Next Gen LMS

Wendy Taleo on March 12, 2018March 12, 2018

Photo by NASA on UnsplashReading the ever-exciting New Media Consortium 2017 report, it lists Next Generation Digital Learning Environments (NGDLE) on the 2-3 year timeframe for adoption. I'm thinking about Network Narratives in this framework and realise that what we have in the various resources of this course, makes up a learning 'portal' (pg 45). Whether this provides a deeper learning experience than signing up for a Learning Management System (LMS) experience is something that I am pondering.A portalthat allows a different viewfrom sea to sky, […]

It’s time to Gif it all up together!

tiffany627568933 on March 8, 2018March 8, 2018

This was the last week for digital art and I am kind of bummed out. I really enjoyed this part of the semester on digital art because we were able to do a lot of fun stuff. Making of the memes and the Gifs was the best part. It was also cool learning about privacy and how anything you do online is watched. The internet has very little privacy because in order to go on some sites we have to […]

Game it – Week 8.0

Wendy Taleo on March 7, 2018March 7, 2018

In this segment of Netnarr we are being asked to think about games. Here is a short reflection on two of my fave games at the moment.Mahjong - the board gameThis is nothing like the 'match the pair' version that is popular on computers. The goal of the game is to be able to make a certain pattern of the tiles (like cards) in a throw out/pick up routine. I like the routine and process of this game which starts […]

Vanessa's NetNarr Blogs on March 6, 2018March 6, 2018

Once again, I missed class but this week was due to sickness. Last class I missed it because of my Citizenship exam which I thankfully to God passed! The flu was very powerful this year in so many states, I guess I was one of the unfortunate ones in New Jersey. But, I guess the good news was that class didn’t last long because there were more people out and there was also technical difficulties. I’m wondering if Gif wanted […]

Week 8.0: This is a Game

Alan Levine on March 6, 2018January 17, 2019

We start out NetNarr segment on games and gaming with our own experiences of game play. Our time spent in games we can easily say is for fun, distraction, relief. But what makes them work to do this?

In the 1997 movie The Game the Nicholas Van Orton character’s experience …

The Internet and Games

Katherine on March 6, 2018March 6, 2018

Well, hello! Sorry for the radio silence on here. We’ve reached the beginning of March, and that means it’s the beginning of our section on Games, which Justin and I will be moderating. It’s tempting to think only of video games when we discuss games in relation to networked narratives and online culture, but for my post today I’m going to discuss two other ways that the Internet facilitates gaming: Art Roleplaying Games and Fan-made augments to traditional table top […]

haileyjcarone on March 5, 2018March 5, 2018

as we say goodbye to our digital art segment, i think our last Make - the GIF It All Together one - is definitely a great way to end. additionally, i'd like to say i'm pretty proud at how my GIF turned out. but first, we have to go back to the beginning! we started out with the GIFing a Process Make, which i created based off of my poetry process photoset. i used a filter on Giphy to make […]

Gifts or GiPhy

richardsonpatrice3029 on March 5, 2018March 5, 2018

Daughter’s Audition This was when my daughter was six years old, we went to a audition to be on the Disney Channel..These are a few pictures from when we were there. Before, between and after photos I am having a very hard time trying to put memes and gif together that I just want to give up. Can anyone shed some light on how to do so. I missed one week of class and feel like I missed a few […]

Photograph a Process

tiffany627568933 on March 5, 2018March 5, 2018

I did my process on how I make my amazing cup of coffee every morning before work or before running errands. Coffee is something I can’t live without and I make a minimum of 2 cups of coffee everyday, so I figured why not photograph my process of my daily coffee. It is something that I am good at and is essential for me.

GiFing While We Work

Stephanie Jones on March 5, 2018March 5, 2018

Photo: GoogleI, like most of the country is totally obsessed with all things Black Panther right now. I've seen the movie at least three times now. After watching it this last time I thought about this week's class and the GIFs we made. Now I made GIFs last year. It was truly basic though. And I don't think I made one with a moving image. I know I use them. I am the Queen of GIFs. My new favorite one […]

GIFs, GIFs, GIFs!

Marissa on March 5, 2018March 5, 2018

I love digital art. I've been interested in the digital world for as long as I can remember, from fanfiction.net, to deviantart.com, to my discovery of YouTube when it was a relatively new platform. I have always been interested in the different ways that people express their art, and I appreciate that GIFs are finally being given the recognition that they deserve. One of my favorite types of digital art are YouTube videos. I've loved YouTube for years and years, and […]

What Does It All Meme????

helterskelliter on March 3, 2018March 3, 2018

Tbh, I’m going to miss our discussions on digital art~ The Gif that Just Keeps on Giving Before I get into my reflection on digital art, I want to talk about our last hurrah for the Make Bank. This week, we used what we learned from last week’s experimentation with Giphy to make two different kinds of gifs which I pronounce with a soft g like in graphic image format fight me. The first make asked us to gif a process. Of course, I chose […]

Bone Girl Revisited

helterskelliter on March 3, 2018March 3, 2018

Hi~ For anyone who doesn’t know, the open participants of the NetNarr realm have started their own project and have invited us to participate as well. It’s an awesome opportunity to dabble with some digital alchemy~ I wasn’t sure what I was going to do at first–or if I would have time to do anything–but, miraculously, I’m on it with the time management this weekend and I also had a burst of creative inspiration. I decided to remix-ish an old story I […]

#NetNarr Post-Hangout: Sending Gifs

dogtrax on March 3, 2018

via GIPHY I could not attend the online Google hangout the other day for Networked Narratives, which featured guests Amy Burvall and Michael Branson Smith on the art of the animated gif, and the possibility for expression with the social media photo formatting. My friend, Wendy, suggested on Twitter that we make gifs from the hangout video, and well, that sounded like a fine idea. I did all of this within Giphy itself, which has stickers (which I keep forgetting […]
