I really enjoyed watching "Lost" in class this week! I am very tempted to buy the seasons on DVD. Not only did I like watching "Lost", but I also enjoyed the activity that went along with it. Rather than just watching the film for content, it was fun listening to the sounds and music, watching for different cuts, thinking about the lighting...etc... I think this is a great activity for out students! I could really change the way they watch films and television, not to mention a great way to write a paper with great content!

So get this, I was talking to my 15 year old cousin Paige, and I asked her if she has done any blogging. Apparently, She has 4 different blogs!! One with a few of her friends, she uses one as a journal that no one can read, one for a class, and one that just her dad reads so he knows what she has been up to. I never though about using a blog like this! Her parents are divorced, and her dad communicates with her via blog because they do not always get the chance to talk on the phone. HOW FUN! There are sooo many ways to blog!

Last year, I became addicted with a video blog. Have you ever heard of Ross the Intern from the Jay Leno show? Wee, he is a fun loving guy who loves Jay Leno, and loves doing a video blog. He blogs everyday except Saturday and Sunday. His blogs are honestly about absolutely nothing. He talks about what is on his mind and is very honest. He is absolutely HILARIOUS!! WE SHOULD MAKE A WEEKLY VIDEO BLOG IN CLASS!!! That would be fun, huh.

  1. I really like using blogs to communicate with relatives that you can't talk to all the time. That's really smart!
