Rip.Mix.FeedWhat motivated you to explore the application you used?
I explored a few applications and remembered that I had purchased a Glogster account for my students this year. What I love about Glogster is that you can create an interactive multimedia poster combining photos, videos and text. I thought that since I am at the end of my MET journey, I wanted to capture the best of the work I have done, either independently or collaboratively with my peers. The projects I have done have included websites, videos, papers, and online presentations. Glogster allowed me to include all of these formats in one presentation tool. I already embedded my poster on my own personal website and can view it on both my mobile device and desktop. All my pictures were taken from Flickr as I didn’t have to look further than this creative commons site to search for what I was looking for. What have you attempted to achieve in your project? I was drawn to Kress’ (2005) summary comparing design of pages/screens and I wanted to design a page that included multiple entry points dominated by the image. 1929 (publication year of The Boy Electrician) and 1992 (publication year of IoE Prospectus) 1929 • Given order, order designed by author. • Page and book with single entry point. • Knowledge produced by author on behalf of the audience. • Author knows the life-world of audience and its requirements. • Reading path fixed (though “naturalized” and hence invisible). • Author fixes reader’s “point of departure”. • Writing dominates the organization of the page. • Writing is the dominant mode for the presentation of material (image as illustration). • Use of mode governed by long-established convention: canonical use of modes. 2004 • Open order, order designed by reader. • “Page” site with multiple entry points. • Knowledge produced by visitor/reader in accord with the needs of their life-world. • Page and/or message designers imagine the assumed characteristic of the life-world of their audience. • Reading path designed by reader and/or visitor. • Reader designs/selects her/his point of departure. • Image dominates the organization of the “page”. • Image and writing potentially co-equal for the presentation of material. • Use of mode governed by “aptness”, insecurity about or absence of canonical modes. What are the particular affordances of the form of production you’ve selected in relation to previous forms of production we’ve considered in this course?
What are the potential drawbacks?
