209 Journal
So far, everything in this class challenges the status quo of what is considered a college course. The real question is, will I be able to challenge the status quo aswell and keep up with the emphasis on creative thinking present in 209? #hwa1 #burningquestion

True, we post the hyperlink to the specific media that we are submitting #hwa1 #wherestuffgoes

I have like 3 GPT accounts, each for different use cases (School, personal, work, etc). Is there a preference for which I should use to capture the most authentic responses when I paste the interview prompts? #hwa1

FALSE, you CANNOT post late to Bluesky. The course relies on timely participation to keep the discussion relevant. #hwa1 #areyoupayingattention

The Bluesky workflow of live-posting as we interact with aspects of this course is very clear to me. The confusing part is what is considered interacting with the course? #hwa1 #workflowcheck

Wait, so are we encouraged to post about random moments from our lives if it relates to the course? As long as it does not fall under "off-topic chatter," it is okay and counts towards the 400 posts? Such as a post about a random piece of media that reminded me of a reading from this course? #hwa1

Currently, I am very excited and am looking forward to learning how to use GPT in a creative way. #hwa1 #vibecheck

The third voice is the shift in our final project, where a new perspective is revealed, representing the combination of the entire semester's work. It begins speaking 3 minutes into the final video. #hwa1 #thethirdvoice

I am really excited for SME 2. I am a big fan of audio distortion effects in media, where they use them to build on a character's personality. For example, showing a character is evil w/o explicitly stating it. I am excited to see how distortion can be used in a creative way. #hwa1 #smefeelings

So far, I like how each assignment builds on the previous ones, requiring the previous SME's completion before continuing. Additionally, I like how each SME will build towards the final project, which decreases the pressure towards the end of the semester. #hwa1

GPT is compared to a Jester because of its ability to share the truth in a hallucinated way that hurts our own perception of the idea that we are composing. However, in a way, this can be useful to bring a new perspective to the way we think. #hwa1 #jester

This class isn't a traditional writing course because, rather than composing long, revised papers, we are encouraged to share our immediate, unfiltered, and raw thoughts in 300 characters or less. #hwa1 #nontraditional

This class happens on Bluesky because the platform encourages live-posting, which cannot be done on Canvas. Live-posting allows us to interact with the course material in real time, which breeds all sorts of creativity. #hwa1 #XnotCanvas

This course apparently isn't a writing course. I was expecting some sort of essay-based grading structure; however, I am pleasantly surprised that the focus is being placed on the "creative" aspect. This allows us to focus on thinking freely rather than thinking for a grade. #hwa1 #notthatclass

I could not agree more that X/Twitter/Bluesky is a deeply personal media platform. I feel like my generation was too young to experience the early days of Twitter, where people would post random moments from their days or any thoughts they had lingering in their heads. Looking forward to it! #hwa1

LOL, I put the entire syllabus in my calendar before making my Bluesky account #hwa1

I have been using twitter/X since before the Elon acquisition, and it is safe to say the platform has been going downhill since. I've heard of Bluesky before, but I never gave it a try. Excited to see the potential of a new platform. #blueskyfeelings

Lately I feel shaped by becoming the best version of myself and living with no regrets #hello209

If my personality were a device, it would be a microphone. I would consider myself very good at listening and understanding others, but not vocal about it. #hello209
