Newschoolers

Newschoolers is an amazing wed site for any skier. It is kinda like a Facebook that is just for skiers. It has lots of forums about anything that has to do with skiing as well as many other sports skiers like to do during the off season like biking, climbing, skating, ect. as well as forums it lets you upload pictures and videos.

Newschoolers is also great because they give you snow and park up dates for almost every ski mountain you can think of. They also lets you know about any new skiing events coming up like ski movies, rail jams.

One thing I noticed was their is a lot of advertisement on the website that used the big lie technique. They would say a product will make you way better and things like this.

pandora vs grooveshark

Pandora and Grooveshark are two of my favorite websites. They both are radio web sites that let you listen to music for free. The web sites let you choose the music you want to listen to and it will also pick music that it thinks you will like. Both web sites can be a kind of technological shift (analog to digital) because it is taking music that would normal be on the radio or Cd's and putting it on a website. It is also a person shift, both websites takes radio, witch normally no one has control of and turns it into personal radio when every one can pick what music they want as well as what music they do not like. Their are some big differences between these web sites.

Pandora: Pandora lets you pick from a song name, artist, album or composer. Once you pick what you would like to listen to pandora picks music that matches what you wanted. You do not always get the song or the artist you picked though. and another down fall is you can only skip six songs in a hour. Pandora also lets you pick if you like or dislike the songs. Their are also commercials every once and a while on pandora.

Grooveshark: Grooveshark can do all the same things as pandora plus much more. With Grooveshark you can make playlist pick what song you want to listen to. As well as stop songs rewind them and play them over again.

8 TRENDS:

· Powder magazine has the normal print magazine format but it also has a online magazine, blogs, video, pictures and a store at www.Powdermag.com because of this it makes them part of convergent media format.

7 PRINCIPLES:

· This issue of powder magazine is pretty much just trying to sell the reader skiing gear and or trying to get them to go skiing at different mountains. I think this is because it is the apparel guide for 2011. It has add or a article about how amazing a ski is on almost every other page.

29 PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES:

· This magazine had a lot of persuasive techniques. It had Symbols in many of the pictures and adds. Also they use Big Lie when in one of the adds it says that a shirt is going to give you confidents when it matters.

1) After studying 21st century Media for the last 8 weeks I have learned to Bog/ twitter and also look at media on a deeper meaning.

2) I have learned that I am better at reading a text book and getting the important facts out of it. I think this way we have to blog about each chapter has helped me with finding facts.

3) If I was to take the class again I would have put more work into my personal blog. I think this is the only things so far that I need to put a little more work into.

4) One thing I would have liked you to do differently would be to explain how to do the personal blogs better. I felt like I was not completely clear on how you wanted them done.

5) I find the power tools and course blog vary helpful the course blog helps me with staying on track because I can always look at it and see what is going on in class I feel the personal blog did not teach me as much but it was a lot more fun.
