Michael Wesch’s keynote presentation at UMW’s 2011 commencement was an enlightening commentary on the power held by the media we engage with. It was the first time I was introduced to the idea that we may not be driving the media, but instead the media may be driving us. He references an example based on … Continue reading Reflection: Michael Wesch at UMW

Okay, well after a bit of a rocky start, I am ready to start exploring a little.  WordPress is very user friendly and even a little intuitive.  Installing the plugins required for class was easy – perhaps a little too easy… Right now, I think the challenge of this class breaks down like this: Understanding […]

Todays was to upload a photo of a “neat place.” One of the things I loved most about Hawaii when I visited was that the sand of the beach was black where my hotel was. 

I’m a bit of a homebody, and while I’ve gone on exciting adventures in the past…I don’t have any pictures of the occasions. I thought I would go exploring today to find some place cool, but as I was headed back from class, it was preparing to rain. But I’ve always been in love with […]

Going into this presentation, I expected much of the same information given in Gardner Campbell’s talk on personal cyberinfrastructures. However, I was pleasantly surprised that although the two presentations shared similar viewpoints, they also approached the issue of effective media usage from different perspectives. Wesch placed much more emphasis on how media integration can truly […]

I didn’t have any of pictures … Continue reading Exciting Place

I seem to have a moon on my toast, I need to stop staying up late I’m starting to see things!

How well do I feel I completed the requirements of this week’s assignment?   I think I completed this 1st assignment well. I read the directions and followed along and created all the social media accounts. Finally, I created my blog and put it all together. 2. What gave me trouble? What did I enjoy most? … Continue reading Week 1 Summary

I thoroughly enjoyed this talk! Campbell brought up numerous points relevant to the use, or lack thereof, of online spaces in the college environment by both faculty and students.
