@MRE1117 I think describing creativity as taking your voice and using it in different aspects of content is a really cool way to describe it! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

@MRE1117 This is very similar to my writing process too! I always have to brainstorm ideas and have a structured layout of my writing. If I don’t, I always feel overwhelmed without a plan! #writ318mu

As I am writing my reflection for this class I am realizing just how complex web writing can be, but with the skills we have gained throughout this course, I feel confident in identifying these complex layers. #writ318mu

I can’t believe this course is almost over! These weeks went by so quick but during this time I have learned so many skills, especially understanding how to analyze data that goes beyond the surface level of social media. #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

@alexg_teaches Same here! Understanding the information is one thing, but being able to apply it somewhere else truly helps when it comes to critical thinking. #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

@eaaparicio I definitely agree! I also noticed that sometimes we talk differently in person than when we do online, so our vocabulary usually changes and our grammar is usually pretty different when we are talking in person compared to online. #writ318mu

I have noticed that it is extremely important to be creative when it comes to making a post or writing anything on the web. But you also have to make sure that your content still makes sense to your audience and is not too overwhelming. #writ318mu

I think one of the best parts about almost any social media platform is that you can literally interact and collaborate with anyone. You could write a book with someone who is a across the world or even create music! #writ318mu

@eaaparicio Creativity has been one of my favorite elements of all the projects and assignments we have done throughout this course. It allows me to still apply important concepts and information while also being able to add my own creativity to it! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

@Morgan_PaigeH This is such a good way to put it! Critical thinking is all about digging deeper and looking at the behind the scenes aspect of creating content and evaluating how successful it truly is! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

I honestly don’t think there is one right way to communicate creativity. Creativity can be captured through a story or even through a picture. I think as long as what you are creating reaches your audience then you can be as creative as you want! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

Writing demonstrates communication in many different ways. Twitter is an example as we are able to interact with one another and share ideas by using multiple different elements. We use writing to inform, entertain, or to simply express our feelings. #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

@MRE1117 I definitely agree with you! I’m really excited to incorporate my own examples as it will help me see what I have learned throughout this course! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

@eaaparicio I really love the layout you chose. It caught my attention immediately! Maybe adding a little color to either the text or the outline of the images might be cool! But overall I really like how it’s organized! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

I really like putting together multimodal elements because I feel that visuals are such an important aspect of learning. I think of it as evidence to back up your words! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

As I’m finishing up the rough draft, I’m starting to realize that social media has so many elements and layers to it that I was very unaware of before taking this class. I never considered just how important consistency is when making posts! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

@Morgan_PaigeH This is why I’m also using Instagram too! There’s so much variety of content on this platform and I feel like I will learn the most about content analysis from Instagram! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

@Morgan_PaigeH I’m also excited because I love seeing how different creators use different elements in their posts to grab the audiences attention! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

For our module 3 project I decided to choose accounts that deal with college room decor. I felt that it is something I’m interested in and there are so many accounts about this topic to choose from! I’m so excited to share my own content for this project! #writ318mu

[Alicia Spong @AliciaSpong]

After creating a style guide in module 1, I definitely feel more comfortable creating a how to write guide. I was unsure on what visuals to add but after completing module one I feel that I have a better understanding on how to incorporate different elements! #writ318mu
