mchapman12 – Spring 2015 Class Blogs http://spring15blogs.tracigardner.com Blogs by Students in the Spring 2015 Sections Thu, 29 Oct 2015 01:12:29 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.3 What I Did & Why I Did It http://spring15blogs.tracigardner.com/2015/04/27/what-i-did-why-i-did-it-3/ Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:54:11 +0000 http://mchapman12.wordpress.com/?p=171 ]]> What I Did

Today, I added pictures to my Fakebook sites and cited them by taking screenshots of the source name. After I took the screenshots, I put them in the “Sources I’ve Used” section of the page.

Why I Did It

I added pictures to spruce up my page. I used screenshots so viewers of my page could easily see where I got my pictures without having to search somewhere else or ask me.

What I Did and Why I Did It – April 17 http://spring15blogs.tracigardner.com/2015/04/17/what-i-did-and-why-i-did-it-april-17/ Fri, 17 Apr 2015 18:51:42 +0000 http://mchapman12.wordpress.com/?p=165 ]]> What I Did

  • I finished drafting all the posts for both Fakebook pages

Why I Did It

  • I wanted to have all of the posts written so when I made the Fakebook page, content wound be done and all I would have to do is work on the format and setting up the site.

Documentation

I will more than likely use photos I have taken myself to enhance the sites. I will document the sources I used that tell the original Ant and Grasshopper story through a “Pages you liked” section on the Fakebook page. Those should be the only outside sources I use. I chose this method because it will be an easy and discreet way to incorporate citing the sources without taking away from the purpose of the page.

Spring Semester

I’m soo not looking forward biochem this semester :( but I’m determined to make Dean’s List this semester

 

It’s the first week of classes & I’m already over this. #YOLO

 

I guess my lab can wait. Did someone say TOTS Tuesday? (emoji)

 

I lost my keys in TOTS, my car got towed, and I forgot to do my lab! What a night. #fail #mylifeisover

 

Yes! I’m so glad I found my keys and got my car back. Labs are only worth 20% of my grade so I think missing just one won’t hurt. #DeansList

Ant/Anthony

Spring Semester

Taking 18 credits of some of my hardest classes is going to be a killer, but I’ve got to stay on the grind! I’ve got to make Dean’s List this semester!

 

It’s only the 3rd week of school and I already have 3 quizzes and an exam all in one week! I guess that calls for #NewmanLife #allnighter

 

Good morning! Getting Dunkin Donuts after my 8am then back to the library! My friend Greg says I don’t have any time to hang out anymore, but I’ve got to stay focused! #DeansList

 

What I Did

  • I started creating posts for my Fakebook page
  • I also plan on adding more posts

Why I Did It

  • I wanted to get the content finished so that I can just go make the Fakebook page and add pictures and make other tweeks
  •  I will add more posts to make the Fakebook page complete and to express activities over the entire semester

What I Did & Why I Did It http://spring15blogs.tracigardner.com/2015/04/13/what-i-did-why-i-did-it-2/ Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:59:00 +0000 http://mchapman12.wordpress.com/?p=161 ]]> Project 4 Timeline

  • Create storyboard – April 14
  • Edit storyboard and prepare for presentation – April 17
  • Create up both Fakebook accounts – April 17-20
  • Sign up for presentation – April 19-20
  • Be ready to share rough draft of both Fakebook accounts in class – April 22

What I Did

  • Created a timeline
  • Changed the genre from iMovie to Fakebook
  • Explored the Fakebook website

Why I Did It

  • To organize my plans for Project 4
  • I changed the genre because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make a quality movie in the time I have in the midst of other projects and responsibilities. I also think I could create and design a better project with this genre, while challenging myself and taking risks.
  • I looked at the Fakebook website ahead of time so I can have a better idea of what I need to do before I create the actual page.

Project 4 http://spring15blogs.tracigardner.com/2015/04/04/project-4/ Sat, 04 Apr 2015 05:02:19 +0000 http://mchapman12.wordpress.com/?p=156 ]]> 1. A Good Remix:

-a short and concise story

-clear, unencrypted graphics

-creative topic/story

2. What Makes a Good Digital Story:

The Beauty and the Beast Facebook page was the best, in my opinion, because it imitated a Facebook page almost exactly. It looked so real that I wanted to click on links. It was simple enough, like Facebook, but it had real content.

3. Stories I Am Considering

-recreating certain historical crises

-recreating videos I’ve seen

I would like to steer toward nonfiction scenarios because I enjoy watching and reading things that are real. I also feel as though I would do a better job at recreating these types of stories because I can relate to some of them.

Checklist Observation (Monday) http://spring15blogs.tracigardner.com/2015/03/30/checklist-observation-monday/ Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:51:37 +0000 http://mchapman12.wordpress.com/?p=151 ]]> I would use Vialogues because I love watching videos online. It seems very useful when making videos for projects and other presentations. I also liked the feature on the side with words and descriptions of the video being played. I also liked the educational aspect, and I think it would be a great resource for professors to post lectures or other necessary videos.

I would love to try using Thematic. Based on the presentation, it seemed very thorough in its instructions and showing users how to use it. I would use this interface if I wanted to organize and/or categorize photos. I like the simplistic format as well as the way the photos are placed.
