Week 5_Summer Hatfield

The Lunch Love Community is an amazing and inspiring project that ideally the entire country should embrace. I completely agree with the reasoning behind what they did in Berkeley, and I think the food we feed our children should be a top priority. I am a huge proponent of the old saying “You are what […]

The Lunch Love Community by far is my second favorite site we’ve seen in this class after the Interview Project. Though I don’t identify with children since I don’t have kids or young relatives who live here, I am still interested in this awesome project and what it gives to the community. The Concept and […]

Week 5 – Derek Yoshikane

After watching some videos on the Lunch Love Community project website, I was reassured that somebody really understood what teachers really need. As a teacher, I spend hours trying to find relevant content for my classes. I thought of some other recent developments designed to help people in education. Sites like YouTube have started an […]

Week 5: Lindsey Newkirk

In reviewing the week’s online assignment, Love Lunch Community what really stood out to me in its difference from many of the other digital media sites, is that it provides solicitous attention to the viewers in how they can become an engaged participant and how that participation can be utilized as an action for change.

In his post, Adam mentioned using the internet as a springboard rather than a place of isolation, and I think that’s a great way to summarize how LLC engages audiences. We have all been students at one time or another, and school lunches are hardly ever remembered as a glamorous affair, so the topic […]

Week 5–Allyson Woodard

I get so excited by moments when I realize that what I’m learning is both useful and applicable in life outside of school. In my experience these realizations usually hit after a course is over, and usually through the wisdom of hindsight. But, every once in a while it strikes while I’m actually taking the […]

Week 5: Mike Plett Mid Term Response

The two sites I’m going to compare and contrast are WITNESS and the Center for Digital Storytelling because, of all of the many sites we’ve looked at, they seem to have stuck with me more. Not quite sure why, but perhaps as I write my paper it’ll become clearer to me.

Both sites tell people’s […]

Week 5: Adam King

My first thought after watching the films on Lunch Love Community? God, a flaming Cheeto must smell epically disgusting. My second thought was that this was the exact kind of work my fiancée used to do as a gardening and nutrition teacher at an elementary school inSalmon Creek,CA. The importance of hands-on education is hugely […]

Week 5: Emily Priebe

For the midterm paper, I’m really interested in looking at the concept of structuralism that appears in Digital Culture. Structuralism is a theory that says human culture must be understood in terms of a relationship to an overarching structure. I think this concept is challenged by some of the works that we’ve studied so far, […]

Week 5: Amanda Eckerson

I’m interested in analyzing two forms of participatory media that seek to shift power paradigms by comparing and contrasting a focus on product (films that emphasize their content’s message) and process (films that focus on an inclusionary process to shift power dynamics). I’ll be looking at Scribe as an example of a community institution that […]
