2) -----
  1.  The two units discusses both the learning cycle,  which involves properly gathering information.  The other involves new-media composing algorithm which involves combining different methods.
  2.  The four exemplars explored the internet as a unifying tool that can be used for your benefit.
  3. My image composition combined my admiration for film and my computer.
  4. My website and blog are pretty standard but define who I am. I think that I have some interesting content within both.
  5. All of my Facebook post have in some way, possessed topics that would be viable for discussion.

3) Things that jumped out at me were topics that influenced discussion and were touchy subjects. It's always interesting to see other people's perspectives.

4)  A rule of thumb for Film to take risks, otherwise it's just generic and cliché.

5) I feel as though all of my assignments pushed the boundaries a bit and allowed the reader to think outside the box.

6) I think that the next step to push the boundaries and bit further in order to spur some more discussions.

Project Write-Up

I. Introduction to Project

Turns out that before I was even in DMA, I already had a blog on this website, which is kind of funny. Creating the blog was not too difficult, for obvious reasons. The most complicated part was organizing the present content on my blog.

II. Self-Assessment

Creating a blog or website is pretty basic if you know exactly what you are going for. In this case, I knew that I wanted to create a thread that was singularly for DMA. I didn't really encounter too many obstacles.

The project helps you with organization and researching topics online.

I will apply the same organization that I developed from this assignment when I'm crewing on a film set- keeping everything in order. Googlesites isn't the most professional, so chances are that I won't be using it to promote my personal work.

Normally I just assess the problem/situation as I'm working instead of waiting to completely understand what I'm doing. Kind of did the same thin for this. I saw that we had to make a blog, and took it step by step along the way.

I followed all of the instructions and accomplished each task, so I think that I did pretty well. I didn't exactly have a lot of available time, but I got the job done.

I would probably try to allow myself more time to work, unfortunately, I'm crewing every week. When I don't have a lot of time, I feel as if my overall presentation of assignments are not to my best potential.

III. Corrections to Work

I am going to try and work out the kinks with my website. I've encountered minor problems that aren't too hard to fix. Just some layout changes.

IV. Conclusion

I'm going to try to step up my work a bit, but it all depends on how much time I am allowed. All in all, I've always wanted a reason to start blogging again, and I'm glad that we are incorporating it into this assignment.
