Live Blog on Lib Guides

       Graphics are very important as well as conveying the idea of what the guides represent. Visually appealing as well as the text correlates with the image. Acknowledging the QR code and letting the viewer's know that it will take you straight to the online Library guides. All the guides do not convey what the library guides are trying to represent. So a more accurate representation of library uses. Library guides need to be more accurate in what each section of the library guides is about. More of one stop shopping for your resources in each topic area. The color contrasts such as the white on yellow, or yellow on white has a bad visual understanding. The athletic training with the knee is a good graphic, and the wording is almost correct, but needs to be just a touch more spot on. Grammatical errors in some of the flyers, need to be spell checked. More precise with a bit more punch to being accurately connecting the information and the images. More of a universal theme for all students rather than just isolation one section. So that they students view all subject areas. Extended campus, internet courses as a whole for those students who are onsite or online. There is one place that any student can go to access all the needs in each subject to be guided through the library. Access all subject at your finger tips using the QR code. Acknowledge the power the QR code has and what it actually does to represent the library guides accurately. Communicating to an audience through their language even if you don't speak it to create an understanding.

Anthropological Introduction to youtube

Youtube showing viral videos and how we connect through this website that isn't meant to overrun peoples lives, but yet it shows the lives of everyone all over the world.
Numa Numa went viral especially when one guy decided to let go and feel free amongst himself.
People to people can connect and communicate and interact easier due to youtube along with other websites that are public.
Anyone can achieve the success of a viral video if promoted properly.
15% of all videos on youtube are actually remakes of other videos.
Almost 10,000 of the 200,000 videos on youtube are addressed to the youtube community itself.
Participant observation is joining the phenomenon.
Invisible audience phenomenon. The audience is unknown due to just speaking to a camera. The idea is that the video being created or your image and words could be remade and manipulated.
1st video blogs tend to me one that people blank out, feel nervous and unsure due to the fact we speak to an inanimate object

Granberry Museum

We visited the museum of technology from our past to present and even ideas of the future. How technology has come a long way in the last century and has created a simpler life. The piece that fascinated me the most was the wireless record player from 1929. You tune your radio to the setting or station of the player and the player would then play wireless through your radio. The technology is exactly the same as that of Bluetooth or Ipods that play in cars through stations. The idea had already been created, just was never used for about 75 years later! Shows how even technology can learn from its past.

Pecha Kucha Night in Greenville SC

The night was a Tuesday night. This Tuesday wasn't like any ordinary Greenville Tuesday night. For this night was a Pecha Kucha Night! This night became a short lived yet extremely eye opening experience. There were 5 separate presenters about various personal interests.  

The first was "the most influential man" speaking about how to persuade and influence others for the better good and not bad. As we all know 5 year old's have the power to do. 

The second was a very sophisticated man who spoke of ancient times of music and how its perfection related to that of a perfectly proportional person or angel. Then he spent the last minute of his 400 second presentation playing the instrument. 

The 3rd was a very nervous lady yet the most passionate about her topic. She was a local farmer for produce and plants. 

Then the teenage duo spoke of Social impact or media to improve our overall economy and society. They spoke of fashion as well as proper etiquette to interact with other teens to improve ones wellness. 

The last was the most interesting of all and unique. The man was a Doodler. He would doodle all over everything, from zombies fight robots to dragons and dinosaurs. Showed several different pages of his own work and how doodling is an art form.

All in all the overall presentation was a short Pecha Kucha Night that was broad and educational as well as fun.
