Introduction

Hello Friends, 

My name is Jenneya and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am taking the time to re-center enjoy this  summer after a stressful couple of years. I've been spending extra time on my hobbies, at the beach with my family, and tending to my vegetable garden.  

Here are some of my favorite digital tools for de-stressing:

  Sherry Turkle concludes that technology is socially psychologically powerful.The way we currently utilize technology has altered the ways in which we perceive and connect with the world, and ultimately with ourselves. She goes on to state that in her research, she’s noticed new patterns in regards to in-person interactions and internal reflection.  In-person conversations happen in real time and we are unable to revise what we want to say to others.  We want to customize our lives and prioritize only the things we want to pay attention to.  We desire in-person interactions, but also have a preference for the digital world.  Turkle believes that in the future, tech will be developed to connect with us rather than assist us like Google or Siri.

This would also be an amazing source of data for youth workers, educators, or researchers who do work around youth development and education.  To-Do List:  Create the prompts for voice, written, and video submissions Explore different website building platforms Select a websi...

What the Experts Know:  Over a decade ago, the Fairness in Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a group based in NY who monitors the media concluded that the front page photos of three major papers unfairly represent different groups of people.  They observed the title pages of these three dailies for a month and recorded their findings as:  30% of the men of color featured on the front page were athletes, and 14% were accused/convicted of crimes. 78%. of articles were based on information provided by government officials Washington Post front page photos 13% were women  All women of color featured were victims of fire, poverty, or drugs. 13% of  quotes came from women New York Times front page photos 11% were women  6% of quotes came from women USA Today front page photos 30% were women (55% of the men were in politics & business, but none of the women featur...
