Studio Tour for Josette Staples

I finally got signed into the Daybook. So I toured Kassandra Reinke,
Kelly Ryan and then I skipped Kevin Kimlinger (because he has a bit of writers block but I was so looking forward to reading his posts once I read his project proposal) and so I toured Kevin McColley. This projects were very interesting and informational to read. It was a fun assignment.

Studio Tour for Joe Moubry

Here is the link for my studio tours: http://erhetoric.org/WeblogsAndWikis/wikka.php?wakka=StudioToursJoeVitoMoubry.

I reviewed Josette StaplesKasandra Reinke, and Kelly Ryan‘s projects and blogs.  I tried to keep my Studio Tour reaction “short” since I like getting right to the point.  I basically tried to cover what each of these lovely ladies are doing their projects on and how I think they could add to them.

Studio Tour – Erika Wheelhouse

I just finished up my studio tour.  Sorry Ivory, but I couldn’t find much to go off of to tour yours so I skipped to Josette’s.  You can click here to go to my wiki page for my studio tour on my wiki page.  This was a fun assignment forcing us to check out everyone’s projects! I look forward to seeing how everything finishes up for everyone!

 

reminder: weblogs meets face to face today

It’s been nearly a month, so we’ll get together to say hello, compare notes, commiserate, and look at the all-important studio tour.

Oh, and did I mention that ENGL 4709/5709 Digital Humanities for Fall, 2012, meets Tuesday, 4:00 – 6:40?

Weblogs assignment for 25 Mar: Blogs as Narratives

Now that everyone’s had a chance to get started on their projects, I’ve posted an assignment on the wiki: Weblogs as Narratives. The exercise asks you to find a blog that you can read as a narrative, and do so. Full details at the wiki.

Have fun with this. You can find some very curious narratives out there.

Due Sunday, 25 March, midnightish. Prof Morgan will highlight some of the interesting observations, connections, and disjuncts and post them here.

back from break

We’re back from break, and it’s raining, and projects should be proceeding apace. That’s three bitter-sweet observations in a row.

I think all the proposals are in (If you haven’t heard from me with an approval, email mmorgan@bemidjistate.edu), and so everyone will be working diligently to get ahead of their schedule. Some already have.

Kevin McColley is observing how writers are using social media, with an aim towards looking at effectiveness. That takes some data and getting organized, both on the wiki and on his blog: Data, March 11.

Erick is blogging about music genres. Looks like Country this week. Ericka’s well into the project already, with her post about Alan Jackson being the latest.

Kevin Kimlinger is repurposing his senior thesis narrative via social media. Tricky, this one. He is setting up twitter accounts for the characters, and coordinating it on his blog. Still waiting for the story to start. Pins and needles.

And Amanda Pearson has made her first movie review from the 1920s right here. Commentary with links to YouTube extracts. Nice for a rainy morning.

Be sure to keep at the project, assigning time to it each day. I’ll be posting some readings and exercises to keep our class-level discussion going, so watch this space on Friday.
