Assignment #2- Giphy madness

I think engaging content makes. blog post successful, like by adding things like a call to action or a gif or joke something that keeps the reader alert and wanting to read more.Looking back at my first assignment I definitely didn’t reach anywhere near what good blogging is,honestly I didn’t put much thought on  it I just wanted to get it done.

The first day of CT101 was so fun and inspiring to me. I was not too ready at first but as the class when on and the professor was speaking I was so motivated and so inspired. I was telling as many people as possible about the speech the professor gave.

In addition to that, hearing the professor talk about how the class was gonna go, I felt a wave of relief.

Most teachers have such a heavy workload so knowing this was a class where I could be creative and not have such a heavy workload was such a relief.

Compared to all my other classes CT101 seems to be very easy, I have so many essays I’m going to have to write for my other classes, so knowing this class isn’t as work-heavy is incredible.

I feel like on the internet people lose themselves trying to fit in, One of the creative potentials I can think of from this class is that it will allow people to learn how to express themselves and be as creative as they want without feeling the pressure of being confined to a “trend” box.

Learning how to use new internet tools has been extremely helpful for me, especially as someone who wants to pursue a career as a content creator and  YouTuber

As for storytelling with gifs I do think that there are many stories that can be told with a gif there are so many gifs from one image with different text that each tell us something about what the user was thinking or feeling. And for that reason i also think gifs will be here for a very long time and will just continue to grow and evolve so more people can communicate through the internet easier. I know that have evolved already to where you can choose which part of the picture moves.

I’m pretty excited about all the things I can learn from this class. I also think it’s pronounced G-if, i sometimes use J-if though it slips our easier than the other pronunciation.

  1. Looking good!
    So far so good on this, many nice flowing GIF examples (curated by you) and a nice intro to this post!
    But wait, hmmm, a few things are missing for sure-
    Please re-read the assignment blog post – you seem to be missing many specific questions that were asked, as well as referencing supporting materials in the assignment post.
    Thank you!

    1. I went through assignment 2 again and didn’t realize i missed so many questions, after going through it I think I answered all of the questions I was able to spot. I think I mixed up assignments before sorry about that.

  2. I love your viewpoint on the class, and the added pronunciation of Gif that not many people realize. I agree with you, this class is incredible and unlike other classes in terms of the workload and it being a course of gained experience rather than regurgitated information and memorization only for tests.
    Good Job!
