~FIRST WEEK~
Today we got our second Introduction to Digital Media project with a given
theme called “Culture”. This task has a wider variety of topics that I am
familiar with, such as Youtubing, blogging, memes and selfies. I find this
topic more relatable compared to the previous one because it allows us to be
more personal for example, choosing Youtubing or blogging can give you a chance
to talk more about your personal interests or hobbies. You can also try new
things if you want to have a YouTube video.
I decided to do blogging for this mission since I already have an
experience on how it works as we are required to blog most of our works in
college. I also had an idea on what I would do for my blog, I want to share my
artworks and photography from the day I started doing them and until now to
show my improvements. I also want to let everyone know that everyone can become
what they want to be as long as they work hard for it. I find this topic quite
convenient since I already have artworks and photographs ready from previous
years. The only challenge for me now is how should I deliver my idea to connect
with the audience and make them understand my views, and I must also look and learn
how to become more comfortable with the new layout of the blogsite that I will
be using for this mission.
I was lucky to have formed a group immediately with the people that I'm already friends with. The people that I will be working with are Enoh Flanagan and Khang Pham from my group. I am also hoping that my goup and i will communicate and work with each other.

Before we start our blogging presentation, we planned what we must do
first by going through the mission information together again and discuss our
ideas. All of us have good ideas for our blogging presentation and we came into
a conclusion that all of us should find a blog-site to try and experiment its
layout and other elements on each blog-site. At the end of this mission we will
compare the blog-sites that we used to identify which one has the best blog site platform
to use and we will also talk about our experiences and their advantages and
disadvantages.
Enoh decided to do her blog about the types of music and singers that she
listens to while Khang did a fan page about his favorite football player, Lionel
Messi. Each of us have different ideas and topics about our blogs which makes
it more interesting because we don’t do the same thing so we can all discuss
the differences easily.
My goal for this mission is:
·
To improve my
confidence when presenting
·
To gain more
knowledge about blogging
·
Improve my
communication skills
·
Improve my IT
skills
·
Learn
effective time management
