Goodling got me thinking about activism - I'd like more information though

I have been delighted by many of our in-class discussions. I think we have found a way to extrapolate from individual articles and talk about connections across them. I often felt 'wonder' in our lectures and discussions.

Metaphors: I think all the use of metaphors really helped my understanding and aging memory. I'm enjoying using metaphors to think through my own research now as well!

Johnson-Eilola's "Polymorphous Perversity and Texts" lacks in significance and clear meaning for us rhetoricians / teachers

All of the connections we made in class to pop culture, current issues, between different texts, to other projects. Everything felt so connected and significant.

My soapbox for the semester, probably, one of them anyway: usability problems. Because of my own background I am so invested in usability and in digital preservation (specifically making sure that some fancy format will keep working) and over and over, I found people were talking the talk and their work wasn't walking the walk. Or that maybe they had been, but now who uses Shockwave (or whatever)?

Delighted may not be the right word, but I was really excited to imagine the different audiences possible within digital media -- these texts aren't housed in academic journals or library collections, and so they have these kind of nebulous, untested, serendipitous audience possibilities. Who knows who will find this thing, and how it will circulate...? I think this possibility is an exciting way to think of writing things that maybe don't fit into a discrete and predetermined genre

When we got so caught up on form in discussion that we didn't talk about content. :( Not that I didn't like these discussions on form, but I always value a deep discussion of text.

Walton was also interesting to read about technology in other places

The "community of [digital, networked] writers" has moved me to realize the value -- and I would say the wonder -- of meaning-building, rhetoric, image, sound, and emotion in this space.

Delagrange's work on digital rhetoric and embodiment moved me to start my final project for this class. Especially when she wrote: "Access to new media is about having the tools, both technical and personal, to participate. Inaccessible media would not only include a website that a blind person could not see and that had no other accommodating entry point, but also a site that had no 'way in,' psychologically or culturally, for the user. "

Lebduska, "Emoji, Emoji..."

The reason why this article delighted me was that I FINALLY REALIZED, reading this, that maybe digital media doesn't spell the end of literacy. I know this sounds dumb, but I was delighted that I was reading the work of someone who had truly opened my eyes to something "hidden in plain sight. -Evelyn :)

I learned a lot from working on the 500 words assignments. I always ask my students to write 500 word essays, but rarely have I been asked to confine my own writing into this brief space. These assignments helped me to work to not merely summarize the works we read, but to focus on one particular aspect and start to generate my own mini-arguments. I also really enjoyed experimenting with various multimodal software to create these projects. I feel my multimodal composition muscles were flexed, making me more comfortable composing in the clouds.

Pitman and VanKooten's articles moved me because I felt like they embraced the form wholly without offering excuses for it. They were able to move through the form in a purposeful way that really engaged me in their content.

DeVoss was interesting because it made me think of women and technologies - which I hadn't thought of before. I'd say it was a good starting point for that

500 words format

I was moved in my thinking over the course of the semester, a process that was very much facilitated by the 500 words assignment. As I got more comfortable with the format, I grew in my creative confidence and surety in my arguments. This honestly moved me to reconsider blogging. Maybe I can do it!

Eyman
While I felt like, in the end, there were things I wanted him to explore or places I wanted him to go that he didn't, this was eye-opening in terms of giving me a foundation in (digital) rhetoric I didn't have. It was a good place, for me, to start, and to learn.

One of my favorite pieces from this semester was Delegrange's. Why? Because I think it provided the wonder that the wunderkammer embodied. Particularly in the first part of this piece, I really appreciated the way Delegrange situated the complexity and nuance of the utopia and dystopia of digital, networked communication

VanKooten - Singer, Writer

I actually didn't love the video and found the article overall sort of "meh" but ... BUT ... then she talked about her invention process at the end of her text and it was what gave me a lightbulb moment in the class, and ultimately was the tiny nugget that inspired my final project.

I second Nikki: Like Me, Like Me Not was one of my most frustrating readings because I didn't see the point behind the structure used.

Delagrange, Technologies of Wonder: This text really opened up a world of possibilities for me because of its content, as opposed to form, though it inspired form as well. I also feel that I understood the class itself in a whole new way after this text. A whole new wondrous way.

"Like Me, Like Me Not" ... I'm sorry Nikki :(

This piece agitated me on a few levels. I found the style off-putting, and I thought the analogies were inappropriate (e.g., ignoring a post as gaslighting) -Evelyn

I appreciated the discussion Eyman had in Chapter 4 - especially the pedagogical potential of digital rhetoric in the undergraduate writing classroom AND the room for case study work in this area.

Eyman, Digital Rhetoric

This was my first foray into digital rhetoric and composition. It taught me that there was a serious, substantial body of scholarship out there devoted to these issues.

The wunderkammer that we've discovered or that are possible in digital writing - so, I'm thinking of DeLagrange for the ways she incorporated pictures and videos in her writing (although I couldn't open many of them :(
