I’m gonna liveblog some observations. Let’s see how this goes.
Comics presentation reminds me of a study I did over in ISE where I annotated an article in print, on a computer, and on the iPad. Maybe find that researcher’s name?
Student retention presentation suggesting using blog posts to identify at-risk students. Interesting.
Kairos presentation has some intersects with celebrity studies as well as rhetoric and performance studies.
Technical writing/LinkedIn presentation is going to be folded into thesis research.
Feminist Instagram presentation is way into visual culture & looks to find visual representations of third-wave feminism on photo-based social media. Nice.
New literacies research presentation looks at how teachers use writing instruction in the classroom. Love a Peter Elbow reference.
Veterans/PTSD social networking presentation touches on something that I never even considered.
MyFitnessPal presentation is totally relevant to my wellness interests.
Women in gaming presentation is very interesting and could easy earn its notoriety in flamewars if it gets posted online somewhere. Quote from preso after an f-bomb: “That’s not productive at all.”
Fan communities presentation is going to use Netnography to analyze some of the data. I should look into that book.
And finally, I gave a presentation about Twitter and micro-celebrity. Or something. I’m tired.
