This is one of four of my remix assignments on a visual, audio, and film. The assignment is to find an article and blackout the words, and the words remaining (non-blackout words) will read a poem, short s tory, or just whatever.   This assignment was tricky; it was ...

    A Little Birdie Named Twitter

    by
    Twitter has been such an influential tool for social and media purposes. Many of our students are in the know about the ins and outs of Twitter, while we are still in hesitation and confusion about the purpose or just simple pondering about what to write in that square box.

    Remix #1 Creep on a Movie Scene

    by
    Remix #1

    For my first remix assignment I thought I'd do a little movie creeping. I really enjoy many movies and found myself at a crossroad when selecting one that can be considered "famous!" Then I thought back to a trip I took to Universal Studios in Orlando Florida for Labor Day and remembered the fun I had eating at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. All of the great food and Forrest Gump trivia really got me thinking! I decided to creep on Forrest and Jenny and what better way to creep then by including my own pair of shoes from my own Nike Collection! To remix this photo I first went to google images and selected a Forrest Gump photo. Next I went into Pixlr where I selected open URL. and inserted the web address. Next I went to adjustment and add image. I selected my own image and after some serious adjusting I inserted it into the original photo. Finally I went to the History Brush where I was able to erase my body to fit into the original screen. It was truly a fun experience and I cannot wait until my next Remix assignment!

    Wikipedia Experiment

    by
    Often times as a student when writing papers and trying to find credible sources I was told NEVER to go on Wikipedia. Today we put our skills to the test and were asked to use an “old school,” Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, and Britannica to search something that was Moderately obscure. My group chose the Chokecherry, something […]

    Wiki and Me, Part 1

    by
    After consulting the 1999 Encyclopedia Americana (book), www.Britannica.com, and Wikipedia.org for information on the elusive chokecherry, I have made many interesting discoveries.  For starters, the Encyclopedia Americana offered a roughly 150-word entry that describes in dry academic language the chokecherry.  … Continue reading
