particularly interested in

-
assignments/projects
Some other projects from the previous classes I thought would be fun include live tweeting or making memes
-
History of the Information Age
The layout of the course seems reasonable and appropriate, I also like how we have some input about the other assignments we will eventually do in this class.
-
social media
I am interested in learning more about the impact social media has made in terms of communicating global news, it seems like nowadays a good number of people consume their news through social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.
-
Cave paintings
I would be interesting in learning more about cave paintings, art, coffee houses and print culture as well as photography
-
Memes
I think this would also be an interesting assignment. there's a lot of free meme generators that allow you to take any image and make it meme and/or customize current memes, so it would be fun to see what events would be referenced/turned into memes.
-
Narrating your reactions to the reading, your experiences planning, researching, and implementing your projects as part of the class
I did this in my previous digital studies classes and it was really fun! It was a casual way of breaking down thought processes/recap what we learned that week
-
Tweets
I created weekly tweets for another class and it was a fun way to interact with others/break up the usual assignments for the class. The tweets had their own respective tag so it was easy to keep track of who tweeted what/look at their opinions
