Hello everyone! In light of our class focusing on the world of participatory media, I decided to go the same route with my midterm paper. Helen wanted me to share it this week in light of our theme of multi-disciplinary and multi-media projects. In order to make it more interesting and engaging, I tried to illustrate the concepts I was discussing throughout my paper by integrating multimedia ways to participate and explore the themes along the way. This worked best by actually formatting my paper into a blog entry, and presenting it to Helen in this way, online. I pulled from various scientific articles to further illustrate how youth culture is shaping the participatory world of politics, education, health, and many of our digital tools.
I realize we all have a lot going on this week for Thanksgiving, so if you have some time at all to look through and experience my “Multimedia Midterm,” I would love to hear what you think. In conjunction with this week’s theme and the discussion throughout my paper, here are some questions I would ask:
- Would sharing an academic paper online make you think even more about how the content is presented and structured?
- Can integrating visual and interactive elements break up the monotony of research or essay based content, making it more readable for an audience?
- What about interactivity and participatory forms of media do you think will work for presenting information as journalists and communicators in the future?

This is really cool, Lauren. I think it is really neat that you used the blog as a format for your mid-term paper.
Hopefully you won’t stop the flow of such magical material! ταχυδακτυλουργός για παιδικά πάρτυ
