By Annalisa Ramnarain Fast forward a few weeks and the student body of York will be well underway of preparing for midterms. We’ve all experienced it. The stress of studying for five classes while working to get papers submitted on time. Now, imagine having that feeling every time you leave… Continue reading →

The quote that I chose from Cory Doctorow’s keynote was that he wants to propose a law that puts money “in the hands of the creator first, their investors second, and the retailers and platforms in which they reach their audience.” I personally am not very much on the creative… Continue reading →

Scrolling through the archives, I chose the article talking about the 100,000 digitized art pieces available on a digital library. This was the most appealing to me because I am a little bit of a history fanatic and love to see and learn about interesting things from history. A great… Continue reading →

What I took from the CT399’s advice was that I should upkeep my website long after the class. It’s okay to use the same blog site for other classes as well as personal posts. I initially planned to not renew the blog after the year is up, but my Journalism… Continue reading →

After completing the second self assessment sheet, I can definitely say I’m not even sure if I’m behind or right where I should be. With other classes, it’s getting hard to keep up with due dates and complete the things I initially planned on at the beginning of the semester.… Continue reading →

So I was really confused during this project. I just started putting random things in random places but this was the finished project! I’m still not sure exactly what it’s supposed to be or if I did it right, but I just really like how one eyeball rotates on her… Continue reading →

The most interesting work I have done so far in this class was making GIFS and animations. Specifically to the class, I have not done as much digital storytelling projects as I should have done. However, I did download Photoshop to play with at home. I made a couple animations… Continue reading →

  Ellen DeGeneres <- CLICK! I chose Ellen DeGeneres as someone who is inspiring to me based on her career struggles. Ellen made her career genuinely off her funny personality but soon found herself loosing it all due to publicly announcing she was gay. In the article I linked under her… Continue reading →

  I wasn’t sure exactly what to create to express the viewings from the talks from the past few reflections, but I did however took a shot at “fair use.” The image I used was found off of google which originally stated, “Beauty in this mirror may be distorted by… Continue reading →

A quote from Andy Baio’s case that I agree with is, “In practice, none of this matters. If you’re borrowing inspiration from any copyrighted material, even if it seems clear to you that your use is transformational, you’re in danger.” This was pretty interesting because it explains that you can take… Continue reading →

I chose this GIF because I think people can use it in a text conversation when they are mad. I’m not sure of an exact conversation, but I’ve already used the animation a few times while joking around with my … Continue reading →

Students may want to have a “domain of one’s own,” because it is their way of gaining a digital existence as discussed in the interview. Having an individual domain is a way that students are encouraged to create a “digital … Continue reading →

Compared to a few years ago in high school, I am not as active on Social Media as I used to be. However, I do have a Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and Vine. For the most part, Instagram is used … Continue reading →

Throughout the course, I plan on taking focus on the digital story projects, blogging and the personal website. I’m excited about these assignments because I’ll be learning techniques on things that I’m always curious about when I see. From the … Continue reading →

Other then basic videos and photos taken with my iPhone, I don’t have much experience in any digital storytelling tools. Years ago, I was once able to make websites using Dreamweaver for school projects but all that knowledge is gone … Continue reading →
