Welcome to my portfolio! 

21st Century Media Literacy 

(Honors Seminar II)

My Hnrs 2091 portfolio represents and includes all of the projects I have produced and some discussion questions I posed.  In this Honors Seminar course,  we discussed important topics related to media by introducing out own thoughts and opinions. 

To better explore 21st Media, I developed various projects throughout the course, such as Who Said it Best, Cultural Artifact, Media Commentary, and Mediated Minds. My favorite project was a podcast I created to analyze a specific instance of media. I chose the media format of educational content that is entertaining, also known as edutainment. I specifically focused on content found on YouTube, where I explored the format through an honest and critical lens. As a final project, with my findings from this specific project, I developed an individual-oral presentation which I gave at UCBA's Mediated Minds. Due to the nature of a seminar course, we developed weekly discussion questions where we posed questions regarding a particular information piece related to the weekly media topic. Then, in class we asked our questions and engaged in discussions about these various topics. I feel as though I’ve gained a wider perspective of modern media and through that grown a connection with my fellow classmates through our discussions. I am glad I was able to participate in this course.
