I think that the University's assignment callender was better. It would be a better fit for A.I. The reason is simple. It's EASIER!! The RPC was much more complicated ( it still was not that bad) but comparing it to the U's, the university's was better.
I do see these as being useful, especially for a student with a heavy workload. When you have multiple assignments from different classes it is hard to keep things organized (for me). most college students use their computers everyday. so it would be easy to check up on your assignments. I can't really think of any specific things, but i could see myself using it if there is a period of time where i have a lot of projects.

thing 12 blahhhhhh!!!
I hate to sound like a negative nancy here but i have to be honest. I have not heard of this thing before, and really see no point to it. I can see it helping slightly for certain people, but speaking for the majority here i only see this as a waste of time and energy. personally i am able to find information pretty easily, so tagging is not for me. sorry!!!!!

i think that these slideshows are helpful, however i do not think that they are very practical to alot of people. For buisiness's it would be ideal, just because you are able to give a presentation across the country (or countries). Honestly i cannot see how this would be helpful to students (school related things) because its hard to picture a student giving a presentation via the web. Usually it is hands on. The tool that i used was easy to operate, and navigate. That was cool because no one wants to hunt around for stuff like that. The one problem i had was trying to paste the code into my blog!!!!! i uploaded my pictures, and created a slideshow but i couldn't find or figure out where to put it! Every place i tried it wouldn's show up, or allow me too. so that was kind of frustrating

The mash-up's are not really that important i think, for a job anyways. It can give you that extra edge though to make you or your profile stand out. It shows the people viewing it that you are creative, and have a creative mind for art (which is important) duhh. As far as photo sharing goes, i really don't have a problem with it. I really do not agree with the whole "royalty-free" aspect of images, because if someone puts an image on the internet, they know that certain people are going to take the image. but that's just me

Flickr is a good tool to use for school work, and in general. Usually i think me (and most people) if we need an image, go to google and search the web. But a cool thing about flickr is that they are usually more unique, royalty-free, and of a higher quality. its a great tool for any computer classes reltaed to my studies, because you cannot violate copyright laws in the "real world" a downfall about flickr is that it is not very specific. what i mean by that is that it would be hard to find images using flickr for lets say, An athlete or musician, or anything "specific". Dont get me wrong, i know you can, its just not nearly as many as you would find if you were using Google images. As far as privacy concerns, i really wouldnt put anything on the internet that i wouldnt want people to see. so i wouldnt have to worry about it, and i really dont think alot of people do. Personally i have used google images for as long as i can remember, and still will; however, i do like flickr and will probably use it in the future.

thang 8.. wiki wiki what?
I have mixed feelings about the wiki concept. I like it because it is relatively easy to find information on things that not alot of other resources would have, so thats good.. but i dont like the fact that people can edit information. Theres too many dumb people in today's world for someone NOT to mess with correct information, i don't like that aspect too well. I see why alot of educators ban wiki's as a reliable source of information, but not all wiki's are incorrect. as a matter of fact i have not ran into alot of problems with that, but i know its out there. if i were a teacher i would tell the student to compare with other articles if it doesn't seem accurate and it it is to be false, than PUNISH THEM!!! jk jk, i probably wouldnt do that.
