Mix your video with the community

Dale

eyespotIn a hurry to edit your video clips? Try EyeSpot. Similar to the online video sharing services that I reviewed a few weeks back, EyeSpot has the following unique features:

  • editing— trim and mix clips; add titles, transitions and effects
  • use other people’s clips in your video
  • download your final video

The service was a little slow. It took a while to upload files and trim clips. However, the ability to use other people’s clips is really neat. For example, I don’t have any clips of an explosion but the EyeSpot community had several.

EyeSpot is a fun tool and worth a look.

Net Neutrality: who’s for it, who’s against it

Dale

On June 28th the Senate rejected the Net Neutrality provision.

Who’s for Net Neutrality?

  • Tim Berners-Lee writes, “When I invented the Web, I didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission. Now, hundreds of millions of people are using it freely. I am worried that that is going end in the USA.” [full story]
  • Watch a quick video from Rocketboom.
  • Craig Newmark, from Craigslist.com, speaks on NPR (listen now)
  • Listen to Senator Barak Obama’s podcast
  • me (hence the lopsided comparison)

Who’s against Net Neutrality?

  • Telecom representative Scott Cleland speaks on NPR (listen now)
  • Hear Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) talk against net neutrality

Without Net Neutrality could access to services like United Streaming and Cosmeo be restricted in the future? As educators, many of us understand how access affects the digital divide.
