September 23, 2010
Types of slideshows:
Text-driven
Picture-driven-collection of images with given theme, often no voice-
over
Story-driven-images with voice-over; a) journalistic b) anecdotal
(digital storytelling)
Type of screen structure (SS)-the concepts & design that hold viewer’s attention
during slide presentation
Narrative-storytelling; series of events/chronological
Documentary-reporting on what’s going on who, what, when, where, how?
Aesthetic/Art/Design-emphasis on form not content,; focus on design, shape, colors,
textures
In slideshow, image of certain design type may appear with others
Emotional- 2 kinds; 1) overt display of emotion in image 2) emotion evoked by
image
Copyright & Online Media
Abundant digital materials available online
Public domain vs copyrighted
Internet Archive-can look for relevant materials for subfield
Not violating copyright when video/audio URLs linked to syllabus or presentation
“four use” is legal defense; allows limited use
1. What is character of the use?

why
Final syllabus posted
Sociological inquiry
Main goal-to devise useful explanations
Explanation = theory (answers the question “why”)
A set of interrelated propositions that collectively attempt to explain events
Theory…a set of interrelated propositions (a stmt of relationship between 2 or more
concepts)
Concept? An abstract image or idea; what is this? Why?
Move up and down ladder of abstraction by becoming more inclusive or specific
Sociological concepts may be subject to different interpretations
23. A theory consists of concepts-linked in the form of propositions
Concepts employed in research: variables
Dependent variable- (effect) variable to be explained
Independent variable (cause) “explaining”
Operational concepts: research concepts are commonly “operationally defined”
That is, the concept is defined in terms of how it is measured in the study.

26. Course Journal
August 26, 2010
First day of class was great. It sounds like it’s going to be fun and I’m going to learn
some new technology! I am really excited! My professor seems really nice and down-
to-earth and understanding. I agree with his style of teaching, I believe technology
as a form of teaching will help students learn more and keep them interested. I don’t
like to be lectured or read to for an hour or so. When you can create and visually see
your assignments or tasks it helps to know you are doing what you should.
We have our first assignment…the Wordle. This assignment doesn’t seem hard at all
and actually sounds fun.
Wordle was fun and easy to use. I didn’t like the way you had to keep starting over
when you wanted to edit though. I think I will play with the software to create gifts.
Until next time
August 31, 2010
Some of class introduced themselves through their Wordles today, including me. I
got chocked up when I spoke in class, especially about the divorce. But, now I am
passed that and moving on. It was neat to learn about someone in, not only, words
but images. For next class, we are to make a photo mosaic. This should be fun!
The photo mosaic maker was also easy to use. I enjoyed this project. I would like to
do it again with music.
Until next time
September 2, 2010
Class introductions continued today with photo mosaics. It is interesting how much
someone will tell you through this project. I agree with what Professor Miller when he
said that people tend to say more personally through these types of introductions.
Its true about some of these students, you really would think some of the things
they said about themselves were true or at least hard to imagine.
We have a reading assignment for next class and that’s about it.
Until next time
September 7, 2010
Professor Miller highlighted more on why media is a good teaching tool and how
eventually universities and colleges will be more active in online information as
opposed to paper. We had class discussion about our opinions and experiences with
online courses we had taken. There are good and bad experiences. Professor Miller
also wants us to prepare to begin working on our sub-field media assignment. It
was another interesting day of class and looking forward to the next.
27. Until next time
September 9, 2010
Class is beginning to focus on the building of the multi-media files. Professor Miller
defined items and gave examples of what could be used in our work. Class was
interesting and again looking forward to another visit.
Until next time
September 14, 2010
Professor Miller asked us to review our syllabus for changes and additions and again
focused on subfield media files. He has several requests for work to be completed
and I hope I get everything done correctly. It’s starting to seem like a lot for me and
I hope I am able to manage my low technical knowledge with what is expected.
Until next time
September 21, 2010
Lots of information based on building the media files. This document seems like it’s
going to be huge! I hope I can keep up with all of this.
Until next time
September 23, 2010
We discussed the different classifications of the 15-20 images that are to be used for
our next assignment. I don’t know if I will be able to actually take all new images for
this assignment. I’m not much of a photographer, just the amateur momma taking
pictures of her kids. We’ll see what happens.
Until next time
September 28, 2010
Prezi looks like fun!!
Until next time
September 30, 2010
Prezi presentation was helpful and interesting; we received a hand out from out
presenter that will help with future work. I really enjoyed using this program I can
really see using this over and over in the future. I think this will be a really helpful
aid when I become a teacher. It’s really attention getting!
Until next time
28. October 5, 2010
This class was slow, seemed like a lot of definitions. I like the more media related
stuff
Until next time
October 12, 2010
Excited about our next guest speaker, this sounds like it’s going to be really
interesting…can’t wait!
Until next time
October 26, 2010
Learned about voice-over and learned you should always save image URLs. Need to
work on concept definition. Another good class!
Until next time
November 2, 2010
I’m excited to see if I can use a video converter and audacity to mix some music and
voice over for future projects. We reviewed an example of a digital story from
llanogrande.org. I’m still not sure if I’m going to pull off this digital story.
Until next time
November 4, 2010
Today we learned how to stream through power point. I’m not sure how I’m going to
use this in my project. But at least I have another option for integration. Good class!
Until next time
November 9, 2010
Today we talked about modifying our photostory by adding video. This sounds like it
will be easy to accomplish. We also talked about the cartoon we will be creating soon
on xtranormal. I’m really excited about the cartoon, I have been looking forward to
this assignment.
Until next time
December 2, 2010
Today we talked about our final project and uploading our multi-media file to
photoshare for submission. I can’t believe we are talking about our final project
already; the semester has flown by so fast.
29. I have really enjoyed this class and I’m so excited to continue learning with Professor
Miller in my independent study. I have learned so much and I’m excited to refine my
learning and polish my projects.

Operationalization: “Participants’ peer groups were identified by using a sociometric procedure developed by Coie et al. (1982). The participants were asked to nominate up to three classmates within
their classroom with whom they most liked to spend time and
three classmates with whom they least liked to spend time (positive and negative nominations).”

Operationalization: “Students who received parental permission to participate completed a series of questionnaires that were group administered in their classrooms during a 45-minute session. Students completed a
number of self-report and peer-report measures: Peer regard perceived popularity; classification of clique perceived popularity; clique identification; friend regard, within-clique social behavior, and social dominance;
classification of individual dominance rank within cliques.”
I have chosen to focus on bullying and youth and education because of the so many recent reports lately.

Mindgate Media Assignment
http://cnn.com/video/?/video/education/2010/11/23/sn.anti.bullying.cnn
Bullying has become quite an epidemic in our schools today; a frightening ingredient is the episode of suicide. The preceding video
highlights “some main points from the International Bullying Prevention Association’s recent conference.” The video not only gives
information about the most common form of bullying, but it also gives resources for parents, students, and teachers alike. The video
also gives ownership to students and gives them the power to take an active role in the prevention of bullying.
What can be asked about this video?
1. What other forms of bullying are there?
2. What may cause someone to bully?
3. Do you know someone who is being bullied or someone who is a bully?
4. What other educational resources are available about the subject of bullying?
5. What type of programs can be created and or implemented in your own school to aid in the prevention/cessation of
bullying?
6. Identify individuals who will be available to anyone who is being bullied, who has information about a bullying incident,
or who has any ideas about preventing bullying.
