Twitter Week

Twitter

Ahh, Twitter

Up until last week I have managed to avoid Twitter. I have evaded it with the most amazing skill. I have dodged it like it's Kale.

But no more.

This week we learned about Twitter. We had to make a post on Twitter using our articles. I used my article about GBBO and posted it on Twitter. It took me a few tries at it because I kept not liking the way that it would turn out.

We learned about how Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media have different specs for their layout. Each one has a different size that they want different images to be. I went in to use Canva, tried to experiment with that a bit, but it made me feel a little angry so that will be a song and dance for another time.

I think my Twitter post came out ok. I included the dreaded hashtag
#stillnotafan
#nothanks
#onlyforclass
as well as the link and a photo. It looked nice and directed people right to the article so I would say that's a success.

Maybe Twitter will grow on me more as I learn more about it and experiment with it more.

Virtual Reality

Virtual reality was the topic of the week this week. I had never worked with this before and I find it fascinating! When I thought about virtual reality I always associated it with gaming. I had seen those commercials on TV with people staring into a small box holding their phone, freaking out about how "cool" or "awesome" something was. To be honest, it is a bit ridiculous watching someone with those, since you cannot see what they are seeing. When our professor brought some to class and I took a look I understood why people thought it was so cool. Looking through those and being able to turn one way and another, with the image changing, is pretty cool! Then, today in class, a fellow student showed us what they use virtual reality for. They have a camera at her work which makes online 3D models of houses which are being sold so you can take a virtual tour. I had never stopped to think about how those online 3D models are made. Listening to her explain the wor...

Final Class

Well, today was the final day of my Emerging Media class. It has been one of my best classes in my long, long college career so I am a bit bummed that it is over. It is exciting to be done with the semester though (almost)! Only one semester left and then done!! This class helped me learn a lot about social media. I had been boycotting hashtags heavily since I first saw them. I still don't use them on a daily basis, however, I now see that there is a point to them. I think I will forever be irritated by people who use 20 on one post on Facebook, but when used for their intended purpose I think they are very helpful. I'm still not a big fan of Twitter, however, Instagram has grown on me. I think I will continue to use that. I like the shorter format with more graphics than words. This class also helped me realize that, though I do love to bake, it will stay a hobby. I have had people suggest turning it into a business and I have considered that from time to time. Being in ...
