    YouTube is the Devil, Video: Weeks 11-12

    by
    This week, I learned to hate YouTube. I did not mean to end up hating YouTube, it just happened. After uploading two of this week’s videos and getting copyright violation notices, which I then fought due to Fair Use, I logged into YouTube to discover I had been sent to YouTube’s Copyright School. Copyright school […]

    The Rebirth of Owen Harper

    by
    The Rebirth of Owen Harper from bellekid on Vimeo. When I set out to do the Return To The Silent Era assignment, I did not plan to include fanservice in my video, but as I started working on my title cards, I knew that it had to be done. As a Torchwood fan, I know that one […]

    During spring 2013, I used this blog to host a project I executed for a graduate school course, in which I investigated the practice of a select population through their online activity during a period of time that roughly began … Continue reading

    Regretful Revenge

    by
    I was more than a little horrified when my intended-to-be-silly, inspired-by-The-Princess-Bride daily create about revenge was posted last Monday. But such is the nature of terrorism – you can’t anticipate and plan your week around it. So I decided to … Continue reading

    Post ETMOOC -April

    by
    So I promised a more analytical response of why etmooc was so valuable as a learning process and here it is. What is interesting is that even though I am no longer in the weekly/biweekly task mode for etmooc, as a post etmooc blog group member our grou...

    Supper and this week’s updates

    by
    It’s been such boring week. Couldn’t hit the gym all week because I had a flu and a cough and was feeling all chilly and feverish. Instead, I stayed home and researched on nutrition. Yes, can you believe it? I’m still at it after several weeks. I can’t seem to get enough of reading information […]

    Moving Mashup

    by
    In Doctorow’s novel Pirate Cinema, the main character is obsessively driven to create and transform a video “mashup from something trite and obvious to something genuinely moving”. It’s a great complement to this week’s ds106 remix challenge. Jonathan Worth, the brilliant prof behind #phonar, has released all his great Cory Doctorow photographs under a creative […]

    Random Musing: Pumped-up Kids

    by
    I felt really uncomfortable when I first had a glimpse of these photos.. Soft winsome faces atop chiseled frames were OTT odd for me (More photos here). These photos made me recall how much I abhorred muscularity and vascularity as a kid. Perhaps I thought bodybuilders looked scary and intimidating and gave me an uneasy feeling. But as I […]

    Popeye: Cartoon Inspiration for Muscles

    by
    Protein is typically the nutrient associated with muscle-building and recovery amongst weight-lifters. There are tons of protein options available (chicken, beef, tofu…), but I began to wonder if there were any non-proteins which can be beneficial in my weight-lifting journey… The immediate imagery was of Popeye popping a can of spinach and growing all big […]

    Horizon

    Horizon

    Een gedeelte van een werk van Picasso om de techniek te laten zien van lijnenspel en kranteknipsets, beeld en tekst. Waarbij de tekst hier voornamelijk (maar niet uitsluitend) een picturale funktie heeft.  Ik heb Picasso op z'n kant gezet.

    A Wonder for My Mental Beach-ETMOOC

    As Christina Hendricks first said "This is my love letter to ETMOOC"It is hard to believe that three months have gone by and that ETMOOC has passed so quickly. If you had said to me on New Year's Eve that, "2013 would be the year you fully reconnect wi...

    Further reading recommended by EDCMOOC tutors

    by

    On Saturday Martin asked during the Twitterchat about further reading for those who have been on edcmooc...



    Q3 Would like an extended reading/viewing list from the 'professors'. #edcmchat
    — Animal My Soul (@MisterSoul2) March 9, 2013
     

    Some were unaware that Sian Bayne had already posted "A short reading list for continuing #edcmooc" on Feb 28th. All her suggestions are linked to make it easy.

    Since then, both Hamish Macleod and Jeremy Knox have responded to the question...


    @elenizazani Reading?"Rainbow's End" comes recommended.:-) "Natural Born Cyborgs" by Andy Clark @andydmmitchell @j_k_knox @jar
    — Hamish Macleod (@hamacleod) March 10, 2013

    More details can be found on Wikipedia for Rainbow's End and a video of Andy Clark speaking about 'Natural Born Cyborgs' can be found here on Vimeo.


    RT @andydmmitchell: further reading #edcmooc what about 'Alien Chic: posthumanism and the other within' Neil Badmington
    — Jeremy Knox (@j_k_knox) March 11, 2013



    Alien Chic can be found on Amazon.



    RT @andydmmitchell: further reading @elenizazani or perhaps 'Actor-Network Theory in Education' Tara Fenwick and Richard Edwards (2010)
    — Jeremy Knox (@j_k_knox) March 11, 2013



    A quick search reveals a YouTube video in 'Plain English' about Actor-Network Theory, plus Wikipedia has an entry for it. I haven't watched it all yet so please let me know if it is worth keeping. If you prefer to go straight to the book, it's here.




    If any more tutors respond then I will add them to this post... or if you have your own suggestions, feel free to add them to comments and I will add those to the blog too :)
