  • CareerBuilder, Jobster, and MyWorkster, have a section of your profile where you can include video.
  • Dress professionally in business attire, just as if you were going to an in-person interview. Keep your video resume short: one - three minutes. Look at the camera not at the desk or table below you. Don't speak too fast. Make sure there isn't any background noise and that the wall behind you isn't too busy. Practice what you're going to say ahead of time. Start by mentioning your name (first and last). Focus on your professional endeavors, not your personal ones. Discuss why you would be a good employee and what you can do for the company that hires you. Thank the viewer for considering you for employment.

  •  
    Great tips on video resumes. How to make them as well as why they help.
  •  
    Video resumes are different than a Typical resume because you're actually the one in front of the camera and speaking about who you are and what you do. This is a lot different and I would say harder then writing your information on a piece of paper. But the advantages of this are they can see you for who you really are and not what's written on a piece of paper. A disadvantage of this is that you have to make sure you pin point your audience is and that can be difficult at times. When writing something on a paper it's easy to address certain people but when you are actually in front of someone or in front of a camera you have to work a little harder to present yourself in the right way.

    D#13 HW#1--push fave web resource that will help you improve your Wordpress course blog: **This is a good one because it extrapolates on the "design" portion of a blog. It indicates what turns people off about blogs and how they can be more attractive design-wise. For instance uploading your photo is a big plus. It's a Do's and Don'ts on blog design so to speak.
  •  
    This was my second favorite of the sites that I visited. This site shows the design mistakes that bloggers often make. It haves ten mistakes, explains why they are mistakes and weaknesses. I found this all very helpful, and I found it to be a very useful list of 'rules' to help one make a successful blog.

    D#7, HW#6-- I thought this website was useful because it had a LOT of information about copyrights and the internet. It discusses plagiarism, how long copyrights last, and even what you can and can not do when creating a webpage. Great information to know for Project #2.
  •  
    This web page does a great job at breaking it down simply. It explains what copyright is, how long it last, as well as what you can and cannot do with it. It specifically goes into what is copyrighted on the internet and what you can put on your page and what you cannot put on your page. This I believe would greatly benefit us for this class knowing what exactly we can and cannot do.

D#7 HW#6 Respecting Copyright - 0 views

  • Briefly review subjects covered in last lesson: plagiarism, proper citation and paraphrasing, honesty and trustworthiness in school research and writing.
  • “Who owns copyrighted materials such as movies, music, and web pages?” Tell students that the copyright owner is the person who created the work, e.g. author, musician, artist, computer program/game creator, scientist-inventor, business person, etc.
  • Next ask the class if they are familiar with the Happy Birthday song. Inform them that this song is protected by copyright
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Copyright is a form of legal protection given to the authors of books, music, movies, etc. Users of the books may not make copies without permission from the authors except in limited occurrences for school and personal use where there is no profit involved. This limited use is known as Fair Use which we will talk about shortly.
  • The digital aspect of the web allows for wonderful innovations such as MP3 players but ethical personal use must be employed to avoid legal punishment.
  • The RIAA, the professional organization which represents the recording companies, (Recording Industry Association of America), has reacted with copyright infringement legal actions against schools and college students. Have you noticed the warnings posted on music CDs or movie DVDs?
  • Now there are more legal ways for music customers to purchase their music online with services such as iTunes, Rhapsody, amazon.com, etc. There are even some legitimate free music download examples. For example, some unknown bands may provide free previews online. While other more popular bands or singers may post a sample tune for fans to hear for free.
  • Copyright and Fair Use, inform the students that the expert speaker is an attorney that helps students and professors at a university to learn about the ethics and Fair Use guidelines of copying digital information such as music, movies, or web content for school.
  •  
    This is a good example of how copyright is explained.  The comic shown in this article is very cute and original, gives us an idea of how we can copyright without knowing.

d 5 HW 1 - 1 views

  • Copyright subsists for a variety of lengths in different jurisdictions. The length of the term can depend on several factors, including the type of work (e.g. musical composition or novel), whether the work has been published or not, and whether the work was created by an individual or a corporation. In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years. In the United States, the term for most existing works is a fixed number of years after the date of creation or publication. In some countries (for example, the United States[44] and the United Kingdom[45]), copyrights expire at the end of the calendar year in question. The length and requirements for copyright duration are subject to change by legislation, and since the early 20th century there have been a number of adjustments made in various countries, which can make determining the duration of a given copyright somewhat difficult. For example, the United States used to require copyrights to be renewed after 28 years to stay in force, and formerly required a copyright notice upon first publication to gain coverage. In Italy and France, there were post-wartime extensions that could increase the term by approximately 6 years in Italy and up to about 14 in France. Many countries have extended the length of their copyright terms (sometimes retroactively). International treaties establish minimum terms for copyrights, but individual countries may enforce longer terms than those.[46]
