Final Reflection

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I really liked being in this class.  When I first found signed up for this class i had no idea of what I was getting myself into. The first day when he said no test I was like YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! My very first class where all I have to do  is learn and keep it to [...]

Final Reflection

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Alright, so I just wanted to start off saying that I loved this class. It was by far one of my favorite classes I have ever taken here at Mary Washington! However, the first day I walked into the class and found out that we would have to set up our own spaces and eventually [...]

Course Reflection

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

I had a lot of fun taking this class. Being a computer science major, I knew it wouldn’t be too difficult for me, but I didn’t expect it to be as fun as it turned out to be. For the first time teaching the class, I thought the professor did a pretty decent job. There [...]

I feel like it will paint a better picture of what our class has meant to me and the effect it had on me if I go about this reflection from a completely different angle. No matter how I look … Continue reading

Digital Storytelling: Week 2

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Week two was dedicated to exploring and experimenting with the “Domain of One’s Own” Gardner Campbell had conceptually framed in week 1. They all bought a domain, and what I found interesting is a number of students bought .info domains because they were cheap (.89 cents), I kinda like that. A domain is a domain [...]

A little late but who cares…
Gardner Campbell was nice enough to skype with our class and give us his insights on technology and the limitless potential we can use it for with regards to computers. All though most of it went over my head, I was still able to take out some key points of [...]

Augementing Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

 I understand what Douglas C. Engelbart is explaining in his paper but its just the thought of having a computers do all of this for us makes us seem a little lazy. And last time I checked, being lazy wasn’t a good thing. But the way Engelbart breaks down how we process information in our brains [...]

“A computer is an instrument whos music is ideas.”-Alan Kay
Alan Kay and Adele Goldberg’s creation of the Dynabook was a great stepping stone towards the advanced technology we have today. In Kay’s paper, Personal Dynamic Medium it says that the Dynabook is relative easy and that a child could use its simulations and design them [...]

Technology, Ignorance, and Photoshop

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

The readings and Gardner Campbell’s talk got me thinking about a few different topics related to technology and using it. First, I liked the idea of a “cyber presence,” and that it’s “not linear.”  The visual of your life on the internet as more like a cityscape got me, and I decided to make a [...]
