My new media class - so far
My New Media class is going great so far. Every single week you write blog, tweet, work on your wikis, and so on. It’s a class where you learn bunch of new things about new technologies, how to work with it and etc. Once we had an online class which was basically read an article and tweet about it, which I personally though was a great idea. However, there were some students in class who never used twitter and for them might have been little confusing but I guess that was one of the reason why professor made us tweet about the article so students can get use to twitter. Also we work on our wikis and contribute to our favorite wikis as well. All required assignments are posted online and its all of the assignments are done online. The discussion that we have in class is great, student involvement, and the video professor uses from the show “OFFICE” as an example is the best. Overall this class is going great.

The Office has a surprisingly large amount of scenes relevant to New Media. I didn't notice that until taking this class.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I've only been in one other class that used clips from shows/events and in that class, the clips tended to drag on for way too long without being all that relevant.
ReplyDeleteThese are short and to the point. Perfect for my attention span!
I have actually used twitter only once before we did it in class
ReplyDeleteI really think twitter is something to get use to. Not everyone are use to posting what they're doing frequently. Also not a lot of people have quick access to internet to update. I totally agree when you say the classes are great. and yes, the video clips are awesome to watch
ReplyDelete@ Eric, i personally don't follow the show but i agree with you and i was surprised as well. This class is amazing. :)
ReplyDelete@ Taco, i know what you mean. i been through that and its so annoying, wasting time.
@ Stephen, i was on the same page as you. wasnt that big fan of twitter at all until this class.
