In the past few weeks, my groupmates and I worked on the project of a new media tool. Jojo suggested that Storify would be a nice topic. So we found informations about it. Storify is a new platform for posting news and stories. Everyone can be a journalist to edit news with texts, images, videos and even comments from different social media groups. It is especially usefull for people who wants to follow news. They can simply click to read the whole story instead of searching choppy versions on the internet.
Another fascinating feature of this tool is that we don't no longer need to type any complicated codes ( like what im doing right now, so confusing!), but just drag-and-drop the information to your story. It is so user-friendly that we don't even need to check out the user guide.
Anyway, here's a user guide. You will find it user-friendly after you watched this video. Enjoy!
Writing for new media is an important topic for everyone in the world. Not only adults should know more about it, but also children, teenagers and elderly.
Firstly, writing for new media makes life easier. Nowadays, we use internet and all kinds of related technologies to communicate with families, friends, teachers, students, colleagues, societies, government...And even STRANGERS! If you don't know how to make use of the tools, the communication process can be far more complicated and time-wasting.
Secondly, writing for new media helps us to know more about the world. It helps us to get involved. We can know any kinds of news and knowledge through them. Without all the new media tools, it is impossible for us to enrich ourselves at home.
Most importantly, writing for new media help us to interact and express ourselves so that everyone on earth is being linked together. There is no distance on the internet. We can attend class thousand miles away from the classroom; we can chat with strangers; we can write storys and blogs to the world...
Everything seems possible on the internet. It is gaining much more importance that we can hardly live without it. It is vital for everyone to know more about writing for new media in order to catch up with the fast-changing world.
Thanks for introducing us to this tool - it's a very interesting one. How would you suggest that people use Storify to create content? What kind of content do you think it is most suited to?
ReplyDeleteHi Christoph! Thank you for visiting my blog!Storify is useful in a way that it has a good information database that people can easily find comments and relevant information in different socail media. Also it is user-friendly, it is suitable for normal public to create and share stories. It is especially useful for summarizing on-going events like floods and political elections. Also, we can use Storify to conclude worth-discussing topics, such as marriages of celebraties.
