I’m not a dinosaur

Hi, everybody! My name is Victoria, I use ey/em/eir pronouns, and I currently live in Sarasota, Florida. I am in my final semester of the MSI program, and hope to be a public librarian once I graduate. Currently, I work in a smallish public library, where I help out with youth and teen services.

A person in an orange inflatable dinosaur suit waves with one hand in front of a cardboard arch with a painted sign that says “Jurassic Park.”

The dinosaur to the left is not me, but I did take the photograph and build the cardboard arch for one of our library programs!

I haven’t done much work with media production before, but I collect historical fonts and enjoy making silly memes to put up on the library’s teen bulletin board. I hope that this class will help me get a better sense of how to approach image and video editing. I am also fascinated by intellectual property law, despite having no background in it, so I am looking forward to talking more about copyright and licensing.

Media Lab 01: Blogging

A portrait of me

Hi everyone! My name is Adam Alhassan, originally from Lagos, Nigeria (the entertainment center of Africa), now living in Tallahassee, Florida. I got my Bachelors in IT from FSU and now about to get my Masters in IT (this is my last semester). I am a Quality Assurance Supervisor. I have several hobbies, but the one that takes the cake is playing video games, and I mostly play on the PlayStation 5 console. I was interested in this class because we would be working with digital media, which should be fun. I hope to learn more from this class to improve my media creating and editing skills.

Media Lab 01 – David Baker’s blog post

My name is David Baker and I’m from Orlando, FL. I graduated from FSU in 2004 with a bachelor of science in Business – Management Information Systems. I’ve worked in the information technology field for about 18 years and currently work at Citrix.

My favorite thing to do is ride motocross on the weekends. Occasionally, I’ll create some videos out at the track using a GoPro and upload them to my YouTube Channel.

Librarianship is Life!

Librarianship is everything individuals are aware of and what they are not yet aware of. I have been lucky to find and discover something new, about EVERYTHING, EVERY DAY thanks to the whole idea of librarianship (Information, connections, revelations, everything!)

I am Harry Brake, from the City of Butler, Pennsylvania, have family connections to the Pittsburgh Steelers, now live in Delaware, and am studying the Master’s in Information Science with the ALA Certification. I work/manage the Woodbridge High School Library, previously worked at The American School Foundation in Mexico City and brought back my dogs from Mexico as you can them posing below:

I coach Cross Country, am the President of the Delaware Association of School Libraries, I love to blog at my blog site – I LOVE social media creation with students surrounding me with their ideas, love the outdoors, aquariums, and my work with The Nanticoke River Watershed Conservancy. I love finding ways to cross technology to promote environmentalism.

I love the fact that a wide range of social media and mediums are represented in this class and LOVE the potential of what others will bring to these mediums from their personal experiences.
