1. Welcome

Welcome to my own website!

I am a student in Michigan State University. Now, I am studying a WRA150 course in this summer. In our class, the goal for me of this course is to learn how to use new media for networked learning and improve writing skill. So, during our last project, I need to create a photography blog by myself.

Because of I think photography is a good way to record my life, I hope people also can know how this works for life recording. Meanwhile, i also want to improve my writing skill and networked learning according to create this new media by myself. I will share my photo about my pets and my life  in this website because those two parts are most interested and important thing in my life. I believe they can show my purpose to people. Meanwhile, I know many people are intersted in photography. I will post some introducation and tips on my website. However, i will not focus on photography skill, and i will focus on how to use photograpy for life recording. I hope people who interested in photography are not only focus on skill of photography, but also can know potential value of photography during their life.

I also welcome people who is interested in new media, especially for website/blog could visite my pages, and then give me some feedback or sugguestion.

I hope my website will become a intersted and useful networked learning for me!

Summary of My Project 4

Title: Photography, Blogging and Photography Blog

I hope people could start interested in my new media-photo blog after they look through my paper. And then, people will know some interested and important thing in my life and communicated with me after they look my photo blog.   Here is the summary of my research paper.

I will try to figure out why photography blog become a kind of new cultures in the world. Because of the photography and blogging developing, photography blog started appear in people’s life. There are many amateurs of photography use blogging as a communication place to share and communicated with others. They post their photos and technology on their own blogging, and look through others blogging. I also interested in photography. So, I decided to create my own photography blog in order to learn more about photography and share my own photos to others. As more and more people choose photography to spend their free time, photography blog trends to be a kind of new cultures in the world. But why does more and more people prefer to create photograph blog rather than do any other activities like playing computer games on the internet? The most important reason is that we understand more about “cherishing everything in our lives”, which means we want to make a good use of everything, and take good care of other people. We all know yesterday will never happen again. Another reason is photography blog can catch the moment we feel commemorative. One good example is wedding, which is the most important moment in everyone’s life. The third reason is people can edit their photos on the computers, and show the perfect photos to others on the blog. Sometimes, people don’t want people see their unsuccessful or non perfect photos. Sometimes, amateurs like putting some photos together in order to get a new fantastic one. Then the next reason I think is people think blogging is more credibility than others media. Because of the college students are believe the blogging has higher credibility than others media, blogging become more and more popular in people’s life, especially for college students. The Last reason is people use photo blog share their story with each other (communication). People will use photo blog to share their story of daily life to online people according their photos. It is a good tool for communication. All in all, I will try to create a good photography blog basic on those reasons. I know many people are interested in photography. I hope they not only focus on skill of photography, but also can know how photography important during their life.

Outline of My Research Paper

Here is my outline of my research paper. Welcome people to give me some suggestion about it.

Outline of my research paper:

Introduction:

-Thesis argument: How can I relate blogging and photography in terms of cultural trend?

-introduce some basic history about photography and blogging in history.

Body:

Point 1: photography and blogging become popular

-some reasons about why photography become more popular (especially for college people)

       -there are some reasons. The first reason is, our amateurs want to better catching some moments that are meaningful to us. Second is, we can compare our skills with other amateurs, share our photos and get some suggestions from each other. Third reason is, photos with good qualities can show objects’ better aspects than photos with general

-some reasons about why blogging become popular (especially for college people)

-photography blog become a new cultural trend in today’s society & why

-my own idea about why I like photography, blogging and create a photography blog

Point 2: As more and more people choose photography to spend their free time, photography blog trends to be a kind of new cultures in the world. Why?

- The most important reason is that we understand more about “cherishing everything in our lives”, which means we want to make a good use of everything, and take good care of other people. We all know yesterday will never happen again.

- To catch the moment we feel commemorative.

- One good example is wedding, which is the most important moment in everyone’s life. Caswell, who takes a camera to attend a wedding says, “I don’t run around to people and tell them to look at me and smile. It’s fake, and there’s no life to a picture like that. The pictures I love are of people interacting with each other, not aware of me taking their picture” (Stromquist S13).

- Caswell says, “It brings back those emotions of the actual day, rather than the [much blander], camera-aware photography” (Stromquist S13).

- People can edit their photos in the computers.

- Goldsborough says, “Programs such as Adobe Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro let you do anything a professional can do in a darkroom and then some, without the noxious chemicals” (45). Try to learning the way to use those programs; they will bring you some unimagined, but good effects.

-College people’s perspective about credibility of blogging.

-Source: “That is to say, the more time students spent on blogs, the more they would perceive blogs to be more credible than other media with the same content.”

-because of the college students are believe the blogging has higher credibility than others media, blogging become more and more popular in people’s life, especially for college students.

Point 3: I will relate photography and blogging to create a professional photography blog.

-My purpose of my photography blog: I will create my website as a photography website. Because of I think photo is a good way to record some interested or important action during our life. I will share my photo about my pets and my life  in this website because those two parts are most interested and important thing in my life. I believe they can show my purpose to people. Meanwhile, I know many people are intersted in photography. I hope they not only focus on skill of photography, but also can know how photography important during their life.

Bibliography about my research paper

Construct an annotated bibliography of 5-10 sources that you’re most interested in from the research you’ve done.

Lin, Jih-Hsuan. “College Students’ Perceptions of Credibility of Blogs and Traditional Media as a Function of their Blog Usage.” Michigan State University, 2008. United States — Michigan: ProQuest. Web. 15 June 2011.

       This source will talk about the college students’ perception of credibility of blogs and how traditional media is change in college students.

       I may use this to show what perceptions of college students about blog, and it will help me to think about how to create a good blog to attract college students. Also, when I know their perceptions and how they use them, I could make my blog more substantive.

Petro, Nerino J.,. “Creating a Blog.” GPSolo 26.4 (2009): 34,34-39. ABI/INFORM Complete. Web. 15 June 2011.

       This source is talking about how to create a good blog.

       This source will help me to show some basic idea about how to create a good blog. I may use this in my background part of my paper.

       This source is talking about how to design accessible web, and some useful knowledge about web design.

       I will use this in my paper’s part about how to design my blog, and it will support and add information in my paper.

       The useful sentence I found in this source:

The aim of the paper is to generate discussion and sharing of knowledge and expertise relating to current best practices in the field of education and training for accessible web design.

       This source is talking about some idea about how to make blog for promotiong. Here is some good information I found in source:

“Blogging is about putting a face and personality on a show,” said Tim Bourquin, president of TNC New Media in Laguna Niguel, Calif., producer of the first Podcast and Portable Media Expo.

“We want to keep the momentum going between shows,” said Bourquin. “That’s the most value to us - to keep us in communication with attendees and exhibitors between shows.”

       This source is talking about the online literacy and trouble with information, the most useful information is the online literacy.

       I think I can use it in my introduction or background part of my paper because it will make my paper more critical and deeper, and give reader more idea about the culture of online literacy. It is good for me to create a website that has its own literacy.

Plagiarism and Citation for Academic Writing in University

3)        In your own words: how is information used from outside sources in the university (meaning sources that you, yourself, didn’t write)? What constitutes plagiarism and what constitutes using someone else’s ideas as a source to make an argument? What are some ways to tell the difference (between plagiarism and citation) when performing academic writing?

When we write academic paper and using some sources, we need to paraphrase, quotation and citation the information that we use in our own paper but is not our idea. We need to avoid the plagiarism in our paper. There is much kind of types of plagiarism. For example, copy other’s idea as own idea, handing in someone else’s work, handing in the same paper for two different classes, using source has no quotation marks or citation, and using the exact language of a source. I do some research about difference between plagiarism and citation: “Plagiarism and citation are often linked together in writing and publishing industry. Where citation is considered as intellectual honesty, plagiarism is taken as an intellectual offence. Plagiarism is referred as copying and using somebody’s words, thoughts and ideas and the like. On the contrary Citation is basically providing a reference. Citation is giving acknowledgment to any one whose research has been taken and utilized to support your work.”
