The Touch

 Integrated Hardware A  hardware - integrated  solution, simply put, means a mobile system that is combined with outlying  hardware  in order to connect the two through an app, or other technology system. The goal of  hardware integration  is to use mobile devices to replace other, traditional forms of controlling  hardware.  I can somewhat relate to this because at the beginning of this course, i was not able to create blogs from my laptop so i had to start creating blogs on my phone and i wasn't fully giving the tools that i needed while working on my cellular device. But now that i am able to access my blogs through my laptop, all my data and information from my phone is now on the laptop and i decided to go back and edit my blogs a little since i was not able to do so before. It has become easier to work on my laptop and i continue publishing blogs. Also, s oftware  is stored in the  hardware  as magnetic domains on th...

 Integrated Software  Integrated software  is a collection of  software  designed to work similar  programs . A good example of  integrated software  package is Microsoft Office, which contains  programs  used in an office environment. Later on in my blogs, i will create a power point containing a full summary of my blogs and all i worked on during the school year.  Software integration  is the process of bringing together various types of  software  sub-systems so that they create a unified single system. Almost the same as taking a lot of information form different sources to convert it into one story. The best thing about it is that all your information if saved for when yo want t come back and edit or make changes.  An  integrated software  system ensures that customers are able to access their data anywhere.

 Integrated Technologies  Technology integration is the use of technology tools in general content areas in education in order to allow students to apply computer and technology skills to learning and problem-solving. Generally speaking, the curriculum drives the use of technology and not vice versa. I have a few computer skills that i  acquired a while back. That made it a little easier to learn about creating blogs and putting magazines together. In creating blogs and magazines, i used sites such as blogger.com and canva.com which were both provided by my teacher. Due to what i was taught prier to this class about technology, i feel i do my work differently from my classmates but still ending up with the same results. Overall, with technology, making blogs and magazines are easier now, especially now that I've learned how to construct them.

 What I've learned...      At the beginning of this course, i had no knowledge of how to create blog post, put together a magazine, or even interview people. I later found it that it's not as easy as i thought. Throughout the course i slowly gained a better understanding of how things work in the media. How blogs are published, putting together a magazine, analyzing a film, using misc-en-scene, and more.       Mise-en-scene is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme, and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction.      I also learned that camera angles and shots play a big role in films and even in pictures.  Camera Angles Eye level – camera points straight ahead. Intention is to be objective. Low angle – camera points up from a lower angle.  High angle –...

 Audiences  Sports connect many of us. We wear the same hats, shirts, and of course, connect digitally to our favorite teams and players. And while audiences continue to be broken up with the addition of more and more digital channels, this also allows sports teams around the globe to reach their die hard fans, as well as the casual ones, in new ways.  The mix between hosting, participating, and optimizing the experience around the conversation can be sometimes difficult. On one hand, go to where the fans are. If they are on Twitter, engage with them there. If they are on Facebook, go there, and who knows what new social channel will pop up next.  Engagement of a  sport fan  is usually seen through following their favorite team by attending games, watching them on TV, purchasing team products, reading about it in newspapers or just talking about it with others.  If the  audience  is leaning forward in  their  chairs or sitting with ...

 Reflection: Conventions Sports  includes all forms of  competitive  physical activity  or  games  which,  through casual or organized participation, at least in part aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases,  entertainment  for spectators.  Sports can bring positive results to one's physical health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in  teams  or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as  racing , many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the contest   is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a tie or draw, in which there is no single winner; others provide  tie-breaking methods  to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of c...

 Reflection: Social groups A  social group  consists of two or more people who regularly interact on the basis of mutual expectations and who share a common identity. It is easy to see from this definition that we all belong to many types of social groups: our families, our different friendship groups, the sociology class and other courses we attend, our workplaces, the clubs and organizations to which we belong, and so forth. Except in rare cases, it is difficult to imagine any of us living totally alone. Even people who live by themselves still interact with family members, coworkers, and friends and to this extent still have several group memberships. Sports have a huge fan base and large amounts of social groups. These social groups consist of dedicated fans who go all out for teams that they represent. These social groups dress up in costumes and put on face paint to come to games and represent their team. Sport fans usually consist of adults ranging from ages 16 to ...
