Intro to vlogging

Hi Everyone,

So, my understanding is that we're going to be using this blog to post links to electronic resources and a brief summary of our 2 assigned information technologies for the semester. Mine are vlogging and utube. In addition, we can post our thoughts and commentary on the readings, assignments and activities from class and/or other content we find relevant to the course and its learning objectives. I love technology and all the wonderful opportunities it affords. I am so excited about the content of this class and so looking forward to learning about all of these new information technologies!

The first information technology I've been assigned to this semester is vlogging or vodcasting. I am really glad that I've been assigned this particular information technology because I am already familiar with it. A good friend of mine vlogs and was actually interviewed about this very topic. We met at an internship we both did at the Cannes Film Festival. She was doing this years ago before I'm sure it was even really that popular. She lives in D.C. and she came to New York for a vlogging conference being held at someone's house. I went with her and had such a great time and met great people. They had live streaming and videoconferencing going on at this party, it was really cool. To my knowledge, vlogging is like blogging in that it is a record of daily occurences or life but in video format. It is actually much like making documentaries only your video clips don't have to all be on a certain theme or topic. You can record whatever you like. Anyway, enough of me talking about it...check out her site:
