Low point in H807

I am actually drowning. I have to submit TMA02 early because of the upcoming Easter Holidays of the kids. I am 1,5 weeks behind in posting and some reading. I am following the forum (which is indeed rather easy). But I see only a little chance to catch up. Private life is just a bit rough at the moment. Too many things are just now breaking down, need re-organization or attention, including my own health.
The TMA 01 result, even though I did not expect to have done it brilliantly, was rather poor. And I put a lot of work in it. My English seems not good enough and I need to find some native speaker to prove read my TMAs (no chance for TMA02 though). It was a frustrating experience.

I want to read and post ideas. But I have to admit that I feel a lack of motivation to discuss the topics of this and last week.
Regarding our group, I feel a need for more personal informal contact.  Maybe that's just the time now. A face to face meeting would be appropriate after a certain time to keep up everybody’s motivation. But we are a in an online course.
What could be done instead? I think TMA03 is exactly addressing this problem with the request to quote our own posts. So we are somehow forced to overcome this low point.
But the pressure to post does not feel good. It is not addressing my need. The forum cafe could be seen as the place to go. But it is not the same as a real cafe, not only because everyone can follow the conversations.

Yoga and mash up

I love yoga and practice regularly.

For the mash up exercise I thought some yoga teaching would fit into my e-learing and intercultural mix. You can see the video I chose and by hoovering over the screen you can select others related youTube videos.

I have no power over the videos youTube offers additionally. But you can access them through my implemented video. Is that good - yes and no.   

The videos are certainly not intendet to be shown in this context of e-learning.

 So I think it makes a real mash up.

Mashups

First idea when I thought about mash ups were price search engins like http://www.preisroboter.de/ergebnis17842.html (German)
I have to check if they meet the mashup criteria. I think yes, beause the price information were not originally created for this kind of use.

Here are some mashups that I found for learning:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learning/   for children and teacher, beta version
http://www.tivi.de/                     Kids pages of German televition station ZDF,
http://chinesepod.com/              -again- (no this is no mashup, its just combining resources)

Classification comes later, when I read all the articles.
