This week our lecture was online.  Not really my favourite form of taking a lecture but I understand reasons behind it.  I just know that I’ll get distracted by other work that needs to be done if I don’t have my lectures scheduled in.  Poor planning Bronte.  Anyway, I’ve finally watched the lecture and we are exploring texts.  I’ve always thought of text as a simple thing.  What I’m doing right now.  Typing or writing.  Creating words and using letters.  But text is so much more than that.  Text can be art works, media, or even any type of story telling form.  So even my music is classified as a text.  We are taking the boundaries of what I’ve grown up to think is the ‘norm’ and learning what it means in terms of networked media.  I’m not 100% sure about HTTP, HTML, HTML5 and all the likes but I’m definitely determined to get my knowledge up to date.

Once again, another short blog post.  I’m hoping that my workshop tomorrow will clear some things up and we can have a discussion about the internet terms.  I do love coming to class to actually discuss and learn through active communication.
