1. I feel that this resource represents aesthetic education because it allows people from all over the world to place their works of art, whether they be songs, films, short films, stop motions, music videos, home videos, comedy sketches, favorite scenes from TV shows, etc. and share them with everyone who has access to a computer with internet access.

2. What I noticed about the specific resource that I have chosen to explore is that it really seems to show the public what ballet really is, a beautiful strength. It shows the hard work, power, poise, dedication, and grace it takes to be a ballet dancer. The music and movements in each shot of the video show the balance of beauty, strength, and soft-flow a ballerina floats onto the stage and it made me think about the hours of rehearsal that she/he endured to be the focal-point of a piece.

3. There have been many times during my high school and college career that a professor or a teacher has been trying to explain something to class and then used a video from Youtube to illustrate the point and suddenly it clicks for the class. This resource could be used in regards to aesthetic education to show students how powerful and moving the visual arts can be when they give them a chance. Students can also look up tutorials on choreography, how to play songs, and how to sketch or paint.

2. What I noticed about the specific resource that I have chosen to explore is that people are given the chance to see a great musician like Wynton Masalis play without paying $30 in order to do it. By watching this performance, people are able to get a taste of Jazz music and see if they like it, and if they do they can look in the related vidoes section to see other performaces, not only as a jazz musicaian, but preforming with an orchestra as well. On one site, people are able to see the full range of Wynton Marsallis' abilities all from the comfort of school or home.

3. This resource could be used in regards to aesthetic education to introduce students to the power and beauty that be evoked through music. In fact, it could be used to teach students the paprallels between Jazz and the hit songs of today. This could be done either in the classroom or by giving the students the assignment as homework to get them to not only see Youtube as an educational tool, but to allow them find the parallels for themselves in certain genres and have them present them to the class, have them teach eachother.

1. I feel that this resource represents aesthetic education because it allows teachers to post resources and share them with eachother. As techers, we are going to be collaborating with our coworkers for the rest of our teaching careers, this is just taking it a step further by allowing to communicate with other teachers on a global scale. 2. What I noticed about the specific resource that I have chosen to explore is that it combines history, music (which many young students respond to more than a lecture), animation and photos all one video. 3. This specific resource could be used in the classroom as a project for history class. Students could be given a project like this:

1. Find the other members of your group that have the same time period highlighted on the lyric sheet. 2. From the highlighted selection, select the 4 names or events that you think are the most important. 3. Select 2 additional events from that time period that are not mentioned in the song. 4. Identify these 6 in some form (poster, PowerPoint presentation, simple definitions). Nothing fancy, but try to be creative. 5. The song ends in 1989. With the basic structure in mind, update the song to the present (8 lines minimum) and adapt a new chorus. Be creative. It does not have to be Pop. It can be Country, Metal, or dare I say it; Rap. 6. Be prepared to share steps 4 and 5 with the class.
