Conclusions ______ Module 5

Image
This is me, in the truest sense. I have worked and worked my brain, emotions, energy depleted, and anxiety, headaches, near tears, want to scream, not sure I could finish..... and then some! I am not sure what else there is to say... but thank goodness this is the end. I enjoyed the struggle and would have loved this class and all the tasks if I had more time to play with them and not feel so much pressure. Between my internship and SEHD classes and this class and family and team mom and tournaments and my relationship and life in general.... i am wiped.  Week 13 Challenge: K.Martin's Education Timeline https://time.graphics/line/d956839bb829f53c5315d9f93a63369c This was my biggest challenge. I could not get the Knightlab Timeline to work. I even watched three YouTube video's but couldn't get it to register my start dates. I decided to go a different route and found Timegraphics. It is not as cool as the other one but it still incorporates media and served it...

Culture Machine--- Module 4

This Module was fun and more carefree. I enjoyed the idea of the culture machine and remixing. I have loved hip-hop and have heard remixes my entire life...but that goes for everyone. I really enjoyed the Everything is a Remix   weekly watch, I feel like for those who doubted how much sampling goes on, got clarification or affirmation that it has been happening and happens to all sorts of artist. I spoke about this in the hypothes.is discussion: I had not idea about the piecing and chopping up of literature by W. Burroughs. I'm sorry but metal and many other genres "knock off/sample" all the time, especially from the blues and black musicians. Many times musicians of color were not able to produce and get credit for their work or claim legal rights to it, so it was easily taken. Look at Elvis. "Zeppelin copied without making fundamental changes" This is key to the remix remastered and I think what artists can start to turn sour. I'm amazed how much en...

Module 3: Digital Identity

The idea of digital identity and what our future is turning into is a bit creepy. In module three we took a look at: finding voice, alt-identities, and data identity. In week 7, the weekly watch Draw My Life was- Kelly Eden was pretty awesome. I found it to be an uplifting and creative way to tell your story and journey. She showcased her skills as an artist and was open and honest about her life and struggles. MissT333 from Wind made a good comment that I agreed with:     I love the concept of sketchnoting as a way of presenting information and especially a story. It's fun, engaging, and can be the modern generation of a picture-book I think. This is also a really great form of media for not only the advanced or avid artist like Kelly, but is even a great form of expression for someone who doodles or just likes the idea of trying to draw. You don't have to be an expert in order to tell your story in an engaging sketchnote video. I think this would be a great way ...
