From podcasts to games to doodles, I’ve “written” in so many new forms of media during my time in this class, and what I’ve come to realize is that each medium comes with its own set of strengths and weaknesses that require you “write” in slightly different ways. For example, while podcasts are perfect forContinue reading “You Can Tell I Really Like RPGs”
Looking back through all of my favorite movies (at least with iconic scenes that other people would recognize), I immediately thought of The Silence of the Lambs. The movie itself is chock-full of famous lines (“I had his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti”), a testament to how great the script was.Continue reading “Just Had An Old Friend For Dinner”
Check out our game here! Our very first podcast episode looked at the way complex medical terminology played on existing anti-medical biases within many communities resulting in people often choosing alternative explanations and medications which were often harmful to them. Back during our planning stage of that episode, my teammates and I realized that ourContinue reading “Provocation and Palliation”
Following our episode from the previous week, my team and I decided we wanted this final episode to tie back to as many previous episodes as possible. In particular, we decided to expand on the theme of the importance of language that we discussed in our first episode by looking at the loss of precisionContinue reading “Never Mind, My Voice Isn’t That Bad”
When I saw the prompt for the assignment, I immediately thought of those memes where the titles of the songs in the playlist tell a funny story. I wanted to incorporate this idea of telling a highly specific story into my playlist as well by varying not only the titles but also the lyrics andContinue reading “I’ve Got Raisins In My Toast”
As I walked by the library the other day after class like I usually do, I prayed I wouldn’t encounter someone smoking. Since the path I take is somewhat secluded and tucked away behind trees, the likelihood my prayers would be answered essentially came down to a coin toss, and on this particular day, IContinue reading “Smoking’s Da Bomb”
Since I have no prior experience with HTML or CSS, I took my time with this assignment to learn the syntax and some commands as well as figure out what all the tags did. While I definitely would not call myself proficient enough to code a complex webpage, this assignment better helped me appreciate allContinue reading “A King’s Landing (Page)”
You can read my technology literacy narrative here! The current discourse among parents is that as children become more literate with the use of technology, they become less literate when it comes to reading or communicating with peers. However, my experience with technology and those of my classmates seem to reflect the opposite, that is,Continue reading “Reflection: Revising My Technology Literacy Narrative”
Early on in our brainstorming phase, we decided we wanted this episode to be about the kind of language people use to talk about the pandemic. But despite having a general idea of what we wanted to talk about, we weren’t really sure about what our thesis for this episode would be. After our discussionContinue reading “Help, I Had To Listen To The Sound Of My Own Voice”
When I heard the proposed title “Voices Through The Mask”, I immediately thought of an image of multiple people of different age groups and occupations looking directly at the camera, laid out in a collage of some kind. Browsing through the templates on Canva, I noticed one thumbnail that fit my idea, and after browsingContinue reading “Voices Through The Mask: The Thumbnail?”
