November 12, 2024 - Alternative Media

  *** Notice! Because you are all very hard working students, and the weather is getting dark and cold, the last 5 classes, November 26-January 7 can be done at home online. You do not have to come to class! I will post the assignment on Monday, and you can finish it anytime before Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. If it is finished by then, you will be counted as present and get full points for the completed work. Any questions? email me or ask me now!***   

 The most popular websites, like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook have hundreds of million of users. You probably use at least one of these or maybe all three! But they are not the only websites out there.


Actually, there are many alternative sites that give a similar experience. Some people refuse to use YouTube, Twitter and Facebook because of security, disagreements, or they have no interest in using them.

One site I enjoy that is like YouTube, but different is Odysee.

Check out Odysee!


There are lots of videos there that YouTube has banned because they disagree with the topic. Also the home page of YouTube always shows the most popular videos, maybe not the most interesting one. So many people prefer to avoid that and go somewhere else to see what they like.


What is an alternative media site that you use? It could be a video site,  blogging site or social network site. It MUST be something that allows the user to create, not just read/watch. 

Please share a site with us and explain in 50 words or more why its worth checking out!

October 29, 2024 - Mid Term Long Form Assignment.

     Let's talk about games! I have been playing games all my life, ever since I got a home version of Pac-Man for Christmas all the way back in 1982!! I don't play games very often, and honestly I only play old-style games. Ones that are short and simple to learn. I don't have infinite time (like you) to play games all weekend! Plus I like what I grew up with, so I often just replay those games over and over. I was VERY excited when I recently learned that one of my favorite game series, Final Fantasy, was having its older games remade and updated for the the 2020s, while still keeping that old-time feel.  The games are called Pixel Remasters, and are meant to look like the old 2D style of games, while having modern features, such as cloud saves, multiple soundtracks, language options, simple menus, and touch controls. The games came out for iOS, Android and Steam PCs (windows only) On July 29th 2021! I am excited! I feel like a kid again!!!! Here is a trailer to sh...
