@goluckyducky I also watched the presentation for index card poetry. It’s really cool to see all of the creativity on campus going on even in the midst of a pandemic!
@StephinMcC Experiences like this are great for helping make career choices! It’s a great way to dip your toes in and get a feel for what it will be like post-graduation.
Just finished watching some MiM presentations. There's a lot of creativity going on at this campus! Be sure to check out the hybrid text "To Sleep" and the future documentary about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. #mimconference2021#mimjournal2021
Working as part of the MiMJ team has been so much fun this semester. Great job to everyone who presented today and everyone who has published with the journal! #mimjournal2021#mimconference2021
@alyssamancusoPR I’ve definitely gained a better understanding of design and how it can work for and against you in a project as well as how to tailor a design for a specific audience #engl318mu
@michelleelise_ I can definitely relate to not liking to go back a lot to work on a project. I’m one of those people who sets aside a chunk of time to work on it. I find that my ideas aren’t as deep or thoughtful if I only work on it for 15 minutes here and there #engl318mu
Content is everything that has a purpose and is designed and presented for someone (a specific audience within a particular discourse community, although that “someone” could be yourself in some cases). #engl318mu
These key concepts and content will help me in other classes bc if I can identify my aud., discourse community, purpose, etc. at the start of an assignment I can better tailor my writing to the reader which will make the content stronger #engl318mu
User experience is how someone navigates through a space. Well designed spaces tend to lead toward a more positive user experience bc there are less clicks involved, more eye-catching sections, etc. that make it easier and more enjoyable for a viewer to use #engl318mu
Audience are the specific people your content is targeted towards (audience is not everyone). Content should be designed to very clearly and quickly tell the reader who it’s meant for. #engl318mu
My writing process begins w/reading an assignment as soon as it comes out & then waiting a day or so to start it (if the due date allows). This gives me a chance to process & come up w/ideas. Then I write everything in one sitting (if I can) & revise revise revise! #engl318mu
@madiggs1 Same here, looking at good content versus not as good content has really taught me that even poorly designed things have a lot that go into them. #engl318mu
@laytonn38 This is so true! There are so many times when I’m scrolling through social media or google something where I’m not necessarily part of the target audience but I need to understand the content too (usually for research papers) #engl318mu
@scout1917 Same here, I have to write all of my thoughts down before I can go back and edit. And editing for me usually means rewriting everything I wrote the first time #engl318mu
@laytonn38 Is your guide for new users looking to improve or experienced users? If they’re newer I don’t think a step by step would be boring/pointless. If they’re more experienced u could add a note saying to keep doing any steps they’ve been doing bc it’ll improve the account #engl318mu
@scout1917 I like the diff. colors & I think it’s a good way to break up the text. The colors show that each of the words are different ideas (and then you tie them together w/the paragraph below). Also using IG colors helps focus the design around IG itself, in my opinion #engl318mu
This is my conclusion for my H2W guide. In the outline it says reflect/connect where you see evidence of the elements of the H2W guide in your content. I’m not sure I’ve quite done this. Any suggestions of what I could add? #engl318mu
@madiggs1 I really like the format you’ve got! It makes it easy to follow along as a reader. My only suggestion would be to not underline the entire first section. Underlining can sometimes be difficult to read when there’s a lot of it but I like that each section looks diff. #engl318mu
@mstoltzfus15 I don’t think your main takeaways are repetitive. I like that you summarize the paragraph up with them, it not only helps the reader if they skimmed the paragraph but it also tells them specifically what is important (in case they missed it in paragraph format) #engl318mu
@Kmfunk03 I like it! My one suggestion might be to put the picture examples beside the step they go with (so that you see the image as you read the step). But I also like it the way it is #engl318mu
