Introducing Sofia Fanty

Hello and welcome! 


    My name is Sofia Fanty.  Currently, I am a sophomore at Stockton University.  I am member of the Honors Program and treasurer of the Stockton University Anime Club.  As of now, I have not decided on a major.  However, I am interested in potentially working with animals, theatre production, or video games.  I am employed at Aunt B's which is located in Brigantine, New Jersey.  The summer season is extremely busy, and employees have many behind the scenes responsibilities aside from assisting customers.  Tasks typically include cleaning, restocking, and making products aside from ice cream in between providing customers with service.  From this job, I am able to practice quick thinking, problem solving, social skills, and money management.  


    An interesting fact about me is that I have studied abroad through the program CIEE to Tokyo, Japan, during July of 2017!  I was only sixteen years old at the time and would start junior year of high school come September.  It was an amazing experience and very insightful.  I recieved the opportunity to study Japanese language and culture.  I hope to have the opportunity to learn in an unfamiliar landscape again. 

    For more information about me, please visit my LinkedIn page and my Instagram where I document my highlights while attending Stockton!  

Thank you for everything and please watch me as I grow my online proficiency!

Creatively Curating Content

          Last class, we went over the website Paper.li to help find articles related to our majors and interests.  This will help us curate content for our twitter accounts and be informed in fields of study.  Also, Professor Calderwood told us that we have access to the program OneNote when we use our school email.  A feature that I found innovative is the ability to embed audio in the document.  My favorite aspect about the class is when I am introduced to software and receive a "crash course" on how to use its features for my academic advantage!         Paper.li allows people to create their own personal, virtual newspaper.  One of its best features it provides is automatically posting articles to your social media accounts, with your permission of course.   In this article , Jay Palter uses his post to convince his audience why this feature separates Paper.li from similar websites, like Scoop...

The Social Media Buzz

Image
         Last week, the class's midterm project was due.  The assignment involved us researching and creating a presentation on somebody who lost their job due to social media.  Students were to watch the videos and upload questions on three separate posts during the span of the scheduled class time.  There was no Zoom that night!   Personally, I enjoyed watching the videos but felt sad when I only received one question.  My paper and presentation was on Alec Holowka.            Alec Holowka found the game developer called Infinite Ammo.  He is best-known for his roles in the devolvement of the game Night in the Woods .  The game originated as a kickstarter and was available on Steam.  Themes in Night in the Woods include mental illness, mobile immobility, and economic despair.  Night in the Woods was very successful during 2018.  In 2018, the game ...

         I n class, we are starting to prepare for our Midterm project.  The assignment is to research a person in our field of study/interest who had their career damaged due to poor internet etiquette.  From this research, we will write a paper in APA format and present our findings as slideshow to the class.  During class, we were introduced to a multitude of programs that can make our presentations more engaging.  These programs include: Show: Prezi , Visme , Haiku Deck , Emaze , Google Slides , Microsoft PowerPoint , and Canva .  Most of these programs are available for free or provide a free trial.  For recording our presentation, the available options are Loom , Quicktime (exclusive to Mac computers),  Screencastify , and Reflector .  I created a presentation with Visme for the class activity which I posted on the blog here !          This week, I read Chapter 3 of Light, Bright ...
