This Semester

My class BC 203 - 01 short for Electronic media production II also describe as a Digital Content Creation and Distribution course. This course was a great experience.  Writing was a key part of this course. BC 203-01 taught us how to create videos and image creation, editing, layout and design, and Web-based design. We set up blog post for each topic and wrote about what we learned doing various projects.



1. Twitter is the first social media outlet we learned about. Twitter is primarily used to display your thoughts about certain events and topics relevant to the mainstream media. In recent years twitter has grown in popularity and is being used as a platform to promote business and trending topics especially to celebrities.

2. The second social media outlet we learned about is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a social media platform that allows people to network with professionals, to establish relationships that translate into job opportunities. LinkedIn allows users to post their education, experience and skills to ensure that employers know enough about them to see if they are qualified for the job. On my LinkedIn i have about 30 friends who Im in contact with almost everyday.

3. The third social media outlet we learned about is Pinterest. The mission is to help people discover things they love. The site allows uses to express how people feel using photos, and is very good for advertising because companies have pinheads displaying their products. On my Pinterest I have 8 boards describing me as a person.

4.  The fourth social media outlet we leaned about is Prezi. Preszi is a presentation website. It can be used for Power Points. Instead of showing slides all time, Prezi allows you to zoom in and out each bubble. On my Prezi i did " Top 10 Athletes of all time.

5. The fifth social media outlet we learned about is the Green Screen. Green screen also known as " Chroma Key " is a visual effects / post-production technique for creating two images or video streams together based on color hues. On my Green screen I putt myself in the gym.

6. Last but not least the sixth social media outlet we learned about is Kizoa. Kizoa edits and creates slideshows that you can share online or download to your computer. i actually had fun doing this because we had to walk around our entire campus look for bulldog statures. it was a scavenger hunt.
