Forecast what your work will enable you to do
I have learned many new mediums for digital communication such as slack, recording podcasts, and coggle mindmaps
Critically evaluate and retrogressively analyses my digital and physical self to seek out areas for improvement.
Connect and engage digitally with a larger and more diverse society
Ideological changes
Digital users must be critical consumers, which requires education. Marketing tools and algorithms can take advantage of undereducated digital users.
Our digital life is more controlled, monitored, and more censored than in our physical world.
Who are included and excluded in our society, and why we must fix these inconsistancies.
Look at previous work with fresh eyes
Positive Obsession Project
Audio levels need further adjustment and equalization between segments and in relation to the backing track.
The podcast's beginning knew its end, and had a nice resolution. This can be incorporated into my future podcasts
There were many mic pops in my podcast, which should be addressed by standing back from the mic, or using a pop filter
Digital Response Project
My Digital Response paper was mostly informative, and lacked creativity.
Now that I have become more familiar with voice recording, my project could have been more audio/visual to parallel Tufecki's claims in her TedTalk
Audio Narrative
Medium for Narritive - Podcast overlaid with powerpoint
How a particular reading spurred conversations inside and outside the course.
The Book of Martha
Prompted discussion concerning what the most vital yet unmet needs are of those in the lowest living conditions
Spurred conversation with friends and family members
How a specific assignment made you rethink a long-held belief or common assumption.
The book of Martha and the various class responses as to the one change to save humanity brought perspective. Each human has their own ideals, comprised from their personal life experiences.
In addition to internal reflection, the Thoughtful Analysis podcast prompted conversation with peers on what should be constituted as the 'general public'
Something that affected you during class discussion or in conversations about the course.
I really enjoyed interacting with fellow classmates! This is my first semester at Penn LPS, and it was great to be in a friendly and sharp class!
Our DIGC-120 class is comprised of an extremely diverse group of individuals. It was great to interacting with, and learn from, a multitude of backgrounds, perspectives, ideations, and generations!
The ways your thinking/writing has changed throughout the semester.
I have become more informed and open minded with regard to our digital society
I learned of faults in our digital society that I had not previously considered
In addition to feeling more natural, my writing flow and style has improved
Design Thinking 👥
Define
Some needs that are not met for marginalized communities:
HealthCare
Education
Food/Water/Shelter
Opportunity
Equality
The needs of marginalized communities are not being met
Ideate
Lack of opportunity could be due to lack of education and connections
Food/Water/Shelter and HealthCare are monetary items. Many in these communities are not equipped for that financial burden
Education needs may not be met due to inaccessibility to quality insititutions
Prototype
Quality education can help equip individuals for higher level jobs and higher wages.
Education institutions provide many opportunities through networking with classmates, professors, and alumni.
Some form of accessible, quality Global Education
There is an inverse relationship between education and racism. By educating more indivudals we can create a more inclusive and equal society.
Empathise
While the Book of Martha addresses all humans, the primary focus is on marginalized communities. What are the most prevalent needs of that community?
When thinking about the one change I would make, the needs of this community must be met
