Last week I set a personal criteria to follow for my own participation in the class. These included, turning up to class, doing the readings, making notes, and asking questions. (note: I will upload the picture of these next post)
So far, I feel like I am following the criteria pretty well. While a lot of the criteria may seem basic, it is often a challenge for me. Turning up to this class means getting up at 5:30am, which is hard enough to stay motivated for. But I have managed that so far.
I have also managed to get through and make notes of the readings. The readings themselves were very dense and hard to get through, but I managed to dissect a few points and learnt a bit. This learning was not just knowledge in a sense, it was just noticing that my thinking was very different to how Rushkoff, the media theorist, thought.
To participate more, I need to formulate a few questions. But this will require going over my notes and consolidating some thoughts.
So far, all is going well. I feel a bit more in tune with media and creating.
