Building Your Digital Identity, Literacy, and Network
This is my very last post for JanTerm 2016! It was actually pretty fun, and hopefully I’ll keep this blog up so continue to follow along if you’d like! Anyway, for this assignment I had to read chapters 5-10 of Smarter Than You Think by Clive Thompson (which was actually a really interesting book that I’d recommend, […]
This is almost the very last post for JanTerm! I’m sad to see it go, but excited to see what I’ll make with this blog. For this assignment, we used the Story Map builder to tell a story using, well, maps! And as you may know, I love history. So I decided to tell my story about […]
Alright so now we’ve been instructed to connect to three blogs that aren’t our classmates (so this is kind of a spin off of this post. Since I don’t really know quite what I want this blog to be, I decided to connect to three blogs that coincide with my interests: travel, fashion, and cooking/baking. I […]
JanTerm is almost over! I’ve gotta start thinking of something to blog about other than this course so I can make use of this website. But anyway, for this assignment we got a little freedom to choose what we did. We were given a list of assignments from a similar course, and asked to pick one that interested us, […]
For this installment in my JanTerm blogs, I’m commenting on three of my classmates blogs and adding some of my ideas to what they’ve been saying. Anjali wrote her third nugget post on the same article that I did! Maybe it’s just a good article, because it seems like everyone wrote about that one. Anyway, in her […]

The first article I added to was the Nacogdoches, Texas article. I added information on the first oil well to the History section of this page. […]
WOW. So here is the knowledge artifact I created. A doge presentation by me! I chose PowerPoint because it was the most helpful tool for me to create my presentation on the doge meme. It provided a familiar platform and I could create this slideshow and stuff it with as many doge memes as even I could […]
Here is another nugget of thought from me, directly to you. This one I got from this blog by Alan Levine, and it’s helped me get a little more comfortable in my blogging! He writes So for me, blogging is not about writing for other people (though with syndication and truly open networks, it is a […]
This is my second nugget post for JanTerm, and this nugget is one from an essay by Ted Nelson on computer literacy and media on the web. Nelson writes that Computers are simply a necessary and enjoyable part of life, like food and books. Computers are not everything, they are just an aspect of everything, and not […]
Yesterday we worked on a collaborative timeline of the history of the web, and this post is to talk about my contributions to that timeline. My contributions were the slides “Mosaic Comes to Life,” “A Dot-Com Bubble” and “The First YouTube Video.” For our assignment, we’re discussing the significance of one of these contributions, and I’ll be […]
