The Beginning of the End

After reviewing the previous year’s final projects, I was conflicted as to what type of story I should remix.  I don’t really have any attachments to fairy tails, and I may fail this class if I followed my moral compass and worked with conservative political topics.  Recently I watched the new lifetime movie “Lizzie Borden”…

Presentations Day 3

The site that I found the most interesting of the presentations that were given today was Dipity. I would like to get the chance to use Dipity because it seems similar to the site I did my presentation on, which was Storify. However, instead of creating a story or article like on Storify, Dipity allows […]

Day 3 of Project 2 Presentations

Today my favorite presentation was Stephanie’s on Infogr.am. It looks like a really interesting site for creating infographics. I created an infographic last year for a class and understand the time and work that creating a well-designed infographic can take. With that said, Infogr.am seems to remove some of that work by creating templates for […]

Day 2 of Project 2 Presentations

My favorite presentation today was Ali’s on Storybird. It looked like a great tool for budding writers and to discover other amateur. I’ve written for pleasure in the past and this seems like a great way to get back into it. I took a creative writing class my sophomore year and learned that feedback was […]

Day 1of Project 2 Presentations

I really enjoyed Tinny’s presentation on SoundCloud. It interested me because my tool that I am analyzing, Popcorn Maker, draws from SoundCloud to add music to movies. I have come across this site online a few times before, but it looks like an excellent way to find new music. I also really liked the sharing feature […]

Project Presentations: They’re Finally Done

Obviously my favorite program today was Storify, since it was the only option. I thought it was cool that it allows you to make many elements of social media together, and I would use it to create a comprehensive look at someone. Today, I fixed issues with my pages not lining up and shifted information […]

Last Day of Presentations!

I really enjoyed listening to all of the final presentations given in class on Friday! I can’t believe how many tools we learned about this week that I didn’t even know existed! Although I might not use all of these tools … Continue reading

10/16-10/20 Presentations

Out of the presentations, I’d would have to choose Prezi as seeming the most helpful with Storify coming as a close second. The advantages of having an application that can really mix up the presentation archetype would be too good to pass up, and despite the learning curve with using it I think the pay […]

Interface Presentation: Pixton

On Friday we heard some more presentations. Each person went through and talked about their interface and what it was and how it was different from other interfaces. All of the presentations were good and I learned a lot about new interfaces that I had previously not known about. All of the interfaces had their […]
