Well this week was a hassle for me. I joined this class in the middle of the week like Wednesday or something and every since then I have been struggling. I think it is just because I am not use to social networks even though I am young I should know all of them, I have a Facebook and I understand how to use that but I do not really have anything to say most of the time so I just leave it how it is and read about my friends (I know that sounds stalkerish) . I felt like this class is going to be helpful for me to interact through the web better and learn about how other people and what they do with their lives. The only thing I am dreading is actually using Twitter I have no idea how to use that at all, but slowly I am figuring it out on my own.
As I was watching “Robert Hughes on what art is” the part that stuck out the most for me was when he said something like ”60s and 70s art is a charade of toughness and to hide feelings” I do not believe that is true because I think art is an expression of ones feelings but on the other now that I think about it I can see where he is coming from because instead of people speaking their minds they want to paint or sculpt something in the hopes of someone understands where they are coming from.
As I was watched “Where Good Ideas Come From” the first time my mind was blown just watching him draw with the animations. It was so good by the time I started to listen to what the guy was talking about it was over. I love the fact that at the end he drew a light bulb I just thought it was genius. Therefore I watched it again without looking at it so I would not get distracted and there was some good information about innovation. I love how he made it easy to understand and the idea of how there is a lot of little things together makes an idea whole. I also like how he made an example of how the world wide web was invented from Tim Berners-Lee and how he scrapped his own idea and started to think little by little and gave it time to fertilize until the world wide web was actually invented.
As I watched “Disruptive Wonder” it was a little weird because I did not understand what she was talking about but as I watch it I learned that her designs are really interesting they are so simple but meaningful I like that. Disruptive Wonder is complex to explain it is small things that make a huge statement. When she was like rearranging her website name and how she verified the reason why she did it about order in the country and what not. I agree with her about how the world is too much in order, it should be unorganized because then we can be more spontaneous in the world.
The ten rules for students and teachers to me are all right they all have meaning and the rules affected my way of thinking without even noticing. For example rule two to me makes a lot of sense to me because that is what I do at a school atmosphere because I believe the teachers and the students have something to teach me that the teacher might not always know.
This video was so difficult for me because I am deathly shy that is why I kept smiling. But during this video I think that I did it pretty well, you be the judge. I watched some of the other videos and they were mostly saying that they were in the ds106 I did not want to say it I thought it would be an awkward silence in the video.
