Here is my map of the internet (tech task #2). While making this video, I realized that my definition of “resident” vs. “visitor” on certain websites/communities online is mainly based on whether or not I contribute to the community. I view myself as a “resident” of communities that I personally contribute to and have a presence on, and a “visitor” on websites that I use only for others’ posted content. I’m still not very comfortable with recording my voice, but I figure that the more I do it, the more comfortable I’ll get 🙂

It’s nice seeing someone do something a bit different! What did you use to make this video?
I just used iMovie actually! Since I struggled with using iMovie to make my introduction video, I figured I should keep working at it so that I am more comfortable using it in the future!
I agree, I am someone who is not very comfortable on the web so I find myself online a lot, but I never contribute my own thoughts or ideas on those media or technology outlets. I am finding that through this class, I am forcing myself to take on more of a residents role. Are you finding you are making similar progress?
Oh definitely! I was actually super afraid to post on our class Google Community for the first time, but now that I’ve gotten over that fear I’ve realized it is a super helpful community because we can all help each other out. In addition, I’m starting to get way more comfortable with blog posts, and even posted my first personal blog post (that did not relate to this class). Next challenge: becoming more of a resident to the Twitter community!
