The topic for my Field guide is going to be "How much Screen time should a child have" Not all screen time is bad, but still feel like it should be limited. Going to start really getting into the research this week, it has been a bit hectic on my side but definitely going to get started on this asap.
Hey~ Hope everyone had a nice week. I’ve been pretty stressed this past week myself. It’s crunch time for my thesis project and I’m feeling the pressure. I’m trying not to take it out on unsuspecting folk but please excuse me if I do. I’m cranky and I need a twenty-thousand hour nap. Anyway, this week we began the treacherous trek into the world of Twitter bots. Honestly, I love bots and designing them is a lot of fun. Certain changes to Twitter’s […]
In support of my last post, "Fancy Words for Simple Concepts", I found an article titled, "Digital Dualism Versus Augmented Reality" by Nathan Jurgenson, which discusses the idea of both your online presence and physical life as one entity that is entwined together. The article defines key terms, such as: augmented reality, slacktivism, and false binary. The article states that in this world, we are "comprised of a physical body as well as our digital Profile, acting in constant dialogue." The article […]
Next week officially starts spring break in my district and I CAN NOT WAIT! I have spring fever to the max and, between my students and this class, I feel like my brain is fried! […]
After much thinking, here is the new idea for my contribution to our fieldguide: The creation of multiple digital identities by adolescents highlights their need to share versions of themselves online, proving that there is no distinction between "real life" and "digital life".You can see the specific questions I plan to explore in my other post: "It's Crunch Time!" Ultimately, I have come to realize that many are discussing the concept of digital dualism, and whether or not living online is […]
Image by author CC-NC-SA I was asked this week how I write. Quickly, I said – in odd moments snatched whenever I can find them. I try not to think too much about what I’m writing – I scribble words on scraps of paper, I doodle on the scribbles and scribble some more. I try not to worry about choosing perfect words and phrases – I often use square brackets to remind myself that parts need polishing – that the […]
I’m still a work in progress because I’m still not exactly sure how to put all my work together. I have no issues with my research but to make it all come together as a complete assignment is where my struggle comes in. I’m trying my best and hoping that I am doing this correctly. I feel I am struggling with my bot but I followed all the steps. Now I can’t get my hypothes.is to connect to the article […]

So then I decided that I would gear towards scamming and chose to focus on job scams. I have been a victim of going on job interviews which were complete scams. Why do people advertise jobs which are scams and how exactly can you decipher which job is real and which is a […]
So, upfront, this is my blog. If you’re looking for commentary or “dialogue” about the content on my blog, I’d peruse the margins… Discussion Hello~ Hope everyone had a nice and healthy week. I’m back up and kicking. This week, I got the chance to catch up on a lot of work. One of the things I needed to work on apparently was refining my idea for the field guide (aka my research project(?)). After discussing my thoughts with Dr. Zamora and […]
Karen Young on Is there a difference?Really I am not sure if it matters as it is just another way to tell a short story.Today is Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.Who knew?And our Daily Digital Alchemy task was to create a short story about grilled cheese.I am a mother of three men. I know alllllll about grilled cheese.When my son is gaming this is the call I get from the basement.He did it the first time as a joke, but now he actually says […]
lillians02 on Just like Whitley, I need to "Relax, Relate, Release!". It's harder than it seems for sure. I was feeling "all over the place" after last week's class. Honestly, I felt more lost when it came to my topic for my final project instead of moving in the right direction. So far, my topic is "Blackfishing," … Continue reading What’s Next? Oh Right…My Project! →
janetrmaison on Digital Alchemist Form This is my Digital Alchemist, its a working progress and i think I like it. I made a new twitter account and a new hypothesis account.
lillians02 on Hey everyone! So, last week I had the idea of Catfishing, which is using photographs to form a fake identity (persona) for their personal gain, fame, money, identity theft, etc. I wanted to be more specific on a type of Catfishing, which is Blackfishing. Recently, women on who are not of color are posing as … Continue reading The Burning Question? {Fieldguide} →
janetrmaison on I came up with my field guide topic which was selfies, but I am not sure if that’s what I want to do. I wanted to talk about selfies and photographer, how selfies would take over photography and people would enjoy taken pictures themself without going to the studios to take pictures. Then I thought about selfies in general and why people take selfies. Also why girls take selfies more than boys and is there a reason why? So am […]
janetrmaison on I am still working on my digital Alchemists. I keep going back and forth about what I want my Alchemist should look like. I still need to work on my Alchemist, because am not used to creating something like this. This is so not me, but I am working hard to do my best. My field guide topic is a bite broad and I need to narrow it down a little bite, and am not sure if that’s what I […]
