“Resistance throws you into time. Acceptance discloses the timeless.”

Part One , Part Two  I expected Wesch’s presentation to revolve around technology and the impact of it around the global landscape. This is exactly what he talks about. Technology is something that most people still are not accustomed to completely but is a very influential and powerful source of all kinds of information. Some of … Continue reading “Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able” Reflection

A personal Cyberinfrastructure. I expected this article to talk about technology as educational purposes and that is more or less what it is about. This is the first article I have read of W. Gardner Campbell. Campbell thesis or central argument is that digital infrastructures is a better way to teach in terms of production, efficiency, … Continue reading A Personal Cyberinfrastructure Reflection

“Say it like the peanut butter!” View post on imgur.com Description: This is the first ever GIF I made. I see them all the time and love to watch them but personally I never made one. This was a fun assignment to do and didn’t even feel like homework. The movie I chose was “Ride … Continue reading First Digital Assignment!

How well do I feel I completed the requirements of the week’s assignments?   I think I completed this assignment well this week. It was more thinking and doing on my blog, with the reflections and daily creates we had. I installed the applications easily too. It is cool to see everything you do on the … Continue reading Week 2 Summary

I watched the presentations by Michael Wesch called “Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able: New Learning Environment for New Media Environment”. At first, I assumed the talk would describe how technology generates a fresh learning environment for this generation. He explains how this web creates a new learning environment for students at universities, but also provides an environment … Continue reading “Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able”

As Gardner Campbell once said;  “progress means looping back to earlier ideas whose vitality and importance were unrecognized or under-explored at the time, and bringing those ideas back into play in a new context. This is the type of progress needed in higher education today, as students, faculty, and staff inhabit and co-create their online … Continue reading Reflection of Gardner Campbell: Personal CyberInfrastructure →

Week 2 is coming to a close and I am starting to feel more at home in this little online space. The imformation posed this week was certainly thought provoking and, at a minimum, made me question my role in the online world. The article by Gardner Campbell (reflection found here) and the video by […]

In his address to the faculty in 2011, Mike Wesch attempts to demonstrate the need for media literacy in today’s day and age. He poses the question of how we move students from being “knowledgeable” to “knowledge-able.” In the almost two hours he talked, Wesch made many points about how we use media and how […]

Hey gals and guys! Week two is complete and it’s time to reflect: How well do you feel you completed the requirements of the week’s…

For today’s daily create, we had to find a way to illustrate this saying: “Resistance throws you into time. Acceptance discloses the timeless.” @ds106dc “Resistance throws you into time.

The title, “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure”, sounded like the article would contain information about how people spend too much time on the Internet; exposing too much about their personal life for others to see. I thought the lesson would tell me to make the Internet a place to learn and explore, without putting too much “out … Continue reading “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure”

It is not a technological problem we face, but a people one. Right now, at our fingertips, we have technology that is more powerful than what was used to arrive to the moon. How is it then that we still find it difficult to solve today’s problems? The interpersonal issues within our society may be … Continue reading Becoming Knowledge-able

Michael Wesch Talk I assumed this talk would be very similar to Campbell’s presentation in the sense that Michael Wesch would most likely dive deeper…

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a car? Was there a monster truck falling from the sky as well? Also, was it about to land on you and your friend? I’ve had this happen to me many times before. Below is an incident when my friend and I were trapped in our convertible. See … Continue reading Impending Doom

There are many people who have no clue what a mogwai is, yet if you mention the word “gremlin,” almost anyone can tell you what that is and that it’s in reference to the 1980s classic, Gremlins. Whether someone has seen the movie or not, they know exactly what a gremlin creature is. Why is […]

Micheal Wesch delivered at keynote speech to UMW in 2011 entitled “Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able: New Learning Environments for New Media Environment.” He conveys how we need to have knowledge in “information literacy” then develop to “meta-media fluency” and ultimately “digital citizenship.” He defines “digital citizenship” as the capacity to use technology in order to collect, create, imagine, and make a […]

In Gardner Campbell’s article “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure” Campbell discusses the need for technology in the classroom, and more explicitly the need for each student to have their own web servers. He believes that students need to learn how to build a cyberinfrastructure, in order to “acquire crucial technical skills for their digital lives” that would allow them to […]

Given the title of Gardner Campbell’s article, I expected an in-depth discussion on various social medias and how to use them. I expected some explanation on Linkdin and how to “buff up” my profiles to be more eye catching, as so many other articles geared towards my age-group have done. Pleasingly that was not the […]

So I’ve decided to try a different approach to these weekly summaries. Today is Monday, September 31st, 2015. And it is not the end of the week. But I have one of the worst memories out there if I don’t make sure to write things down as I do them, and I figured this process … Continue reading Looking back: Week Two

The story Boobie Miles is the star running back of the Permian Panthers football team. This is the first game of the season and the panthers are crushing their opponent. Coach Gaines puts Boobie in with 2 minutes left, because the reserve running back lost his helmet. The playcall is 28 sweep. As you can … Continue reading “Say It like Peanut Butter” GIF

“What if I look inside myself and I don’t find any gems? What if I’m just a rock?” A year and a half ago, when I was a Sophomore preparing for exams and trying to dig myself out of a depressive rut, I went on a Studio Ghibli binge. As a kid, I had only […]
