Wk 4 Reading Art of Possibility: Graduation



This book continues to bring awesome memories back from when I was in Jr. High and High School and how everything I went through as a band member is now helping me to be a great teacher.  Seriously, we should have started Full Sail University reading this book.  What I like about it the most

Week 4 Reading: Art of Possibility Pt3

Remove yourself from the possibility of becoming a victim of your situations. Step back and look at the framework and the end result desired; then search for possibilities that may will cause positive results. Look at the WE in the situation and the problem will become part of all and not just for the benefit of one.

Leadership Role Model? Interesting question. I thought about this for a while. I don't think that I have anyone in particular who I can say is my role model. I feel that the people

Wk 3 Reading- Rule #6


The reading for this week was very profound!  Rule #6 is a story that I would like to share with so many co-workers!  In fact I did.  I went to work the next day after reading the story and a co-worker had to deal with a very uncomfortable situation so I told her the story about rule

Week 3 Reading - Tearing Down Walls

http://social-creature.com/how-to-stand-in-the-face-of-powerlessness-for-a-new-generation

In Zanders’ Seventh Chapter of The Art of Possibility both Ben and Roz takes the reader on a “journey of possibility” by given examples and experiences that shows us how we take negative experiences and turn them into “walls” of challenges instead of paths toward our journey of possibility. The antidotal quotes and stories they use seem common sense, many of which we know. They have a way of helping you understand why it is “OK” to view the world from the “glass half-full”

Week 3 Reading: Art of Possibility Pt2

"The Art of Possibility" book is so fascinating and speaks some great truths. It enlightens your mind and brings about possibilities. In the seventh chapter The Way Things Are, it speaks about taking a situation and spinning it in a way that is not like how many have mentioned before. It speaks on how some things can not be changed or controlled but one can take their situation and find a solution that is suitable. This chapter allowed me to look at some of my situations and state the issue and then I actually finally found a solution. It was as the foggy storm just cleared up

Week 2 Reading Entry

Chapter 1 It's all invented. Wow, this book is amazing! Chapter one was about how we invent things about situations in our lives that are automatically fulfilled because we believe them. However, if we change our view to a positive one, we begin to see the situation in a whole new perspective. This chapter really caused me to

Wk2 Reading Blog: The Art of Possibility: Stepping into Life...

Yesterday I finished reading the first four chapters of "The Art of Possibility" and it blew me away.  I learned that we must be open to looking at live with a positive perspective.  We must open the possibility to us and those who are around us to do their best, to feel that we contribute to the bitterness of the people who are around us, to create a positive impact, and lasting impression to students, family, friends, etc.

Week 2 Reading: Art of Possibility Pt1

What a book! Not what I expected to have read. Possibilities... We all know that there are many but at times, we allow our situations to cloud our vision and see the possibility. This book provides you with the thought that changing the way something is perceived,

Week 2: Where to present?

As I was going through a list of conferences, I came across about six conferences that I feel would be best suitable. I was thinking, "Wow there are six I can choose from! That's great!" I thought that it was going to be difficult to locate a conference that would suit my research. Looking over the six conferences, I was able to narrow it to three. This is harder than I thought.

week 1 copyright

copyright. patent law. trademark. ugh. the first part of the videos was informative and depressing. being able to copyright things for such a long time seems like a drag for society. we seem to be able to move faster and evolve quicker but are not because of old thoughts and laws holding our society back. the second part of the videos gave a little hope with fair use, but with all the restrictions i would rather just skip it all together. this all was making my head spin until the last part of the videos creative commons.

I am a singer song writer so this is a very interesting topic for me.  I did not know that the length of a copyright was 70 years.  I do see where this can provide a problem with the current state of technology. A common practice in pop music is sampling. In music, sampling is the act of taking a portion, or sample, of one sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or a sound recording in a different song or piece. I was operating under some of the myths that were dispelled in the videos that Dr. Bustillos dispelled in his videos. This information leads me to want to dispel another copyright myth that is common among musicians. I have heard that if you mail a copy of your creation to yourself that is just as good as copy writing. I will have to research and see if this is true.

Week 1: Publish or Present


Publish or Present. When I first read the assignment, I flipped my wig and began to worry and stress to see the amount of work that needed to be done with the little time I have to get it all done. The first thing I did was

Week 1: Copyright Issues, PT1-3: Information Overload (To Copy or Not to Copy)


To copy or not to copy, that is the question. Copyright is a topic that many question and try to manipulate.  There are many who have played on the borderline of copyright. It is a topic that not many are aware of or find too boring to read about. In my current workplace, copyright and fair use are not really touched upon. It is only mentioned twice throughout the entire program and only for a brief moment. This is an area in which myself and the other instructors would like to increase knowledge of. At the current moment, the students only locate images by searching through the browser and using hi-res images only regardless what the copyright now might be on the image.
