My New Media Class - So Far

So far, I enjoy my new media class. Professor Friedman is not just traditionally lecturing the class (which I feel boring) but teaches the class materials through interesting class discussions, plus she can always find funny YouTube clips that are related to the class materials. I especially like the Plain English Clips which explain the essential features of new media in a way that are easy to understand. Thus far, I have finished all my assignments for the class, but I have a hard time on finding relevant articles to my research topic on google scholar. Ahhhh! I haven’t started my wiki contribution yet, almost forgot this part of the class. Today’s wiki lab wills definitely get me start on that. Aside from that, I have no other problem. And now I am a bit more actively on varies of social networking sites like facebook and twitter, but only blogging for class purpose because I don’t like formal writing.

  1. Everyone likes the youtube clips. Every professor should show youtube clips. Makes class much better.

  2. Yes, I agree with that. And the Plain English clips for me were the most informational ones because they actually explain how new media technologies work/are used.

  3. Because of this class I'm also more actively involved with social networking sites such as Facebook. I just hope that I continue to be actively involved after the class is over.
