Final Blog Post

We are at the final post so fast, This class was very informative and enjoyable at the same time. I enjoyed how easy it was to learn everything and to pick them up as well. I have been using a lot of the skills we have learned in other classes for my projects and I know some of these new skills will be helpful when it comes to getting a new job.

Learning how to build a website was pretty cool as well. Me personally I will not be keeping up with it, It’s not something that aligns with my goals right now but it’s also a cool skill to say I know how to do something like that

Assignment 10- Website Customization.

Honesty coming up with what I wanted my website to be about was pretty difficult because there are soooo many different things.

But I ended up making my website a reading review kind of website.

Assignment 9- Registering A domain

Honestly I expected this website making business to be a lot of work but, I found creating and customizing it to be very easy and actually quite fun.

My main issue right now is that I didnt receive a verification email or a second one so my domain was deactivated I’m waiting for an email to be resent, it still hasn’t been sent so I’m gonna wait to see if anything happens so I can continue to customize it and have fun with it.

I didn’t have many domain names in mind honestly. But here are the ones I did have in mind…

1.AliyahJohnson ( just because it’s my name,very simple and easy) taken unfortunately my name is basic

2.Aliyahnicole(also my name i wanted to stick to things I would remember)

3.Alinetwork.com( i have no idea why I thought of this one, I was thinking of television and this is what popped in my head.

Part of me is nervous because there are so many hackers and things like that, but another part of me is excited to learn a new skill.

I have zero ideas on what I want my website to be about, I have a few ideas on how I want it to look, something minimal so that there isn’t too much going on. I did look on Pinterest for a few website ideas.

I’d like mine to look something like this just more pink than brown or maybe a mixture of both. I’m excited to put a creative spin on my website.

Assignment 6-Digital Immediacy

Creativity is… being able to express yourself  using your imagination

Immediacy is…how quick you are to act when anything comes up

Intuition is… something you feel in your gut. in other words a gut feeling

In what order do these words go?

Creativity +immediacy+ intuition… In that order

Being alive means going with the flow and not stressing too much about the things that pop up in life, or even if you have a “plan” in life being able to go where life takes you and enjoying it. Rejoicing when the “bad” times occur. learning to dance in the rain. That’s what it means to be alive.

For the project i ended up using mmm.page, it was alot easier for me to navigate and way more user Friendly in my opinion.

The first thing I did was choose the pictures I wanted to work with, I started off basic just by picking images that showed my favorite color is pink.

Once I got all the pictures I wanted, I played around with how I wanted it to show up. It was partially difficult because I had to crop most of the pictures so they could fit on cellphones as well. But once I got it down here is the finished product. I can’t promise that I’ll use it again unless it’s for class but I did enjoy making something that shows a little something about me.

Assignment 7- mid-semester reflection…

I would say I’m doing pretty good in CT101, I get to class on time and participate when I can, and I’m also starting to get the hang of these assignments.

I would say I learned how to use hyperlinks I see them everywhere and before this class I had no idea how even to use them. Now that I think about it I could’ve just searched up “how to use hyperlinks?”

I mention that to say that hyperlinks are something I’m learning to use regularly because I aim to be a content creator and hyperlinks are so much more efficient and less wordy.

All though it took me a minute to learn how even to blog or how to make an efficient blog I think I’m getting the hang of it compared to my first post

What grade do I believe I am maintaining and why do I deserve that grade?

I think the letter grade I  am maintaining is a B+. I think I deserve that grade because I do attend class(bare minimum) but besides attending class I’m only missing one assignment ,in addition to that I participate in class when I can. I can improve on that, I just don’t like interrupting and then next thing I know we’re on the next assignment.

Do I see my weekly blogging work 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?

compared to my first post my blog work has definitely expanded because I had no idea how to hyperlink and I wasn’t really  trying I just wanted to get it over with. but now that I know how to do more my blogs are more creative. I know that I can add more videos and images  my laptop has been running out of space though  I’m trying to get in that.

Are there any assignments that you are missing? If so, list them.

I’m only missing assignment number 6.

I have so far completed

Assignment 1, Assignment 2, Assignment 3, Assignment 4, Assignment 5 

Are you commenting regularly on your classmates posts? Are you responding back to comments given to you by the professor & your classmates?

I actually have not been commenting much on anyone’s post because I had so many papers and homework in other classes and I genuinely forgot I comment.

This is the time to be accountable. How will you make needed improvements?

I will definitely start cutting out time so I have more time to do everything and get my assignments done on time

Assignment #4- Ds106

The first thing I did was A daily assignment post because I was having a hard time with the other post.

What I learned from the assignment was how to make a custom eye chart. I’m not too sure how many things this skill could be useful for maybe If I happen to become a doctor or even for a party game or even a room decoration.

The next assignment I chose to do was a seeds of Hope project. I picked this one because my message could possibly spread hope to others. And I think these projects could be very useful for teaching things like communication and even how to help and encourage others through the internet.

One passion of mine is a hobby. Since when I was little Dancing has been a passion of mine, I used to watch tutorials all the time when I was younger when my mom couldn’t afford to send me to dance classes.

For me, it was a way to release some of the stress and pent-up anger from glass and just overall things that would occur In my life. It was something That always managed to make me feel good and forget everything that was going on.

I remember when I fell in love with dancing, I was trying out for my first talent show and my aunt agreed to help me come up with a routine. And she figure that I would do a good job dancing since I was too nervous to sing. And it was somethingI learned that I was really good at.

From that day on I enjoyed dancing and joined ballet for a short time, I joined as many dance clubs as I could and even was on the cheer team from elementary school until highschool

I personally do think memes count as a form of art, It may not take much thought or be as hard as other forms of art but, I think it counts.

After googling  if memes were art,

I found many links and many people believe memes are also an art form. To me, art is just a form of expression no matter how much effort it takes. Art isn’t just a painting. Even some paintings can take very little effort and still be considered art. Just like the video, we watched in class, the YouTuber mentions how creating a meme is art.

I think that to a certain extent memes being here to stay can be both good and bad because some people are just cruel and will use memes as a way to be mean as well, But at the same time, it can be good because it gives many people a way to express themselves and will also give them a way communicate and relate to others

.

Memes can definitely be used to tell a story. there are so many different memes put there with the same picture but most of them mean very different things because many people have different interpretations and perspectives of the same picture.

Wow, this is pretty cool, Anyways what has made me happy this week is that it’s my birthday week. My birthday was actually on the 7th and I’m officially 20.

One of the other things making me happy this week is waiting for the new harry potter game to come out. I’m such a HUGE harry potter fan so I’m really excited for that.

Anddd yeah I think thats all from this week that I can remember that has made me happy.
