You
Tube and Vimeo are two of
the Web 2.0 video
hosting sites that can be used by anyone and posted onto any web
page. Take a moment to join and become familiar with
the two hosting sites. Basic sign up is free on both sites.
If you’ll remember from our Module 1 reading: “Stress
Reduction,” tip number 6 was to “If possible, go
outside at least once per day and notice the simple things such
as weather, scenery, etc.”
During our on-line courses and educating, it can often be
difficult to find this time to get outside. Watching this
video, “Murmuration”
by Liberty Smith and Sophie Windsor (which can be found in both
hosting sites) helped to provide the outside nature break I have
needed. It promoted an awe-inspiring sense of wonder and
nature right on my laptop!
Oh, NO! The outdoor-world as we know it has just been
DESTROYED! Our group is now forced to live in a society
that is completely restricted to indoor-living, with only one
video of the outdoor world to keep as a memento!
It is your task to find the ONE video that will aid in the
outdoor-relaxation process that is no longer available for our
sane survival as a group!
To begin your task, search between the two video hosting
sites, Vimeo and You
Tube, and choose a video that you feel creates the best sense
of outdoor relaxation. Post your video link into our
discussion group telling:
- What the title is
- Who designed it
- How the audio and video affects transmitted a sense of
outdoor relaxation in you
-
Why you feel YOUR video should be selected as the one
memento of the outdoor world that we get to keep!
After viewing your group members’ video selections, you need to
respond to each member by:
- Providing a comment or two about their video choice
-
Respectfully defending why YOUR video should be the selected
video to preserve the sanity of our restricted “indoor-world”
group!
I hope you have a relaxing time!
