I will be captivating my audience by adding many interactive applications and being an active friend requester and poster. I will be active in the social networks and actually try to get relationships established in the networks.

Next Project

I am not sure what kind of character I am going to come up with for this project, but I have few ideas. First, I find the teen culture on such social networking sites to be fascinating, but scary all at the same time. I may make some teeny-bopper character and have some fun with that. I also thought it might be interesting to use a picture of my boyfriend and create an alternate character for him because he has such a striking resemblance to a well known movie star/heart-throb. He has been mistaken for the person several times, and I think making him accessible to the online community would be fun Either way I know I am going to enjoy this project whichever route I choose to take.

I really enjoyed this assignment. I thought it was a very original way to get students to write in a new medium. I had never blogged before, and wouldn’t know the first thing about it until this project. I was able to be creative and use photos and maps to help tell my story. I think personalizing the different elements of the blog and map was an innovative way to get us into multimedia writing. I am still not completely certain how to change and edit the blog, but now I am confident that I can use this writing medium in future projects or just for fun.
