I went into this choice to work with Garage Band because I already have a lot of experience with the software music-wise. I enjoyed clipping and editing audio that I had recorded live because I had never done this before, I usually used the synthesized instruments the program offers. I also enjoyed searching for loyalty-free music around the internet that would match the vibe of my podcast. While I do have experience with the software, I loved creating and recording the rough script that I planned out, it was satisfying in a way to see it go from start to finish.

“They can engage with that original purpose of the Web – sharing information and collaborating on knowledge-building endeavors – by doing meaningful work online, in the public, with other scholars. That they have a space of their own online, along with the support and the tools to think about what that can look like.”
I really enjoyed how this article because it highlights the importance of student work online in the future. It shows the meaning and reasoning behind emphasizing online organization for students to store their work. Websites and portfolios are basically information vaults that students can personalize as much as they want, and customize even more. Student blogs, archives, and domains are a very effective way to store information, and represent a story or show the narrative of students’ college experiences in many ways. Personally, this domain could be a start for a portfolio to show my works and creative process. Education-wise, “A Domain of One’s Own” opens many doors for student information personalization, and can allow professors to truly understand their students. My question would be: How dependent are these domains on the internet and if the internet didn’t exist would this idea be thought of?
