As we come to the end of the semester and POSIEL, I find myself reflecting on the course and everything I have learned. Firstly, I want to say that I had a lot of fun, both in the class and doing my weekly public posts and assignments. This class was definitely the most enjoyable class…

I’m Not Built To Be A Keyboard Warrior
This week in Posiel, we discussed the idea of comment sections, and the different motivations people may have for commenting. This can range from being an expert on a topic and wanting to share your knowledge, to someone who thinks they know what’s going on and wants to help, but really has no clue, all…
The Last Twitter User Standing
This week in POSIEL, we examined the idea of bringing our blog content to other social media platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, and yes, even Twitter. And after some consideration, I decided that I will be utilizing Twitter, as a secondary platform for my content! Now I know what you’re probably thinking: why…

However, I’m finally finding myself in a posting groove, with little website work to be done. While of course there’s always room for improvements,…
Getting Comfy
This week in POSIEL, our mini assignment was to tell a story, with no text. Immediately, my mind went to making a “day-in-the-life” video. Personally, I love watching these sorts of simplistic videos that give a window into individuals’ lives, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to create my own. Additionally, I…
Hey! You’re in My Bubble
This week’s process post asks us to consider our audience, and how our imagined audience has impacted our content and design choices thus far. However, if I’m being completely honest, I haven’t given the idea of having an “audience” much thought at all. That’s not to say I don’t want people reading, enjoying, and engaging…
Mapping Online, Going Offline
