Blogging 101

This course was very enjoyable for me, I was able to grow as a writer and blogger. My most enjoyable project was the Linkedin assignment due to the fact that jobs actually emailed me after seeing my page that I updated.

My blog followers were also able to keep up with me via twitter to see what my daily rants were about. Tweets by @whatKRISSYwants

I also enjoyed the green screen project because I was able to use my favorite thing, green screen magic. Myself along with Jordan and Laron decided to take a time warp back to the 90's to star on the hit show It's a Different World!

This course has pushed me creatively when it was time to create my Vine, 6 seconds isn't a lot of time so you have to be very clever in what you decide to do.

Kizao is a movie maker meshed together with power point features. It's good for interactive fun presentations such as the Bulldog Scavenger Hunt.

Lastly  Prezi.  It's a major step up from power point presentations. It forces the user to be more visual, which I enjoy. However actually using it is a bit tough when its time to create your pathways. After a while I became a little frustrated but I still created my top 10 Beyonce' music videos.  

   

I also had the freedom to say what I wanted to on certain topics. I definitely plan to blog in the future, its a good way to clear your mind and document events that are worth sharing! I hope everyone takes advantage of this class and the possible opportunities.

For my top 10 presentations I decided to do the top 10 Beyonce' video's! I edited this project on Prezi! I hope you enjoy it!

We were given the task to roam the campus taking pictures of our beloved mascot. The BULLDOG!!! After collecting over 20 pictures the next object was to put them in the Kizoa movie maker! I hope you enjoy my Bulldog Scavenger hunt!

IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD!

Our latest class assignment required us to use green screen! Personally I was excited because I know how fascinating green screens actually are. I chose to do A Different World for my green screen project because it's a show that I love and it inspired me to attend an HBCU. Above is my final project featuring two of my amazing classmates! 

Six Seconds of Fame!

This week we dabbled in Vine, an app that allows you to make 6 second videos! I hope you enjoy mine!

Hilary Clinton Visits South Carolina State University

On February 26, 2016 Hilary Clinton visited the campus of South Carolina State University to persuade students to cast their vote for her on Saturday February 27. The “Breaking Down Barriers” rally was held at 3:45pm in Dukes Gymnasium. Doors opened at 3:15pm and the Orangeburg community quickly filled the gym.

Hilary Clinton had familiar faces such as Starr Jones, Karen Civil, K. Michelle and Congressman Jim Clyburn speak on her policies and her as an individual before she entered the stage. “44 boys is enough, it’s time for madam president” said Starr Jones. As Congressman Jim Clyburn gave his speech he reminded the audience of what she has done for the United States without having the role as President “No one has run for president with such an extensive résumé.”

Majority of students entered the rally undecided, however after hearing her policies some decision were made that very moment. “Personally I felt like she did a wonderful job getting her point across, it didn’t feel like it was rehearsed it was very personal. I came here undecided but now I’m leaning more toward Hilary. She made great talking points that I can relate to especially health care and trying to get out of school without debt.” London Knight Senior.              (Congressmen Jim Clyburn) 

                                                                                  The Breaking Down Barriers Rally had a very good turn out, students were star struck when given the opportunity to get selfies with Hilary Clinton and K Michelle. Hilary Clinton is now preparing for her campaign trail for Super Tuesday.

What is Pinterest?

"Pinterest is a social network that allows users to visually share, and discover new interests by posting (known as 'pinning' on Pinterest) images or videos to their own or others' boards (i.e. a collection of 'pins,' usually with a common theme) and browsing what other users have pinned" -infront.com 

Pinterest has more than 12 million users in the United States. It is now the third most visited websites. The most popular category on Pinterest is the "food and drink" with 11.9 percent of pins, followed by "DIY" (Do It Yourself) and crafts’ 9.2 percent and "home décor" 5.9 percent. 

How do business benefit from Pinterest? 

• 25% of Fortune Global 100 companies have Pinterest accounts.
• Pinterest pins with prices get 36% more likes than those without.
• 43% of Pinterest members agree that they use Pinterest to “associate with retailers or brands with which I identify”, compared to just 24% of Facebook users who agree to the same use with Facebook.
• The survey, which interviewed 7,431 online buyers from August 9 to 17 2012, also found that significantly more online consumers agree that Pinterest is a place to “get inspiration on what to buy” and “help keep track of or collect things I like.”
