My World


1. Teaching media literacy is so important because everyone interacts with media on a daily basis. That media may come in the form of print, video, audio and a myriad of other venues. Teaching to decode that media is what is the most important, so that we are and raise a culture that can intelligently interpret what is going on in our environment. 2. I want to learn different different ways to deconstruct media and as many different perceptions and interpretations of that media as possible. 3. I am concerned that I do not know enough about the CREATION of digital media to compete on a professional, educational, or knowledgeable level. I hope to gain much-needed valuable insight from this course, not only from the professor, but also from my classmates. 4. Assignments are usually due in this course by Sundays at 11:59 p.m. 5. If an assignment is going to be late, you must contact the professor within 24 hours of missing the deadline. partial credit can be given, but not if you do not contact the professor within that 24 hour mark. 6. The best way to contact the professor is via her gmail account. 7. You should not work ahead in this course, as assignment details may change.

  1. Hi Shannon! Your little girl is so adorable-what is her name? :) I loved your pictures, you seem very family-oriented.

    I am also a full-time graduate student, so I'm sure we will both be on our toes this semester. (:

    I actually grew up in Philippi for a while-so not too far away from Clarksburg. The Clarksburg/Bridgeport area has really grown in the past 5 years or so. It's a really nice up-and-coming area.

    I look forward to collaborating with you in this class! :) Best of luck!

  3. Your family photos are beautiful! The quote you chose for your Blog reflects a acknowledges the belief that happiness comes to those who take risks and grab life by the metaphorical "horns"I have big respect for teachers who come back to school to update their skills! Looking forward to working with you this semester!

  4. There are lyrics to a song that your video and title immediately brought to mind, "When the whole world fits inside of your arms." Your video illustrates exactly what your world encompasses.
    By the way, how'd you manage to get the shirt on the cat?!

  5. Your animoto was very tender and feminine. I think you love pink, your gals in your life (mom and daughter) are your best buds and you are constantly inspired by their influences on you and the joy they bring to your world. This was a very sweet presentation and I gleaned a lot though you used few words. Nicely done!

  6. Your Animoto is very sweet and it showed to me how precious your family is. Plus the connection to the generations in your family. I love your cat, btw!

  7. Shannon,
    I smiled at your family. I always find similarities between generations a fascinating thing. I hold the relationship of those in my family in very high priority in my life, so I appreciate the message of your animoto. And no worries on being technically savvy, I think you are going to do just fine this fall.

  10. Awh. Your little girl is precious. Kudos to you for continuing with your education with such a wee one. I too know first hand how difficult mothering coupled with school is. Thanks for sharing.
