Anticipation of Digital Modules

Well the term is coming close to an end. We are getting ready to being our Digital Modules that will be work on in Cybergroups (CG). I am excited about this prospect as my only experience in using Moodle came in course work for ETEC 565. I feel like I have gained a lot of knowledge on design, constructivism, and connectivism since then. I look forward to working with my group and benefiting from their experiences.

We have been discussing a wide range of topics thus far in the course. A few areas that have really struck my interests are:

  • Authorship, Copyright, and Intellectual Property (You can see my Media Production Video on this topic on my October 31, 2012 posting.)
  • “Living with the Virtual”
  • and Technology, Religion, and Spirituality (which has sparked some great discussions in the Vista forums).

Am I an artist?

Well so far we have been engaging in a wide variety of topics that I know little about.  I was not familiar with the history and confrontations that have taken place between art and technology.  Looking into the definitions of Media and cultural studies and reflecting how media impacts culture has been a great experience so far.

We were asked last week to begin creating a media piece that would have us reflect on if we considered ourselves to be artists or not.  Here is my first attempt at answering this question.
