I think a radio show discussing everyone’s favorite social media site would be really cool. Everyone would be able to discuss why which site is their favorite and maybe which site is even their least favorite. Different aspects and features of each site can also be discussed.

I find that sound is vital to telling stories especially online. Sound is the only way to impart meaning and convey emotions. With that being said sound is what brings a story to life in many ways.

I choose to read A Domain of One’s Own in a Post-Ownership Society by Andreas Walters. In the article she spoke of wanting to own your domain and claiming what is yours through the internet. I found this a bit interesting considering I never thought that anything on the internet belonged to me but was a communal … Continue reading "The Internet"

I found Hypothesis to be extremely useful. I really hadn’t seen a plugin like that before and am excited to be able to use it for even other classes.
