        In class today, we were introduced to a plethora of programs that help create slideshows!  We were tasked to pick an unfamiliar platform and create a presentation centered around our plans for Halloween.  Check out what I created here!  I hope you enjoy!

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.it for example.  One tip Palter mentions is to follow the authors of the sour

The Social Media Buzz

         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 won IGF's Seumus McNally prize for best independent game of the year.  Currently, the game is available on steam, playstation 4, x

Website Curation Guide

           Last class, we  discussed our final project.  For this project, we will be creating a professional website for ourselves to showcase what we accomplished and learned during the semester.  The website will include a resume, an about me page, a contact tab, and more!  Some examples of websites that can be used for building my project are Weebly , Wix , and Google Sites .  I am excited to create this project, and other people to see what I can offer!            There are many options available for website curation.  With all of the platform  available, people may feel overwhelmed with which builder to use.  In Business Matters Magazine , the people behind the magazine share information to determine which website builder is best for an individual's needs.   Squarespace has a starting cost of $12/month, but discounts are not hard to find since many YouTubers partner with Squarespace and provide trials.  This builder is good for security.  Wix and Weebly are very similar.  Bo
