What a cool website! I can go all over the web looking for cool pictures and other things that interest me, and "pin" them up onto boards that I specify. Not gonna lie, interest feels really girly to me. maybe that will change as the website gets bigger.
I think that this website has a lot of great potential for students to learn, it's a great place to find quality photos, possibly for group projects and things, also a great place for me to ask my students to tell me about themselves. I could see their pinterest boards and know a little more about them that I might have known before. In that sense, Pinterest is a great get to know you tool. I could also have them post pictures with captions that show what they've learned about the picture, or the person in a picture for a review game, or study help. I could have them review my boards with captions underneath to help them learn, possibly like flashcards or something.
Difficulty might arise in having them go looking around for pictures on the internet. That is getting more and more risky. But all in all, it's a great technology, and fun to work with.

I used the search terms "obvious copyright infringement"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NIYtxLjgzM
It's basically the music video for Lone Star's "Amazing" with a few modifications, like inserting photos of the creator's girlfriend. The beginning of the music video gives the information on who wrote the song, who produced the song, and under what label the album can be found under. The person who uploaded the video didn't create it for educational purposes, but used it for entertainment purposes. The material looked pirated, and I doubt that Lone Star granted permission for their music video to be used in this way, and that the video creator asked for that permission. The video creator may have used the video as an assignment for an editing class. But I doubt it. But, YouTube still has it up... So I guess my question is does YouTube view this as an artistic creation, that is covered under intellectual reserve or something? Because it's still up, and I've personally tried to look for Eagles songs on the internet, and some I can find, and some I can't.

This video is a montage of clips from the hit comedy "The Office." The clips were obviously put together by a fan of the show. But Here I am at the same question that I had on the other clip. If YouTube feels like it can stay up on their website, is it legal? does NBC care if the creator of the video is violating copyright? I feel like I'm really not good at even knowing where to look for someone violating copyright. One good thing; the guy does cite the source, he gives full credit to NBC in the video description. Maybe I'm making this harder than it has to be. .

Here's my website!
Here is the link to my website:
https://sites.google.com/site/tallred6/home-1
I put up a slideshow on the main page that has images pertinent to the courses I'm planning on teaching, I embedded a couple videos that were related to history teaching as well as how I felt about my students. I also put links up to some sites and things to make it a little more interactive.
