, will have some excellent references & quotes next update!
cheers
Sarah
