masooch94 on [aka How Many Girl Group Songs Can Masooch Link In One Post.] Oh whaaaaaat we had a week off from class, wowie. As such, this’ll be a short post, where I’ll just be recapping the DDAs I did, plus other comments and such, yadda yadda yadda. Let’s jump right in. … … … … Hello, it’s over 18 hours later, during which I had a whole adventure and went to a whole concert and nearly missed a train and crashed […]
A bait! (Is this title considered a “clickbait? I wonder…) In my other blog post, I’ve briefly talked about the concept of clickbait. It’s something of a “hot topic” these days. I figured that maybe I could find something useful to share for our Field Guide. Thus, I decided to do a search on google (talk about enthusiasm). The first source I’ve stumbled upon was this intricate and intelligent (sounding?) PDF file: https://vaibhav4595.github.io/files/Multimodal_Clickbait.pdf It was very constructive. It also short-circuited […]
lillians02 on "We shape the representation of self, but our behaviors become packaged representations that are for sale tactics." -Studio Visit 2/12/2019 I am pleased to announce that I had my first Studio Visit last Tuesday! I don't like being on camera or other people seeing me on camera unless it's my family and friends. (So this was … Continue reading Diving in the Deep End of Digital Alchemy: Studio Visit →
“We are paying for everything right now. The currency we’re trading is data.” ~ Anne-Marie Scott So, this week the polar vortex finally descended upon us and swallowed us whole in a show of might that only emphasized how insignificant we are– Actually, class just got snowed out cause global warming is a thing and it’s screwing with the weather. What are you gonna do??? Pass Ocasi0-Cortez’s Green Deal??? Anyway, despite this week’s unfortunate weather, some of us were still able […]
tellio on tellio on tellio on No Title No Description This is where we are in some states. My Kentucky legislature is not quite here yet, but they are edging the Overton window toward all guns, all the time, and everywhere. There is a bill being considered now that would allow conceal carry without a permit anywhere it is now allowed with a permit. Next step is to allow conceal carry everywhere: bars, churches, and my classroom. That is when I quit. When I read this […]
Hey~ Welcome to this week’s bonus post ^.^ I’m going to try to keep it short & sweet! A big topic in class related to privacy, data tracking, and navigating online spaces as a whole is that of digital literacy. Data tracking, learning algorithms, and surveillance capitalism have largely been allowed to propagate and perpetuate and make a butt-ton of money off of all of us due in large part to a lack of regulation. Unfortunately, much of this has gone […]
This week’s activities have really left me thinking and wondering about what this world is really coming too. Why can’t we just enjoy the internet without all the extra nonsense that comes with it? I want to get on the internet and not have to prove my identity 50 million times. I want to just enjoy my time on the internet all this stuff really makes me not want to get on the internet. One of my biggest fears is […]
https://via.hypothes.is/http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/08/what-is-the-baby-meme-about-eating-sugar-and-telling-lies.html If there isn’t enough going on already here goes another catchy song to make the kiddies go crazy over. I’m happy my daughter has passed the age of wanting to continuously listen to these annoy songs which seem very catchy to a toddler’s ear. I feel that on a level of 0-10 it’s a solid 5 because although, it’s annoying, these songs keep children occupied and add to their learning. I say that because many times finger play is […]
No class due to the snow, but I’m spending my time listening in on the studio video with Anne-Marie. Listening to this gives insight into many things that I was unaware of. Learning about the facilities that teach people how to use Wiki is so dope. I like this because so many people aren’t sure how to correctly write papers. Having a resource like this is so helpful and it adds a bonus to those trying to excel in their […]
I’d say… definitely number 6! Man, what a week. That was possibly the best class we’ve had so far; the extensive lecture and the in-depth discussion that followed. Wait… we did not have a class this week. Oh, that’s right. The class was canceled due to extreme weather. I’m 100% certain that I’m the only one who has ever made this “original” joke. That’s the “truth”. It seems like we have actually missed out on an interesting topic, which was […]
Alan Levine on Link to image and article: https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/12/05/503581220/fake-or-real-how-to-self-check-the-news-and-get-the-facts This week we went over an activity on the topic of ‘how much of the internet is what’s fake or real.’ This topic is one that comes across as two-sided, since you have people who take everything they see on the internet for granted, but other who think twice of what they see. But a bigger question to ask from all this is: is everything on the internet created equally? Just because a […]
