Today, we made progress with our video. We discovered, however, that you can't easily view an animoto video as you go along. We will work with this, but probably look for other programs in the future.

Today, we gathered more resources to use for the animoto. When researching both Gates and Rockefeller, I noticed that both utilized their business knowledge to exploit newly emerging industries; Rockefeller used oil refining, rather than drilling, and Gates utilized the emerging computer industry. Both, also, started companies that could be considered monopolizing and anti-competitive, though only Rockefeller's company had to be dissolved. Ironically, Rockefeller used that opportunity to make himself even more rich, as each of the subsidiary companies was worth more on their own.

Today, Tyler and I worked with Jeremy and Bridget on collecting sources for both of our videos. It helped to get another groups input and share ideas. We finished the DBQ and chapter 18 test, so all we have left is the video.
