    I knew almost nothing about all of these topics but I learned a lot from the insightful information and the cool videos! Thanks for sharing!

    This was a great website with lots of useful information about folk and popular music. I learned a lot from this awesome site about the wide variety of folk culture music from the cool videos and descriptions.

    I've always "liked rock" but never really knew that much about it. The British Invasion reminds me of the theme of diffusion.
  • edietterick on 14 Nov 14
     
    I liked learning about all of your different musical preferences and how they have all evolved over the years! Its all very fascinating! (and PS Noah, you said Skillet instead of Skrillex at the top of your page.)
  • fruszkowski on 14 Nov 14
     
    I like how your website views on the preferences of multiple people and then gives a brief history on how that music diffused into pop culture.

    I liked how your website was very organized and easy to navigate. I also liked how you talked about how the music genres diffused from folk culture to popular culture.

    Music has become a part of everyday culture for people throughout the world, so where did it come from? Find out through maps, as well as pictures, and hear some of the unique music that can be found throughout the world!

    I love the quote and pictures on your website! I also like how you found a song and video for each style of music. Your site looks really nice!
  • nwalseman on 13 Nov 14
     
    Really cool. Where did you get the ideas for some of these genres? Oh, and the modern pop video has been removed or something.
  • lqmorris on 13 Nov 14
     
    I didn't even know some of those genres existed. Very interesting to know the roots of the music. (*sigh* It's oo bad I didn't get to play any jazz improv for you).

    I think your website is very informative especially with all of the pictures and videos. It looked really nice!

    I love the diagram on the your home page. It's really neat! Your site is also well organized and very informative. Awesome job!

    I really like the picture at the very bottom of the home screen (with the continents made out of music notes). And I really enjoyed listening to the numerous, numerous styles you chose. The throat singing was my favorite, obviously. You need to learn how to do that. Maybe you'll get extra credit!
  • mholbert on 13 Nov 14
     
    Your site looks amazing! There is so much information and I like all the videos you guys added. Yodeling follows the folk culture characteristics and how folk music is about everyday life events.
  • jlandis3 on 13 Nov 14
     
    You guys did such a great job! It was very organized and incorporated great images and color! One connection I noticed in your work that we learned in our class activities, when we take notes from the book, is that the image on the Home page that shows how different styles of music are related, was similar to the one found in the book and used similar music style names like funk and hard house.
  • mdamschroder on 14 Nov 14
     
    This site is fantastic and very informative! It's great at showing how different genres can develop in different places at the same time and how popular culture can spread all over the world.
  • baileyanderson on 14 Nov 14
     
    Your site is really well organized. I like all the information about the different genres. My favorite thing was the maps that showed how music moved through time.

    Anyone enjoying the World Cup?  Check out this site about the stadiums.  Which theme(s) of geography are you reminded of when you read the stadium descriptions? Is it region, movement, globalization, nature-culture, cultural landscape or any combinations? Which stadium(s) are most likely preferred by certain teams? Who might prefer certain stadiums and why? .... Let's get a discussion going, APHUG!

  • Michael Anti (aka Jing Zhao) has been blogging from China for 12 years. Despite the control the central government has over the Internet -- "All the servers are in Beijing" -- he says that hundreds of millions of microbloggers are in fact creating the first national public sphere in the country's history, and shifting the balance of power in unexpected ways.
  • Michael Anti (Zhao Jing), a key figure in China's new journalism, explores the growing power of the Chinese internet.

    This is a fascinating TED talks video about social media in China. Watch this video and learn how China blocks and clones social mediums such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

    More than a dozen Republicans and a handful of Democrats have announced they are running for their party's 2016 presidential nomination. Page lists all the Democratic and Republican candidates. The page has links to mini articles describing what each person must do to win and why they won't succeed.

    This is a useful resource. Which theme(s) of geography might be demonstrated by these candidates attempting to persuade citizens to vote for them?
  • khurley18 on 23 Aug 15
     
    Mobility- The campaigns demonstrate how ideas are moved to different areas as well as techniques to persuade people to accept the ideas. In this case the idea being spread is to vote for a certain candidate over another for various reasons.
