@gabyz3phy Loved your reflection video! Found is so interesting how other people had the same takeaways from the course as I did! I'm also guilty of being like the older generation and thinking writing the internet was easy, it is really not! #ccom315

@FitzhughElla Loved your reflection video! I also struggled with wordpress (really not tech savy). Your blog was super cool to look at, I loved how you debunked myths about anxiety in a super succinct, yet informative way! :) (the colour also added a great touch) #ccom315

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

The one thing that was persistent in most of the videos was the fact that writing will be a lot more succinct. We already see that will platforms such as twitter which give us a strict character limit #futureofwriting #315WeekEight

Here's my lightning post💫

@virtualcasey awesome! thank you :)

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

For our revised blog posts is it ok if we leave some paragraphs as is or do we really have to change everything? @virtualcasey

The show "You" shows a way of writing the internet (in a creepy way). The killer can so easily track his victims every move simply because she is constantly posting on social media. Shows society's obsession with social media&how easily we can be looked up #315WeekEight

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

I don't really know how to answer the question "of online participation outweigh the pressures and complications of the “always on” lifestyle" (slide,4). At the moment I'm completely over the "online", but I can't say that it doesn't have its benefits #315WeekEight

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

After this course, I've made the decision to try to disconnect myself from social media and all online things to fully enjoy my summer #315WeekEight

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

Just like Boyd I feel "always-on". Especially with the pandemic and constantly being on Zoom, I feel as though I can't escape the online world #315WeekEight

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

Final blog post ideas:
- Letter to my younger self as a soon-to-be uni grad(after this course -interview with mom)
- Fashion tips I've learnt from my mom -the person who introduced me to fashion
(yes, my last blog post will include my favourite person)

Thinking of what to write for my final blog post ... would an interview count as a digital genre @virtualcasey #315weekseven

Editing the wikipedia page of my hometown was super fun since I knew what information was missing as a native of my town… hopefully I made the page much more accurate! #ccom315 #315wikichallenge

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

I 100% agree with Doyle's quote on slide 9, I find it rather disturbing sometimes how Western centric and male centric Wikipedia can be (thus omitting many other articles); if wiki is meant for everyone, there should be an article written about everything #315WeekSeven

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

As a history major, I’ve definitely seen some systemic bias on wiki when it comes to their depiction of women in history, usually just regurgitating what another white man wrote 100 years ago about the same woman, never taking into account the misogyny of the day #315WeekSeven

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

A definite pro about Wikipedia is that it’s just a quick way to get basic facts about a topic, let’s say you’re having a conversation with a friend and need to look something up, it’s pretty reliable for the basics #315WeekSeven

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

@hannah_bicher Definitely agree! I remember kids in elementary school editing some wiki pages just for fun… definitely don’t want to be getting your information from a fifth grader #315WeekSeven

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

Besides when it comes to school, I always use wikipedia to get any information I need on the fly. It’s also really well organized so I can just click on a subheader and get the info I need quickly #315WeekSeven

[Cassandra Renda @cassandra_renda]

@Chelsea_Orr17 So true, high school and CEGEP made it seem like wiki was the worse thing in the world! I actually had a prof in uni who told me before starting any assignment to look at wiki to get a better sense of what the topic is about #315WeekSeven
