When it comes to multimedia, this isn’t my first rodeo. I have an active life on Facebook, Ravelry ( a knitting and crochet website), Pinterest, and a message board about poker. Occasionally, I tweet on Twitter, too, but not often. I have trouble keeping my posts under 40 characters. I suppose I should work on that.
I’ve worked with wikis and blogs for other classes and on top of all of that, I administrate the website at the elementary school where I work and sometimes help to produce our morning announcement broadcasts on closed circuit television. Oh, and I guess I shouldn’t leave out the school newsletter. I edit that too, occasionally producing content of my own for it.
My weak link in this jumbled up multimedia chain is blogging. I feel like I need to find something more interesting to offer to the outside world. On a message board, I generally respond to topics or questions that interest me. Sometimes I have a moment of inspiration and come up with inquiries of my own, but often my online conversations are hatched by someone else. This forced blogging my actually help me exercise my idea muscles. We’ll see. As for strengths, it’s been nice to not have to learn about the nuts and bolts of the technology we are working with. To show off my chops, I might try to do a little video for this blog. There are some fun websites that allow you to make a photo collage video to music. Maybe I’ll give that another go to spice this thing up.
