Take a look at my web portfolio of all things Megan! I call it “Curriculum Vitae of Megan Spurr” Where one comes on the interwebs to find things about Megan Spurr. And possibly Batman. (Seriously folks, I have a Batman thing going on. You get two points and a tip of my hat if you figured that out from my wordpress username)

What they are still not understanding
I was really struck by the Ted talk by Larry Lessig where a predominant discussion was about how it is that the new generation learns. It struck me then, as I read it as a lesson that we need to change the rules of how we publish.. well, everything, so that we don’t raise the next generation of children to be criminals. As all Ted talks are, he really only breached the tip of the iceberg.
Everyone should be a media outlet
Yes – everyone is a media outlet. My understanding when I worked in radio, was that we banked on that concept. We wanted to say something, and then word of mouth spread the information. The problem was that if someone got the information wrong, then the word of mouth didn’t do us any good. My point is, modern day ‘lame stream’ media has encouraged the idea that we should seek other non-professional sources for information for years – just not in the ‘stop tuning into channel 5 at 11 PM’ sort of way.
I’m not slacking off – i’m compiling!

This girl. Oops.
Timeline
For my project, I feel that the timeline is fairly limited. I would like to see things set-up in a fairly short order.
Online portfolio review
The first portfolio website I came across, gave me a nice idea in that I like being able to group some of my pages together under specific topics. For example, I am looking for a gallery page, as well as a multimedia page, which I like howTylerhere keeps these under the heading Selected Work. On the down side for his site, that I do not think I will come across as necessary on mine, he has split frames because his list of works is so long, that you have to scroll. It looks awful, and I feel like it’s a throwback to Geocities. (SorryTyler).
Open Questions – part one
I brought some of these questions up in my reading post, but there were many questions that came to mind during my readings:
