Intuition + Creativity + Immediacy

I think there are two different ways that these concepts can be ordered. Simply put:

Creativity -> Intuition -> Immediacy

You get an idea and without having thought too much about it you still sort of understand its potential so you act on the idea right away.

Intuition -> Creativity -> Immediacy

You have an understanding of what something could potentially become so you then use your creativity to bring it to life in that very moment.

---

The first half of this assignment was all about being introspective, which is an interesting concept…until it’s happening and it becomes more intimidating, less interesting.

What does being alive mean to you? Have you ever defined it beyond someone else’s interpretation?

CARPE DIEM! To be alive to me means being present and fully aware; understanding that every moment is a chance to find joy in whatever you’re doing. I don’t think my interpretation has ever been solely defined by anyone else but I do acknowledge that it has been influenced by others.

At first I found it extremely difficult to come up with answers for certain questions so I skipped them. However, I noticed that in talking about the process of creating the web pages, I was actually able to indirectly answer most of them.

MY WEBPAGES

Working with mmm.page was mostly trial and a lot of error, for the first page especially. I thought it was going well until I saw there was a 10 image upload limit and I had already used all ten and deleted nine of them, leaving me with one image (that I found on Pixabay.com and edited on Photopea.com) on my page to work with. I had to resort to using gifs, stickers and quotes to compensate for my lack of visuals.

1st Page

In the process of trying to figure out the platform I forgot to take screenshots to track my progress. Even though the process didn’t go as planned, I was able to stick to my original idea, which was having the theme of the page be critical thinking because it was a recurring topic for me the entire week.

The quotes I used came from google searches and remembering stuff from movies and an article I read for an English course last year. Given that it was about critical thinking and the idea of being able to think on your own, it was only right to include the statue “The Thinker” in there somehow. Even though it was the trial run, I like this one a lot better.

2nd Page

The second page I completed was much harder than I thought. Although I had better knowledge of the platform and how it works, I found it harder to visually come up with an idea. In hindsight, I realized that I went into it focused on the limited amount of images I could use and how I should use them wisely, which caused me to second guess myself a lot during the process. 

My idea for this page, which I didn’t go through with, was the topic of duality (something I’m very passionate about). I didn’t feel like what I envisioned was what I was creating and especially for it being a subject I love discussing, I wanted the page to be something that I could wholly appreciate in the end.

What I eventually settled on was just creating how I was feeling while trying to figure it out, which I guess was the whole point of the assignment anyways, being able to take a step back and “Ask yourself: “What is the creative potential of my awareness of this moment? What would you like to express about this moment and the awareness of it?”

 

ASSIGNMENT #7 PICKING A DOMAIN.

My domains name could vary a lot depending to what kind of topic my page will be speaking about, however I will stick with housing and the buy and sells of houses, the 10 names that I could possible go for are as follow.
#1. Housing and Buying.
#2. Sweet Home Sweet Dorms.
#3. Great Properties made Properly.
#4. Feel like Home.
#5. Ordinary Homes.
#6. Real State at Great Rates.
#7. Mr. Properties
#8. Secure a Future.
#9. Get a Great Place to Live.
#10. Good Place, Good rest.

I think they will be a great way to attract people towards my page, and let them know what is the page about by just seeing the name of the domain, well my thoughts on my website is that It will probably die in the black whole that is the internet since I lack the Experiences on making websites and pages, and as an average 18 years old I do not have a house by myself, and I barely have any knowledge on the stock market, one of my favorite websites are YOUTUBE which looks like this:
And the Reason why I like it it because, #1 it’s easy to use #2 I’m used to it and #3 it’s really easy to learn and explore it, another Website that I like to listen to music is SoundCloud, which looks like a bit like YouTube, but still pretty much different, SoundCloud looks like like this: 

Well, here we are. I have to say this is the most unique midterm I’ve ever had.

How am I doing in CT101?

I think I am doing well in this class. So far, the material has not been difficult to grasp despite its sometimes intimidating look. The first time I was intimidated was building the webpage in Assignment #5. But that entire assignment was all about introspection, which helped in taking some of the pressure away from designing the page.

How many points have I earned so far, and what grade do I believe I am maintaining?

That’s the question of the day! I won’t attempt the math, but I believe I’m averaging a B+. The basis for this is that I haven’t missed an assignment and have been commenting on my classmates’ posts.

What have I learned and retained the most?

I have been learning how to use Premiere Pro and Audition because of Assignment #4. One of the things I’ve retained is how to make gifs! I absolutely love Giphy! It is easy to grab a video from YouTube and create a gif. It’s much easier than I thought it would have been. In some sad news, the maker of Gifs, Stephen Wilhite, recently died.

What new skills have I developed, cultivated, and displayed regularly in my weekly posts?

How about I show you?

Assignment #3 was integral in me learning how to do this and has been one of the highlights of this class. I admit I need to use more memes in posts. Because, so far, Gifs have been winning this war.

How do I assess my performance through self-reflection in this class?

I assess my performance by how creative I can make my posts in this class. I’m happy if my posts incorporate some elements from previous assignments, such as gifs from Assignment #2, to supplement my writing.

What do I know now that I did not know before taking this class?

There are a few things CT 101 has taught me. As mentioned above, this class has helped me learn how to make gifs and memes. But I also have been experimenting more with Adobe Premiere. Another thing this class has taught me is that creativity and academia go hand in hand in the working world rather than stay separate like how it is in school.

Do I see my weekly blogging work expanding creatively? If so, please explain –  or am I stuck in a loop where my posts seem to look the same most of the time, how will I change that?

My work has been expanding and developing as the weeks go by. Assignment #1 looks entirely different from how it used to be. It now has a gif, photo, hyperlinks, and even an embedded video! While my posts share these elements, the content of the posts is entirely different, so they do not look the same to me.

Are there any assignments that you are missing? If so, list them. Are you commenting regularly on your classmates’ posts? Are you responding back to comments given to you by the professor & your classmates? Are you participating during the class time? If not, explain why. This is the time to be accountable. How will you make needed improvements?

I’ve been dreading this question since seeing it in class.

As of this mid-semester post, I do not have any missing assignments. This is mainly partly because I make sure to finish assignments in order from where I left off. And I do regularly comment on my classmates’ posts.

However, where I am lacking is replying to comments from everyone. This is a bad habit that developed during the days of Discussion Board posts. Hardly anyone ever responded to comments. But I see the purpose of commenting back. This way, it doesn’t sound like you’re talking into the void. Instead, you can actually have a conversation while developing your interpersonal skills.

While my camera is usually off during class, I ask questions and try to participate in class. And I have missed two classes. I will try to have my camera on more and won’t be missing any more classes in the future.

Creativity is when I get to make something, which is almost every day. It can be a piece of writing such as an article for the newspaper or a creative writing class. Besides words, a common factor between these two types of writing is spending time piecing together everything like a puzzle. 

Immediacy is having to get something done before the deadline. For me, this has always been a double-edged sword. I love procrastinating and doing work at the last minute. I think I’ve done some of my best work under this pressure. But, on the other hand, I don’t like it when I have multiple projects due or some last-minute thing comes up and prevents me from sticking to my last-minute schedule.

Intuition is when I recognize if a situation is good or bad. You can call it vibes or a gut feeling. This is a far cry from using logic to make a decision. Instead, it is all about getting in touch with your feelings. 

In fact, all of the above concepts are interesting in that they are not governed by logic but rather your emotions. 

I have moments where I become hyper-aware that I am alive. It is always very surreal realizing where you are and that you are essentially confined to a body. It can mess with your head a little. 

Being alive to me is more than the definition of breathing or existing. It is all the little pockets of time that I enjoy BBQing with my family every Memorial Weekend or defeating a difficult video game boss, crying at K-Drama, and ziplining through a forest. This is one of my favorite songs that perfectly encapsulates this idea of just living life.

When I started this post, I had no idea what to create for my mmm.page. But just sitting with my thoughts (scary, I know) and thinking through the questions, I was able to narrow it down a little.

Creativity is the execution of an idea which has both originality and value. It can also be the ability to make or otherwise bring into existence something new, whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or a new artistic object or form.

Immediacy is the quality of bringing one into direct and instant involvement with something, giving rise to a sense of urgency or excitement

Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge without recourse to conscious reasoning.

To me Being alive is enjoying your own company and living in peace and harmony with your body, mind and soul. you don’t need other people or material things.  Being alive is the consequence of personal effort and living a life of purpose. 

 

 What are you inspired to do? 

Inspiration is something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create. Nevertheless, I think and believe that there is much more to this word. Inspiration is something that motivates you to be better and do better.

The top 3 things that inspire me are

Ambition: Ambition can be defined as being eager or hungry to aspire and accomplish something it is one thing I can’t get enough of. When I read about people who are full of ambition.

Doing new things: Doing something new is a source of inspiration to me, too much of the same can eventually get too mundane.

Art: I often turn to art for creative inspiration because it represents pure ideas and histories, born of little else but supplies and the artist’s mind or memory. Artwork can feel limitless, “anything can be art,” we tell ourselves.

 

 

 

There are the two project that I would like to do on this site
https://assignments.ds106.us/types/visualassignments/page/4/  .
One of the Project name “Name the Flower” and other one “The Forest Gump Project”

Project: 1
My First project I chose from Visual Assignment .

In this assignment, I was instructed to look up the name of the flower in the photo on the internet and name it.

First, I open the google chrome browser and  on the search bar type “Find the flower name”. Then google suggest me lot of website “How to Know name of a flower”.
Then I click on the website name gardeningchannel.com . In that site there are lots of flower image and description where to find those flowers. I find the flower on the 7th page on the  website. The name of the flower is “Corepesis (Tickseed)”. There are lot of kind of Corepesis, Common tickseed has yellow to orange flowers, many with double petals. However, the Image of the flower name is ‘Golden Tickseed’. It grows between 18 and 24 inches tall. There is the link on Youtube about this flower.

Project: 2
The Forrest Gump Project.

In this assignment, I asked to find a picture with your-self in the history. For this project I have to use Photoshop.

First of all, I had to download Adobe Photoshop on my phone. I used to edit on my PC. However, since a couple of weeks my PC has not been working. So I had use my phone to edit this picture. First, I search a picture of Forest Gump on google. Then I mix another picture within it, for that I cutout the subject and copy that image. Then, I click the first image and paste the cutout subject into the picture.

What are you inspired to do? 

I am inspired to succeed in whatever I choose to do after college. I am not completely sure what I want to do, but I want to establish myself and become more financially independent. I work a lot and I push myself a lot to stay on track butI know that if I stay disciplined I will be secure. 

What are you inspired to make or create?

I am inspired to build my own house. One of my long-term goals is to invest in multiple homes as soon as I can so they can be a form of income for myself as I grow older. I have a really creative imagination and when it comes to decorating, I’ll always have a plan or idea of what I want and how I want it. 

What are you compelled to create? 

While working with mmm.page I was listening to this song and it inspired me to design my page around the lyrics, “External validation is not a prerequisite for self appreciation.” It is something that always resonated with me ever since I first listened to this song, and I even have it tattooed on me. I wanted to spread this message to anyone that might need it. 

What did you create? 

I created a page that was minimal with the intention of the viewer to focus on the main point. Social media, magazines, music, etc., continue to fill our eyes with misconceptions on how we think and feel. We become judgmental not only of ourselves but of others but, I wanted to create a page that reminds us to love our skin for what it is, not for what we think will please the eyes of someone else.

Assignment 4: Digital Storytelling Project Flexibility

Assignment 4 recap: I had fun looking at the different assignments and it all seemed interesting to do, it was difficult to choose just one assignment that I wish I could do.

Assignment 5: Creativity

Assignment 5 recap: We had to make our own websites, I had difficulty deciding what I wanted to do with mine and what to add like if I should add only pictures or maybe add gifs too.

How am I doing in CT101?

I think I’m doing well but it can be a bit stressful and overwhelming especially since every week I’m learning and doing something new so it takes me some time to be able to do the work.

How many points have I earned so far and what grade do I believe I am maintaining? 

I’m not sure how many points I have earned so far but I’ve been doing all my assignments and commenting on my classmate’s posts and trying to get better at responding to comments and participating in class. I think I’m maintaining a B+ in this class.

What have I learned and retained the most?

I’ve learned how to make GIFs, add hyperlinks, and memes and basically be more creative overall. I retained making GIFs the most, I use GIFs in almost all my posts and I try to hyperlink more in my posts, but sometimes I forget to hyperlink.

What new skills have I developed, cultivated, and displayed regularly in my weekly posts?

Some new skills I have developed are making GIFs and memes. In all of my posts, I add GIFs, I don’t add many memes because I don’t know how to use them in a way that makes sense yet. I want to start using memes more often.

How do I assess my performance through self-reflection in this class?

I assess my performance through self-reflection by taking into account the comments made by my peers and checking if I improved on that in my new assignments.

What do I know now that I did not know before taking this class?

I didn’t know how to make gifs or memes before taking this class. It was really cool to see how simple it was to make, I always thought it was complex.

Do I see my weekly blogging work expanding creatively? If so, please explain –  or am I stuck in a loop where my posts seem to look the same most of the time, how will I change that?

I do think my weekly blogging has been expanding creatively, at the beginning of my posts I would barely add any gifs or images but now in my weekly posts, I’m adding more gifs and sometimes images of what I’m doing. As well as, each class we learn to make something new so next blog post I can include what I learned last week into my blog post. I don’t think I’m stuck in a loop.

Are there any assignments that you are missing? 

There are no assignments I’m missing, I try my best to submit all the assignments on time.

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

I do try to comment regularly on my classmate’s posts and I have been getting better at responding back to comments before I wouldn’t respond to the comments but now I respond back.

Are you participating during class time? If not, explain why. This is the time to be accountable. How will you make needed improvements?

I don’t participate much during class time because I don’t have any questions on the assignment we have to do and if I do have questions when I’m doing my assignment I just look back at the zoom meeting. I will try to participate more by responding to the teacher when he asks us something so he knows I’m present in class.

Your experience with the mmm page..

I realized that your email is the key to activating the page and wherever you activate it, the page will upload on the device in which you activate it. For example, I initially opened up the page on the computer but since I needed my email to activate it.. I used my phone to confirm my identity and the page opened up on my phone instead of the computer. It was pretty tedious having to bounce back from email to the page but it does save my the annoyance of remembering a username and password.

I immediately had a song in my head and I created the work surrounding the song. The song is Jungle by Drake and therefore I created my weird interpretation of a jungle. It was fun creating this because I have never made anything like this before and it really got my gears in my brain moving.

This is just a preview, I attached the song to it too so that you guys can get the same experience that I have in my head. You’ll just have to click on the picture to get the full experience but this one can only be fully viewed on a desktop. Sorry for those who are viewing on a phone!

Next..

Since my week has been crazy, I’ve decided to dedicate my next post to how I’ve been feeling lately..

Once again, you guy would just have to click on the picture to get the full experience of the page and this time I made it compatible for those viewing on a cell phone (you’re welcome) and this post was more of a metaphor for what is going on currently in my life.

I can’t wait to create more fun and interactive projects as the semester continues but until next times amigos!

What is..

Creativity is one’s personal creation or idea from their own inspiration or others to produce something by their own self.

Immediacy is the perception of physical and psychological closeness between communicators. I thought it would be something happening right away.

Intuition is your gut. Whenever you get a gut feeling about something, that is your body telling you about a situation or thing before you get the chance to physically figure it out for yourself.

In what order do these words go?

Intuition+Immediacy+Creativity=

After taking a moment to think, being alive means living life. Some people are alive and not living- this is where things can get complicated in life because some people forget to enjoy themselves. It is not about your destination, it is about your journey. Death is inevitable and that is where we will all end up one day and life is too short to stress over the little things, not spending time with your loved ones, picking up the phone and calling someone you haven’t spoken to in a while, holding grudges and being angry. Negative energy does nothing but bring the person holding it down.

Sometimes life forces us to calm down. At the moment, I am appreciating life a little bit more because I’ve been sick on and off for the past two weeks and I think it is my stress manifesting itself into physical form. God is literally telling me to calm down and not overwhelm myself. I put this stress on myself because sometimes I feel like I can do it all, like I’m superwoman or something. I’ve come to realize that I’m not, I am a human being and it is okay to say no to people. I constantly get stuck trying to please everyone, be there for everyone and do so many different activities and I forget to take care of myself. I forget to tend to myself, appreciate myself and be grateful for what I have in front of me instead of trying to pursue one and a million things at once. I’m doing the best I can.

Space is ever-expanding and I don’t think our minds have the capacity to know how much of a spec we are in this universe. There are things in our existence that is bigger than us and smaller than us, just like situations we encounter on a daily basis throughout our lives. I think it is important to be cultural, open-minded, loving, genuine, mindful and empathetic. As humans we all have different abilities that we share with the world that has an impact (whether it be big or small) on the world but if we touch at least one life and change it for the better, it is still significant. Some of us teach, create art, make music, cut hair, are doctors, are nurses, are police, are firefighters, are cab drivers, are janitors etc. All of these “jobs” are just some of the significant contributions to our society and there are so many other subdivisions to each job that is just as equally important.

Currently,

I am in the multimedia studio where our class was held today and I am the last one here. Everyone left and yes, it is peaceful to have the time and space to myself. I can hear myself think and I can write this post without interruption and I can actually hear myself think. I can hear my body telling me to relax because as I’m writing this, I am relieving some stress. Writing is such a good therapy method and it is something that I haven’t done in a while. This self-realization could be considered healthy and I agree with it. I’m on the apple computer while my laptop is open next to me and my phone is playing my class because here I go again doing a bunch of different things at once. I do like being occupied because that leaves no dull moment in my life.

What are you passionate about?

I have multiple things that I am passionate about but in essence I love animals and I love playing sports. I am a dog groomer and it will soon make a year that I’ve been grooming dogs. I am a 2-sport varsity athlete, playing volleyball and softball.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to bet a veterinarian but I doubted myself and thought that I was too dumb to be an animal doctor. Math and anything math related is like another language to me and it is so hard for me to learn and grasp the ideas or formulas or numbers or anything else about it for that matter. I’m currently pursuing my bachelors degree in journalism and I’m expected t graduate at the end of this semester. However, after I attain my degree I do not wish to continue on my journalism career because I don’t love it. I’m so grateful for the learning experiences and the knowledge that I’ve acquired throughout the years but if I’m going to live the rest of my life working then I should do it for something that I am passionate about. I wish I had done it sooner but everything happens for a reason and with the ideas and plans that I have in my head, I might be able to use my degree but we’ll just have to see how this goes.

First fun project

This project caught my eye off rip because there’s not a lot of TV shows that I watch but I did fall in love with one. The Vampire Diaries is one of my favorite series to watch and I like that it has extended series to it and the story continues. I’ve re-watched it probably at least 3 times and I can’t wait to finish it to re-watch it again. I feel like every time I re-watch it there is something new that I’m learning about the show or things that I missed throughout the show.

For those of you who have not watched the show before, let me gladly introduce you to Damon Salvatore. He is my favorite character and he is very very handsome, I absolutely adore him. He is an impulsive character and he feels deeply even though he tries really hard to hide it, he will do anything for the person he loves at the expense of others. I think I admire his intensiveness because I consider myself to be intense too and I can just relate to him.

This is the big and bad Niklaus Mikaelson, one of the members of the original vampire family. In the show, he is predominately known as Klaus the hybrid. He is half vampire and half werewolf but the rest of his siblings are just vampires and the reason for that is his mother had an affair with a werewolf and they didn’t find out til later on. With all of this being said, it is obvious that Klaus is one of the most powerful beings in the show.

This is one of the main characters Elena Gilbert, in my opinion she is a walking tragedy. She’s lost so many people throughout the show and she also leaves a trail of broken hearts. Her character is interesting because even as a human, she is considered to be supernatural and you’ll find out why in a second.

This is Katerina Pierce better known as Katherine Pierce, she is introduced as a 500 year old vampire who ran from Klaus majority of her supernatural life because she betrayed him. Before any questions arise, yes it is the same actor playing two different characters and that is because they are known as the doppelganger. A doppelganger is basically a look alike from different generations but along the same bloodline. I find it funny how they distinguish the two by hairstyles, one has straight hair and the other has curly hair. Nonetheless, it is an interesting feat.

Out of all of the assignments “Design” caught my attention because it is usually not always a single picture. This flyer is a collage with so many different edits: a filter, words on the picture, streak design across the picture and both phrases on the picture is different font that is used. I really like the uniqueness of the flyer and the color pop. I might need to learn how to edit the photo, I think I can figure out how to do the collage portion of it. I think it’d be challenging for me to change the color of the people on the flyer and still manage to contrast the people from the actual flyer. The lines at the front of the flyer is a design that I’d have to learn too because it gives the flyer some liveliness to it and I would like to learn how to do that.

On another note,

I think these kind of assignments would be really fun to do because every subject has multiple assignments and it is to your choosing. Maybe at least 4 or 5 assignments should be done throughout the semester. Each assignment is a learning experience, learning and building emergent storytelling skills and retaining new tools to create them.

I think these skills are important to learn because we are in a digital age, people who are tech savvy get hired quicker than a person who is inexperienced with computer technology. People who are technologically fluent, they make the company they work for an easier, faster and efficient place to be.

What are you inspired to do? 

I am inspired to complete college and graduate with my Bachelor’s degree. I am inspired to live a good life with a house of my own, cars, lots of wealth and a great lifestyle. I am inspired to one day get married and have a beautiful and successful family. Lots of things inspire me. I push myself a lot to accomplish things because I know that I can do it. I work hard now because I know that one day all of my hard work will pay off and it will benefit me in the end.

What are you inspired to make or create?

I am inspired to create businesses that can one day benefit myself and others. I am inspired to create opportunities that can help people who need the help. I aspire to create happiness and a safe space for people who really need it. I create to show others that they can do exactly what I do if they work hard enough. You only conquer what it is you want to achieve in life through hard work. Anything you put your mind to you can do it and that is what inspires me to make and create. 

Blog Post #2 for Assignment #5:

What are you compelled to create? 

While working with mmm.page I was compelled to create a project with a few images that reflected me. The pictures and gifs that I chose go along with who I am as a person, what I like and what I enjoy. 

What did you create? 

I created a page that people can use to network with me. My email address is there, my Instagram name is there too so in case someone wants to get in touch with me, they know how to reach me. I put images and gifs up there related to the things that I like and enjoy. I think that is why I enjoyed this project so much, because it was about me so it was easy to do.

Digital Storytelling Project Flexibility

For this assignment, I had to do some research on the DS106 Assignment Repository, & choose 2 projects from the list that I have attached above.

Project- 1:

Since I am a senior, doing a major in Computer Science, I already have some skills to do the Code Assignment and I believe I can figure it out on my own quite easily compared to the other categories.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have many options to choose from compared to other categories in DS106 Assignment Repository.

There were only 2 code assignments and obviously, I choose the easiest one where I only asked for 10 -20 lines of code to solve a simple problem. Luckily, it didn’t ask for any specific programming languages which means I can use any of the programming languages. Therefore, I choose C++ which is a middle-level programming language to complete this assignment.

Again, I could use any online compiler to write and test my code, so I used my favorite one Repl.it.

Prompt: Here, I am planning to solve a simple mathematical program, where the user is asked to enter two integers (divisor and dividend) and the quotient, and the remainder of their division is computed.

Step -1: 

At first, I open my online compiler and select C++ as my preferred programming language. Then I wrote the code and save it. This is what I wrote:

Step -2:

After compiling the code, I run it to test if it is working perfectly. When I click on the Run button the code, the program asks the user to enter dividend and divisor. Here, users can enter literally any integers according to their choice. However, I have selected 10 as dividend and 5 as divisor.  Therefore, I got 2 as the quotient and 0 as the remainder, which means my code is working perfectly without any error.

Step -3:

Although the code worked absolutely perfectly in the first place, still I did another test to make sure everything is working fine. This time, I have selected 100 as dividend and 15 as divisor.  Therefore, I got 6 as the quotient and 10 as the remainder, which is absolutely correct!!

Since this project was very easy and I did it pretty quickly, I decided to do another project from DS106 Assignment Repository, and this time I choose my second project from visual assignments. 

project- 2:

In this project, I was asked to search up on the internet the name of this flower from the picture and name it.

First of all, I open the Google Chrome browser and search for yellow marron flower, and thankfully within a second, I found the exact same flower.

Then, I clicked on the second image and it took me to a website named bobvila.com, where I found the name of the flower by scrolling down a little bit. The name of the flower is Coreopsis.  However, I also find out that this flower is also known as Golden Tickseed. You guys can buy the plant from Burpee.com for 13.99.

project- 3:

For this project, I choose from animated GIF assignment because I want to develop my skill in making GIFs as they are really important for this course.

In this assignment, I choose this GIF and I am looking forward to having something funny subtitle for it.

I found this video tutorial on YouTube, where I can learn easily how to add subtitles to GIFs.

 

How am I doing in CT101? 

I would hope I’m doing good but I’m not really too sure. I do think I am growing a bit but I think I am still a bit slow. Which is something I’ve always dealt with when it comes to learning something new.

How many points have I earned so far and what grade do I believe I am maintaining?

Maybe 82, my problem is that I take too long to come up with the right idea I want for class, so it pushes me back. Ive been trying to take notes whenever I come up with an idea because at times I can have so many ideas I do not know which one to pick. 

What have I learned and retained the most? 

I learned that I should be more comfortable with expressing myself and that will always stay with me. Before I felt like I had ideas, but I was scared to put them out there.  

What new skills have I developed , cultivated and displayed regularly in my weekly posts? 

I learned how to be creative in a simpler way and that’s by using gifs or memes.  I used memes and when I would send them I make sure it represents exactly what im feeling not just something random. Though whenever I would use them it would take sometime to find the right one. To me displaying the right meme for the right moment is what I would display in my weekly post.

How do I assess my performance through self-reflection in this class? 

I assessed by taking notes from the comments made by others and by reading others’ posts. Some people’s ideas maybe similar to mine or different, either way, I can learn from them  

What do I know now that I did not know before taking this class? 

I didn’t know that I would be able to be so expressive and free in this class. I had some idea of what the class may offer but I didn’t think I would also have this much fun.

Do I see my weekly blogging work expanding creatively? If so, please explain –  or am I stuck in a loop where my posts seem to look the same most of the time, how will I change that? 

Sometimes I do feel stuck but Im not sure if im stuck on a loop or not. It is hard to be your own critic at times. 

 Are you responding back to comments given to you by the professor & your classmates? Are you participating during the class time? If not, explain why. This is the time to be accountable. How will you make needed improvements?  

I saw the comments that had been left-back, but I did not know I was to respond back on all, I didn’t see any reason to, but I did take note of what was said.  

Are there any assignments that you are missing? If so, list them. Are you commenting regularly on your classmates’ posts? Are you responding back to comments given to you by the professor & your classmates? Are you participating during the class time? If not, explain why. This is the time to be accountable. How will you make needed improvements?

Assignment 5 is the only one that I haven’t done yet because it is a bit hard to start it, since I have to narrow down  things about myself.Even this assignment was hard since I had t0 focus on myself.I take notes from the professor and fix any error I madeI do plan on responding back to classmates it just slipped my mind. I do think I should participate more in class by talking. Im just not sure how, and I dont know what I should say. I do the work and I’m listening plus taking notes. 

Are you commenting regularly on your classmate’s posts? I do take notes and opinions but at times it slips my mind that I have to express them to others.Even when the professor comments I take in the new information and fix things for past and future post.
