Sharing PDF step-by-step. Student Feedback

I mentioned this document in class and the handout that I had printed for you. Here it is as an electronic version. Thank you Avery for updating the step-by-step procedure how to embed a pdf into google drive and then into the blog:

After uploading the pdf into google drive, click the three dots in the upper right hand corner (or right-click on the pdf document) and select 'Share'. Copy the shareable link and open a new tab.  Paste the link in the new tab to open the pdf again (this time as it's own separate file and not just a Google Drive preview).  Now click the three dots in the upper right hand corner again.  This time there should be an option to embed.  Copy that bit of code.  Then go to your Blogger entry and switch from 'Compose' to 'HTML'.  Paste the code in there.  I changed the width to 560 to make it fit a little better in my blog format.

The World's First Cyborg Artist

This artist was born with a condition that made him unable to see color.  When he was 21 he worked with a computer scientist to install a chip and electronic eye onto the back of his head.  He now hears color, and he hears it everywhere.  He considers himself the world's first cyborg and he has founded the Cyborg Foundation.

Welcome and Outline of Course Work for Week 1

Welcome to our class blog and to working together this semester! You find the coursework in the syllabus as posted on Moodle. I will make adjustments here and there to the assignments as needed in order to be flexible to the learning that happens during the semester.

Here is a breakdown of the assignments due next Tuesday evening. Since we have explored the blog settings only in passing, we will address any issue you may have with putting up images, adjusting permissions, etc, in our next class. Have a good, first week at TC!

Richard



Assignments #1, due Sep 13, 2016, 11:59 PM

1) Create an individual blog with a first entry that introduces you and your educational background. Add a few sentences about your experience-level with new media. Post a photographic portrait of yourself in the sidebar of your blog.

2) Conduct a short research online and locate an artist who uses technology as an important part of her studio practice or teaching. Write a blog entry about his/her work and how he/she uses technology creatively (1 paragraph; include a reference image of her/his work; do not copy/paste text, use your own words to summarize).

3) Research an art institution/gallery/museum or, if you prefer, school that focuses on technologies and list the type of media they specialize in.

4) Read Douglas Rushkoff, either Chapter 1 or 2, and share two take-aways on your blog.

5) Become a digital steward for one subtopic-area of this course and select your presentation spot through our read/write-page http://piratepad.net/VDH5K0tXUP.

6) Study the syllabus and clarify with the instructor any question that you may have.



General notes: a) Your blog will serve as your visual journal throughout the semester. You will use it as an archive, as a repository for homework, and as your visual journal. Use it also to reflect your learning process and to post notes from the class. Make entries related to our topic along the way including sketches drafts, media files, links, etc. b) Give your blog posts descriptive titles that identify each assignment (1/1, 1/2, etc) so you (and others) can follow your progress throughout the semester. c) Let the instructor know how to best support you. As a community of learner, look out for each other; if you see a class mate struggling, please help if you can and bring it to the my attention. Take advantage of office hours and make appointments; it’s easy: richardjochum.youcanbookme.com. d) Feedback: Ask for specific feedback where you need it. And give each other feedback, too. I will ask you at times to do just that.
