Christina Truong’s videos on LinkedIn Learning teach us lessons on how to create an .html file. For someone who is unaware of what markup is, this would probably be extremely confusing. Truong makes it easy to understand for those who do know and want to learn more about HTML. Last week’s videos and this week’s…

The past week has seen me tasked with exploring HTML from the ground level. While there is far more to learn in utilizing HTML, I think that I was able to grasp it decently well. Naturally, writing in HTML really alters the typical workflow in my writing. I have begun some projects that involve recomposing…

Liam Justiniano I found Monica Chin’s article “File Not Found” extremely interesting! This is not something that I was aware was a “problem”. I use GoogleDrive for basically everything file based, because I had chromebooks in my middle school and that was the easiest application for us to use and it’s what I learned. I…

For years in both elementary and middle school every student spent a few hours every week in a computer lab. We learned how to use Gmail, how to type, and the importance of the “Save As” tab in MS Word. But why after all this is there still a barrier to understanding computer basics? How…

I’ve been on a journey of finding pieces of my old writing recently. Only to discover…none of my files made any sense. Every file from my freshman year of college had little to no reference to the class or assignment. Without a thorough investigation, the context in which it was written would have been lost…

Hello! I live! This post is going to be more casual. For the first half, I would like to focus on what stood out to me in the intro through chapter 3 of verified. I really enjoyed the subtle focus on “instant gratification.” The internet is created so we, the consumers, are able to get…

Week 6 The online world and its many websites, forums, communities, servers, and so on, has been marketed as one of the greatest places to create and share work with an audience. And online/digital tools are undeniably helpful in some of the tools and posting abilities it gives us. But when’s the last time you…

Karl Stolley’s The Lo-Fi Manifesto presents us with an interesting thought process regarding reliance on software solutions in writing or digital creation. According to Stolley, creators are simply trading knowledge for ease of action. “Yet far too many of them, and their students, surrender writing and its demand for sophisticated production knowledge to any interface…

File Not Found by Monica was a very interesting read for me. The overall idea that the students of my generation can study very complicated and intricate concepts, such as astrophysics, but not know how to correctly organize their files is so fascinating. I’d like to think I keep all my files very organized, and I think I could be even more organized. However, after reading about…

Week 5 You, yes, you are in a media loop. I am too. We all are; until we make a conscious decision to step outside of the loop and gain perspective. And, yes, some are more entrenched into one side of the media than others, but modern day algorithms and data collection make it almost…
