In addition, the taxonomy allows me to evaluate student’s progress in the workshops and gives them the skill sets they need to produce better television programs.

media type="custom" key="4423467" The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing.

Reflection on "USnow" video __3 things I want to remember and how it impacts my thinking__

1.“A revolution doesn’t happen when society adopts new tools. A revolution happens when society adopts new behaviors” a.I like to think that because of what I’m doing with the Public Access TV station, people in Monroe County will change their way of viewing things, their behaviors and attitudes will also change because of the diverse points of view they now have access to because of this new media.

2.“Cost of sharing information with people is outweighed by the benefit of other peoples experiences and personal knowledge” a.I am hopeful that people will begin to share more information with each other more freely, and use the tools PCAtv will give them to change their lives for the better. It’s not just a television station, it’s an electronic relovution. There are many ways which we are going to help shape the community through various types of electronic media…podcasting, distance learning, video conferencing, and the list goes on and on and on.

3.“Power to control community via online technologies is increasing as TRUST of government decreases” a.__We__ are the government. WE elect officials into office to represent us. WE give them the power to make social change on our behalf. New technology and new media allows us more direct control of how these elected officials represent us. Just like the soccer team (football club) allowed fan “ownership” so should emerging technologies allow us to take back “ownership” of our government(s).
