Organizing my own thoughts is difficult enough, but organizing the thoughts of my entire class into a rough draft table of contents BEFORE anything has actually been written other than a few rogue thoughts seems near impossible! Even since my last post, we've actually been reassigned to write not just one, but two chapters!
So to those of you that are investigating our class' progress on our Ebook, bear with me! And to my classmates, sorry if I totally misread your thoughts or missed something! But here we go!
Section 1: The Digiliterary World
Saren - Finding a Home in the Digiliterary World
The digiliterary world is intimidating, but it's possible to feel at home in a strange new world.
Shelby- Owning the Internet
The internet creates ease for mislead ownership
Meghan- Magic Libraries
Ebook libraries are on the rise, how does this ease affect reading habits of all?
Nathan- Old vs. New
The digital world is documenting the past, but losing accurate information.
Section 2- Content
Saren- Reviewing Reviews
What does it take to make a good review on different platforms, and why does it matter?
Leah- Finding New Love in Old Titles
The availability of content on Amazon and Goodreads allows people to re-explore classic works.
Emily: New Beliefs
Amazon and Goodreads gives so much information, but there is a way to understand it all.
Section 3- Social Reading
Meghan- Social Obedience
Learning the social "rules" of Goodreads can maximize user experience.
Lauren- Lonely Companionship
Increasing and decreasing the social sphere through electronic reading.
Lauren- Preserving Connections
With everything becoming digitally stored, personal connections deepen.
Shelby- Finding Safety
Reading socially doesn't have to be dangerous if done correctly.
Section 4- Online Identity
Nathan- The Man Behind the Mask
Internet identities allow a more honest outlook from the user when discussing literature.
Jenna- Finding Ourselves Online
Our identity online can impact our credibility.
Obviously my titles/descriptions need work, and I need more even sections, but hey, it's a start! I definitely think that there needs to be a bigger focus on the way that these things affect the academic world, as that's what we've been learning about, as well as using the Kindle itself. Granted, some of our chapters may cover the Kindle in some ways that we just don't know yet because we haven't written them yet.
I love the simplicity of the division's you chose. This really pulls together the different directions of the articles well.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure how many chapters we are after. I guess just as many to carry the book along? Although I do think it's comforting that we could use the same books for a lot of different angles and kind of just tailor it to our needs. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteYeah I get what you're saying Shelby. I like the way you divided up our ideas, Saren. There is a logical and simple flow.
