Assignment #2 – Making Our First Gifs and Gif Narrative

What did you think on the first day of the CT101?

Before we had our first class meeting, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve read the class description of course, however, I was still curious to see what the class would actual entail in terms of assignments, lectures, etc. After the first class meeting, I became a lot more intrigued in the subject matter but definitely still a bit skeptical since I wasn’t quite sure how I’d fare in content creation.

Did you like hearing about the course and its creative content? How did it make you feel?

Again, definitely was a bit more on the skeptical side of things since I am not very confident in my ability to be creatively capable. However, I did also feel a sense of excitement. Its been a pretty long time since I’ve created any form of digital media. I want to see what it is I can do creatively in a digital space.

How does CT101 compare to some of your other classes?

CT101 has definitely been a nice buffer between my many computer classes this semester. I know I’m in the process of catching up on work, however, it hasn’t been stressful in the least bit. I would go as far to say that it’s actual pretty therapeutic.

What are the potentials of this class?

I think a potential of this class is to possibly discover a new hobby while at the same time learn about new accessible tools on the internet. One of my favorite parts of the internet is that of meme/gif culture and to find out it’s actually really easy to be apart of and contribute too has been a real eye opener. Definitely will continue to create more even after/outside this class.

How do you feel abut learning new skills that use Internet tools?

To be able to learn new internet skills is the most exciting part! Definitely a favorite topic of mine. So much so that I’ve recently began to teach myself the programming languages necessary to program the front end of an entire website. I absolutely love tech and the internet, so if I can learn the tools that allows me to contribute to this space then I’ll take the opportunity to do so.
