  • Integrating Video Clips Into the “Legacy Content” of the K–12 Curriculum: TV, Movies, and Youtube in the Classroom
    Integrating Video Clips into the “Legacy Content” of the K–12 Curriculum: TV, Movies, and YouTube in the Classroom Ronald A. Berk Disclaimer: This chapter is based on a presentation given at the annual Evaluation Systems Conference in Chicago. Since the content of the October 2008 presentation focused on using videos in the classrooms of the future, this chapter will not be able to capture the flavor and spirit of the actual videos shown. The audience exhibited a range of emotions, from laughter to weeping to laughter to weeping. Unfortunately, this print version will probably only bring about the weeping. Keep a box of tissues nearby. Enjoy. Using videos in teaching is not new. They date back to prehistoric times, when cave instructors used 16 mm projectors to show cave students examples of insurance company marketing commercials in business courses. Now even DVD players are history. So what’s new? There are changes in four areas: (1) the variety of video formats, (2) the ease with which the technology can facilitate their application in the classroom, (3) the number of video techniques a teacher can use, and (4) the research on multimedia learning that provides the theoretical and empirical support for their use as an effective teaching tool. A PC or Mac and a LCD projector with speakers can easily embed video clips for a PowerPoint presentation on virtually any topic. This chapter examines what we know and don’t know about videos and learning. It begins with detailed reviews of the theory and research on videos and the brain and multimedia learning.

  • Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network
    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE May 2016 Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network Laura Osur Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Osur, Laura, "Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network" (2016). Dissertations - ALL. 448. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/448 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • The Id, the Ego and the Superego of the Simpsons
    Hugvísindasvið The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson January 2013 University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson Kt.: 090285-2119 Supervisor: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir January 2013 Abstract The purpose of this essay is to explore three main characters from the popular television series The Simpsons in regards to Sigmund Freud‟s theories in psychoanalytical analysis. This exploration is done because of great interest by the author and the lack of psychoanalytical analysis found connected to The Simpsons television show. The main aim is to show that these three characters, Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson and Ned Flanders, represent Freud‟s three parts of the psyche, the id, the ego and the superego, respectively. Other Freudian terms and ideas are also discussed. Those include: the reality principle, the pleasure principle, anxiety, repression and aggression. For this analysis English translations of Sigmund Freud‟s original texts and other written sources, including psychology textbooks, and a selection of The Simpsons episodes, are used. The character study is split into three chapters, one for each character. The first chapter, which is about Homer Simpson and his controlling id, his oral character, the Oedipus complex and his relationship with his parents, is the longest due to the subchapter on the relationship between him and Marge, the id and the ego. The second chapter is on Marge Simpson, her phobia, anxiety, aggression and repression. In the third and last chapter, Ned Flanders and his superego is studied, mainly through the religious aspect of the character.

  • Intersection of Gender and Italian/Americaness
    THE INTERSECTION OF GENDER AND ITALIAN/AMERICANESS: HEGEMONY IN THE SOPRANOS by Niki Caputo Wilson A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have completed this dissertation without the guidance of my committee members, the help from my friends and colleagues, and the support of my family. I extend my deepest gratitude to my committee chair Dr. Jane Caputi for her patience, guidance, and encouragement. You are truly an inspiration. I would like to thank my committee members as well. Dr. Christine Scodari has been tireless in her willingness to read and comment on my writing, each time providing me with insightful recommendations. I am indebted to Dr Art Evans, whose vast knowledge of both The Sopranos and ethnicity provided an invaluable resource. Friends, family members, and UCEW staff have provided much needed motivation, as well as critiques of my work; in particular, I thank Marc Fedderman, Rebecca Kuhn, my Aunt Nancy Mitchell, and my mom, Janie Caputo. I want to thank my dad, Randy Caputo, and brother, Sean Caputo, who are always there to offer their help and support. My tennis friends Kathy Fernandes, Lise Orr, Rachel Kuncman, and Nicola Snoep were instrumental in giving me an escape from my writing. Mike Orr of Minuteman Press and Stefanie Gapinski of WriteRight helped me immensely—thank you! Above all, I thank my husband, Mike Wilson, and my children, Madi and Cole Wilson, who have provided me with unconditional love and support throughout this process.
