SOUND!

Alright, I know this is technically still a video, since it shows an image while there's audio playing... but.. it's known more for it's audio.

I stumbled upon it in the past, and I thought it was really neat, so I'd like to share and cite it.

VIDEO!

One of my favourite endings from one of my favourite movies. If you HAVEN'T seen Fight Club yet, you're missing out, and DON'T click the link, it may spoil it for you.

Reflection - (Questions from Mr. Powell's website)

1. What did I do in class today?

Today in class I learned how to cite sources. From citing images, sound, and even video, I now know how to cite sources properly for educational purposes.

2. What did I learn?

The proper format on how to properly cite sources.

3. What did I find interesting?

I found it interesting that no matter what media you are citing, you HAVE to present a date that it was created or accessed.

4. What questions do I have about what I learned?

How do you cite other forms of media? such as Javascript, Flash, etc?


5. What connections did I make to previous ideas or questions?

This new found knowledge will help me cite sources if I do plan on making a blog in the near future.

  1. That sound clip is insane! Good work on the citations - 6/6

    I would guess for citing Flash you could cite it like a video. Not sure about Javascript but a direct link would probably suffice.
