@AliciaSpong Web writing can indeed be very complex, as we learned through this course. It goes beyond just text, but also taking into consideration the context and purpose of the content we create, the audience we create it for, and making it accessible and understandable online #writ318mu
@aeallen03 Awesome that you included both communication and creativity in your response, as they can go hand to hand when we write and share ideas. We often seek and create content for enjoyment and fulfillment, and communicating and creating with other is how we often do that #writ318mu
@sunflowergal11 Interesting perspective! There are various ways of communicating as there are many ways to learn, as learning and communicating come have in hand with one another as we process information #writ318mu
@AliciaSpong This is very true! There is so much content within a cast online space that it easy for people to scroll through what you post . As you said, that is why it is important to be creative and market yourself and what you have to offer as a creator #writ318mu
@eaaparicio Everything that we see is content, it can range from what we upload and contribute the the discourse community, but also the space and platforms we use and the user experience we gain from it #writ318mu
@eaaparicio I agree, but creativity goes beyond design. It also applies to language and the lexical style choices we make to accurately present our ideas while also making them interesting and appealing to our desired audience #writ318mu
@eaaparicio Likes and comments seem like the best go to for collecting numerical data when analyzing social media content, as that is what I used too for my project. It provides insight into interactions and reactions with content. I also documented how frequently creators posted #writ318mu
@eaaparicio That’s great! It is helpful to narrow down the accounts you want to analyze for your project to those that overlap in terms of content, that way it is much easier to compose a cohesive analysis. #writ318mu
@eaaparicio This looks so cool! Very professional appearance and I like the images you used, as it reflects the type of accounts you are analyzing as well as the audience they are creating for. Where or how did you find/create this template? #writ318mu
@samantha_f___ I definitely agree! I love projects where we can apply what we learned to something we are passionate about and interested in. It allows us to think critically about the content we consume and how it affects our daily lives #writ318mu
@MRE1117 Audience analysis is really cool and a fun way of reflecting on the content we use and interact with, which is great that we get to practice it so much throughout this course #writ318mu
@eaaparicio Creating content on your own can be intimidating, but the challenge of it is really fun! Experiment with the space you’re using and look for inspiration from social media or just playing around! That’s how I learned the basics of design with Google, Canva, etc. #writ318mu
@npfannen Working on a routine helps prepare me for a career where there are deadlines I need to follow, and putting myself into a routine-based mindset helps me with time management #writ318mu
@eaaparicio I really like this design you made! It’s easy to understand and colorful, and I like how you connect concepts we have learned so far into info literacy #writ318mu
@MRE1117 That’s a very mind opening observation! In a world where we are so dependent on technology, we often think of online spaces when considering data and info, when reality we also process info and learn from irl experiences #writ318mu
@samantha_f___ As a future teacher, I can certainly relate to your situation. I also intend to switch all my social media accounts to private and use them less frequently when I start teaching in the fall. It is easy to track people’s activity just by searching or following them #writ318mu
