@colewattssdsu Even though the video was released in 2009, many of the speaker’s experiences are still common today. Specifically underrepresented poc in mainstream media and literature. #RHUB305
If we limit ourselves to a single story, we limit ourselves to growth. The speaker recalls that her childhood stories were all the same in that they were extremely europeanized. If stories had more representation in them, children especially would grow up feeling seen #RHUB305
Chapter 2 revealed an interesting concept called Banking model of education. One thing that really stood out to me was the fact that Freire recognizes common issues within the education system such as how students are not called upon to know but to memorize the contents. #RHUB305
While watching the Steve Jobs presentation I noticed strategies he used. One of the most beneficial was his use of comedic relief to keep his audience entertained and engaged. I think the most important take away is finding ways to keep ur readers entertained. #RHUB290
@makanayoung_ Hi Makana! I agree this is definitely useful information for your report. It’s both data and information and clearly shows that disposable cameras are causing unnecessary environmental pollution. I’m interested in what the rest of your report will reveal. #RHUB290
This graphic shows a more detailed breakdown of child labor around the world.This is going to be useful because it provides extra information that our readers can sympathize with. #RHUB290
After reading “How Businesses Use Information” I got a more clear understanding on the difference between data & information. For my report, I am researching child labor. One article I found helpful revealed that there are 160 mill children enhanced in child labor! #RHUB290
@makanayoung_ hi makana :) I completely agree that problem statements have the ability to make or break your report. Problem statements entice the reader while also providing a brief overview of the writing piece. #RHUB290
It’s important to include a problem statement in your report. It engages the reader and highlights your topic. It’s important to remain unbiased and without placing blame. Because we are a marketing business our problem could be separating ourselves from the competition. #RHUB290
After reading Writing Reports, I noticed a pattern within the given examples. Each report had headings throughout their message. This is important for organization and emphasis but it is not very common in academic writing that I have done in the past. #RHUB290
@ianwh58 Yes! People tend to be drawn to things that are familiar to them. Anything too new can be scary or intimidating. It’s important to find the right balance of “newness”. This is something I also learned from Thompson’s article. #RHUB290
Drawing from my experience with social media ads, I know that a lot of users have grown skeptical of legitimacy and r cautious of scams. Insta has a poor reputation due to it being linked to mental health issues. Yet, it is one of the most popular apps for my audience #RHUB290
After reading this article, I found it most important to understand the concept of“optimal newness”. This is a skill the father of industrial design perfected. People suffer from both neophobia and neophilia therefore it’s crucial to find the best balance of the 2 #RHUB290
For this assignment, I will be using WIX. I was pleasantly surprised on how easy it was to use. Much appreciated for those of us who have never built a website before. I like how they offer suggestions and tips. The aesthetic of their website was also good #RHUB290
one thing that really suck with me while listening to the podcast was that a website is useless if you don’t understand your client base(ei how they’re buying from you or discovering you). it’s also important to not focus solely on design but also structure and content. #RHUB290
@aconway75 Hi! I agree. building a client base is about building trust. it’s important to understand ur clients needs in order to meet them effectively. the same goes for understanding ur audience when writing a letter or memo. #RHUB290
I read an eMarketer article that discussed the rising popularity of email marketing. This is something I plan to employ because email is one of the most common forms of communication today. 79% of people consider email to be one of their top marketing channels. #RHUB290
Some business services I want to explore are planning events, selling technology, advising companies. I don’t have a specific market or age group in mind but I hope to reach international businesses and make use of my mandarin studies. #RHUB290
@KwinL22 There are many different forms of persuasion. You must be consider this and your audience in order to effectively persuade. Are you persuading a child to take a nap? or are you persuading a wealthy CEO to invest in your business? It all impacts your writing #RHUB290
