So far we have been working on a myriad of projects, all that reach different spectrums of the technology world. Firstly we created videos with CamStudio, a free software program that creates AVI files; then we uploaded them to YouTube. This proved to be quite a long task because the school server was having issues for about two weeks in December. In between all of this we have started our essays for IB, the proposal is in the previous post. This has proved equally as challenging as our YouTube endeavours, because school has been riddled with vacation for Christmas and New Years (though we did not have our term break yet).
For the essay, I have been heavily researching P2P file sharing systems, especially those that cater to music and file downloading. I don’t really understand the tech part of it entirely but the economics portion of the essay is going really smoothly. Basically we are going to be researching and learning about our respective topics until we reach our term break. There is a lot of research and technology in both of our topics; Kyra’s being virtual learning and mine being the online music industries.
After the term break, WordPress will become a bigger part of the class..
