CUNY York College – Digital Storytelling
Domain names, this should be a interesting one🙂.
I am not sure if I have a specific one in mind but I can list three that I can think. Here are the candidates😎.
With not having a website in mind as of yet, I will experiment with these three candidates. After that, only one will be crowned the winner and the rest, better luck next time🫡.
Wow, I can’t believe it’s the end of the semester already but it came. I feel like I did better this semester and honestly happy it’s over now because I can focus on other things and rest a little bit🙂.
You learned how to build a website, will you maintain and keep up your new website? If so, how? If not, Why not?
This is a great question right here. As of now I am leaning a little towards of maintaining my website because the feeling of creating something is pretty good and I do appreciate anime. I didn’t know I had it in me to create something but I tried this class Ct 101 which helped it out a ton. My go to options for multimedia was Memes and Giphy.
I finally can tap into my creativity without any restrictions. I’m a little nervous but here it goes.
The time at last has come for me to create my domain name for my webpage🫡.
I honestly wished I could have used all three names because I’m the type of person to include a little bit of everything. But I know like I said according to my last post there can be only one winner🥲.
As for the process I was confused when I saw this part?
Now on the main event of creating my website🙂.
How am doing in CT 101?
I honestly think I am managing well with the type of schedule I have but I am still pushing through. I am behind a good amount of assignments in this class🥲 but applying the strategy take one assignment at a time is helping me out a lot🙂.i
What I learned and retained the most?
What I learned the most was all the tools and things that are required for blogging, posting, and even trying to have a presence on the internet🙏. One example is the use of using Gifs, memes, and links to help polish a post.
Also learning from the professor and classmates is helping me out a lot🫡.
What new skills have I developed, cultivated and displayed regularly in my weekly posts?
The new skills I developed were creating blogs, creating memes, and using gifs to help further explain my post.
Another skill I learned was time management in this class I always thought getting more done as soon as possible is the way to go but its actually the opposite.
What do I know now that I did not know before making this post?
The thing I know now that I did not know was when the professor introduced us to assignment bank.
The minute I saw that website I knew I was going to have fun with it😎
What grade do you believe you are maintaining and why do I deserve that grade?
This is a great question😓. I honestly think I deserve a B because I do try my best to complete all assignments in a timely manner.
My attendance is bad because I never attended class but hopefully watching the recordings, and commenting on other’s makes up a little bit for the attendance🙏.
Do I see my blog post expanding creatively? If so, please explain why- or am I stuck in a loop where my posts seem to look the same most of the time, how will I change that?
Yes, I truly do see my blog post expanding more creatively. I do try my best to implement new ideas in each post.
There are times when I do feel stuck but with the help of the internet, my professor and classmates helps me expand on my creativity.
Are there any assignments you are missing? If so, list them
Yes, the only assignments are assignment 7, assignment 9, and assignment 10. I am proud of myself of the progress I am making so far🙂.
Assignment 7 https://ct101.commons.gc.cuny.edu/picking-a-domain-name-18/
Assignment 9 https://ct101.commons.gc.cuny.edu/domain-name-registration-hosting-set-up-wordpress-installation-9/
Assignment 10: https://ct101.commons.gc.cuny.edu/domain-name-registration-hosting-set-up-wordpress-installation-9/
Are you commenting regularly on your classmates posts? Are you responding back to comments given to you by the professor and your classmates?
I honestly feel like I am doing well on this part because every feedback I have received, I responded and every responded on a good amount of classmates posts.
Are you participating during the class time? If not explain why.
That’s a great question but I’m not going to avoid it. I haven’t attended any class in person but I am watching the recordings, commenting on classmates posts, and responding to any feedback.
Hopefully I get partial credit for that.
This is the time to be accountable. How will you make needed improvements?
By trying my best to attend at least one class in person and continue to take my time doing the assignments, and continue to participate by commenting on my classmates posts🫡.
This helps me a lot https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2021/08/18/falling-behind-on-work-take-these-steps-to-get-back-on-track/?sh=535f8ffb34be
After a little break, I am back and ready for the action.
This assignment I chose will bring me out of my comfort zone and I am ready for the challenge🙂.
Here is my proof🙂
In everyday life, one of the most used words I hear in today’s society is the word passion. Passion could be associated with anything you love committing your time to or even doing on your spare time.

The thing I am passionate about is technology. We live in age where technology is advancing every year but I honestly feel like it’s advancing everyday. I will be honest, at times I be feeling overwhelmed because of how big the field is and at times feeling lost.

The history of technology goes back to millions of years ago dating back to when humans first came into existence. I honestly thought it was more recent than this but we learn something new everyday.

I am a computer science major but have recently been looking into Information technology because this field have been capturing my interest as well. I am currently experimenting with these two options but as time go on, I will know which field to lean more toward to or even have the option of combining both.
The message I tell myself everyday is that knowing the more I am invested in this field along with practice, the higher the chance I will get to getting my dream job.
Thanks for tuning in🙏
What are memes?
Memes are considered the idea of the replication, selection and ideas that are working themselves in the proving ground. For example, instead of explaining how you feel in words, it may be easier to express yourself and others using something visual which are memes.
The first day of Ct 101 was surprising and I am interested in learning more from this class. This is my first time coming across a class like this and curious of what I am going to learn and be exposed to as the semester goes on.
2. Did you like hearing about the course and its creative content? How did it make you feel?

I like hearing about this course and it’s creative content. I am new to digital storytelling in which being able to create your own story online is great. The course and content has me intrigued.
3. How does CT 101 compare to your other classes so far?

So far Ct 101 is one of my favorite classes. because the workload is not heavy compared to my other classes. Also from being in this class, this class allows me to be myself, and to express myself which is helping me to build up my creativity.
4. What are the creative potentials for this class?
The creative potentials for this class is being able to learn new skills and tools to apply in my life and career. When we master skills, it will be with us forever, and feel that the reward of learning pays off.
It’s interesting that I have an opportunity to learn skills that use Internet tools. The idea of being able to use tools to create something the way how you visualize is something that is beyond words to me.
This week the thing that has been interesting to me is watching the anime show death note. So far I am on either episode 23 or 24. Ever since I saw a preview on this show on youtube, this have grabbed my attention and I’ve been invested ever since.

Right here is the trailer of the show. This is a recommended watch.
