Reflecting on my past in this class.... and the future??

Up to this point, the class is going pretty well. I like all of the topic we are covering and it’s pretty self-explanatory, with the new online courses, it does feel a lot harder when it’s all spread out in my opinion. I took a bunch of classes in the summer and I liked it and I guess it was because it was pretty much everyday so the timing went by so fast but with the online classes in the fall it feels so spread out that I end up doing things late or something comes up left and right, life isn’t easy in the pandemic to say the least in my opinion. Ever topic we’ve covered in this class is important and for sure my favorite assignments we’ve done is the Birmingham campaign and the assignment we had with the museum where we had to look at the videos and then speak and relate it. Those assignments are interesting and are appealing for me. I do feel like this class would’ve been great and better in person but that’s just how it is now unfortunately in these rough times. I had a rough start for sure in the beginning, but I do feel like I’m caught up and going to move forward with this momentum and finish up with only a month and a half last in this semester.
Looking forward, we only have about a month and a half left and I couldn’t be more excited for it. I just don’t think personally online classes are for me anymore, it seems like a good thought at first but you lose so much that you would get in person and in my opinion, I feel I slacked off in the beginning because of it, if it wasn’t for the classes being online I would’ve been more on top of my work but such is life, I’m going to finish this semester as strong as I can. With these other topics, I’m not sure about them in the sense I don’t have much information on them but I know if it’s anything like the last 4 units, then I will enjoy them and be more than fine with it. Visualizing science sounds pretty good, I have no clue what infographics are, but the rest looks pretty interesting such as finding your way into the field, propaganda, and political advertising. I actually can’t wait to look into these topics and only with a month and a half left, I know it’s going to be quick but nonetheless gotta finish strong. #almostdone #progress #strong #finishup

    Hello Chris, nice name, i totally felt the same thing you felt about not being in person and how online classes was a good idea at first but now it's just a hassel. I also respect the pictures of barney, he's legend...wait for it...dary.

    Hi Chris, its Matt V, I can definitely relate to feeling like slacking; but I also feel like it allows us to look at education differently. I think the coursework too as you mentioned has been extremely interesting, and if it is similar in what is to come, then im all for it. Time is definitely going to fly by, and I know Barney is gonna look back with us and wonder how he went from being the innoculous lady's man to the lovable and relatable Barney Stinson at the end of the series.

PICTURES? MEMORIES? Oh you meant Photography...

Image
^^ I use a great Icon, Kobe Bryant who unfortunately passed away in January. His life in photographs allow us to remember him in our memories and all of his great ventures throughout his career. This is the product of photography and why it is so important for our own memories as well as others. In part 3 of unit 3, what I like about this is the transition from text to photos because it relates to how our technology and how media has gone from texts to photos and how they are in correlation with one another. The aspect of photography is so relevant that people have been getting paid a lot of money to do it over the years and even now getting paid millions to do so. Even with the apps we use, photography is something everyone does on a regular basis. When I say that photography has evolved, look at the apps such as Instagram and snapchat. It is all revolved around taking pictures and sending pictures to people. People will take pictures of food, take pictures of one another, ...

TEXTS ??? is more than what you think.. this is a text..

Image
So, with the second part of unit 3. The idea of text has become so relevant in our lives because of one major aspect which is that everyone texts every single day. We have people who are young, middle-age and even older who are texting every single day. I have my grandfather texting me on a regular basis meanwhile years ago, he only ever used a flip phone. Times have changed but the main point is that texting has become a major part of everyone’s lives with the evolution of technology and phones. People would much rather text than speak on the phone, even posting a status, people are texting their status of how they feel onto social media. With the idea of texts also comes with the ideals of fonts and different types of ways to acquire attention for other people. For example, a lot of people who do YouTube or social media, if they have certain fonts that are different from the standard times new roman, it will gain attention of others such as the blow up font, different color ...

THE WORLD IS OUR MAP!

Image
\ This is literally the map of the world, but every moment we wake up and take a step we are stepping into the world and wayfinding ourselves through it. Me (buzz) telling everyone else (woody) that we are wayfinding ourselves through the world through each step we take. Everyone confused about how we are wayfinding ourselves through the world In general, when it comes to the ideal of wayfinding and maps it’s something, we all do every single day. Everyday we all wake up with the ideal of having to go somewhere or with the knowledge of knowing our environment and knowing where we would like to go and how to get there from where we are hence the term special problem solving. In this case it’s important in our everyday life to have this ability because everyday we wake up with a purpose. Even if its just walking to the kitchen to make breakfast, we have to know where we are and where we end up going. Wayfinding and maps are just a part of our lives no matter how we see i...
