Pathos: we all know how frustrating it is when our connection's unstable, and as we're using Zoom for a lot of our classes, this feeling is universal

Kairos: Mac is fed up with this portrait of George Washington -- just like how I'm fed up with my terrible WiFi connection]]> 2020-09-28 15:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/784753630 Layla Joseph https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/784784072 Ethos- I have been a college student who has classes all online

Pathos- Online school can be nerve racking when you are presenting and your wifi goes out, you can't get a stable connection, you miss over assignments. You get little to no interaction with your peers and that is something new for a lot of us, especially when we are in a "school setting."

Material Aspects- The look on Woody's face is full of fear and worry, while buzz is cool, calm, and collected. Students are woody, nervous and stressed, the university is trying to make the students look at the bright side so that they will still come to school.

Ethos: I've tried to keep myself from being a distraction by keeping all audio silent when not needed.
Pathos: Its relatable because some see mute as a safety net from socializing.]]> 2020-09-28 15:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/784804366 Katie Merillat (Marisa T., Kylie J.) https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/784805051 Material Aspects: Using a well known meme to relate to the concept of conversing in Zoom.

Ethos: By taking those vitamins all those years ago we have a better chance at "fighting" the virus

Ethos: You need to protect yourself and others at all times not just when it's convenient.
Pathos: You are effecting not only the people you come in contact with, but the people they come in contact with as well.]]> 2020-09-28 15:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/784818366 Zach Cienek, Melina Perozzi & Rhiannon Rearick https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/784820861 Pathos: As much as Zoom is useful for distant education. It is not the best of tools to be using every day. If your internet has even one little hiccup, then every Zoom meeting results in frequent freezing and delayed speech delivery.

Rhetoric: The rhyming of the words Boom and Zoom. Language is set up to get a laugh out of the viewers by using a simple rhyming scheme. The language is also used to express a student's fatigue with having to use Zoom every day of the week.

Ethos: This is obviously a daily occurrence for said student as well as many students. The students’ familiarity with this common technological issue is the meme itself. Students are more involved in Zoom now more than ever.

Pathos: Professors are temporarily confused/puzzled
Material aspect: Grandma looking puzzled at the computer

Kairos: Most students are engaging in a form of online learning, and family members are likely to walk into the room at any time]]> 2020-09-28 15:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/784875006 Seamus Murphy https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/785435140 Pathos: We have to be more conscious about our decisions in our current worldwide predicament. So even if students are tempted to go out they should stick to social distancing.
Kairos: The man walking is distracted by the woman who walked by and his girlfriend is looking at his puzzled as to why he would look bak at the other girl.
Rhetorical analysis: Students can get bored with the new restrictions and guidelines tempting them to go out to parties and forget about social distancing. ]]> 2020-09-28 18:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/785435140 https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/785812618 2020-09-28 20:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/785812618 Jacki Majcher https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/789399953 Pathos: a lot of student are concerned that they're missing important information with classes all online, due to a lack of face-to-face interaction with teachers
Kairos: with many-to-most classes being online, many more students are facing this anxiety and uncertainty this semester than they would during a usual semester.
Rhetorical analysis: This is just another aspect of how virtual education is testing our learning abilities and adding new stressors into students' lives]]> 2020-09-29 19:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/789399953 Walker Branch https://padlet.com/timothy_oldakow/kye6p9sr5j9i4iv1/wish/789707418 Material Aspect: Using a well know meme to relate to audience.
