Interview Gone Bad/ Good Interview

I think this was bad interview because the first three people were not prepared. They were answering with yes or no , or at times didnt know the answer. They were very unprofessional  by putting their feet on the desk , touching the interview personal belonings. The last person in the interview showed what you should actually do when being interviewed by someone. They had a resume that wasnt all folded up and let them know he keeps on all the latest technology to better himself and getting a position.

Someone to Watch over Me

I chose this reading this week because it connected with me the most compared to the other one. I feel as though I connected with this author because I do the exact same routine every morning. I feel as though as soon as I wake up I have to see what was going on while I was sleeping. I start off with texts if I have them at the time and move over to Twitter and Instagram , and lastly Facebook. I feel as if I was ever disconnected from any of these social networks I would not be able to function at all and feel that I do not know anything. I feel like when the author said " just imagine if we could be this good in person. Online, everyone has bulletproof social armor"; it is true a lot of people do not have such good social skills so they use online as their form of communication. Others think because its virtual that they cant be touched after saying certain things on social networks which is also not true. An example of this would be the show "CatFish" , many people try to mold themselves and say things that they normally would have trouble saying in person. Most people use social networks as a way to communicate with friends and family who might not live close enough to hang out on the weekends.

It Takes a Tribe

I chose to do my blog on the reading " It Takes a Tribe".  I thought it was one of the interesting readings because it was based on college campus. I feel i connected with this piece the most because when first coming to college I did not know where or what anything was called when others talked to me. As the semester went on I had gotten so used to talking about different places on campus with nicknames that people at home would get so confused as to what I was talking about. I had to further explain to them what each nickname meant and where it was. I have gotten so used to Bridgewater I barely know anything at home anymore where if someone asked me here I would answer so quickly , this reading explain to me that bridgewater is my tribe that I have now joined and left my old tribe which I consider my hometown New Bedford.

My Collage : Project 1

For the digital collage I am incorporating my job as a daycare teacher and my family and friends. I wanted to blend these three together because they define me as a person. It also is one of the main goals of being a teacher you have to communicate with families and help the children to become friends with one another. I will use pictures of me and my friends and family. I will also use the logos from the daycares I work at and use audio for the ABCs song.

Alter Egos: Avatars and Their Creators

I thought the reading was very interesting. I thought they altered the avatars to someone they want to be in real life. The people who altered themselves in this virtual world have very good explantions for why they did such a thing. I think the people who use this virtual world try to get out of real world situations by logging into these games. I have use a virtual game making up fake people to get away from the world as a stress reliever.
