Week 2-2: Media Proposal Frustration
After being really excited about the possibilities for my media project this past week I have been frustrated with the media content proposal this week. I cannot quite put into words the ideas that I have in my head. I do believe that it is a really great assignment because it has really made me focus in on what I want to create. However, I have had trouble explaining the media project in detail because I keep wanting to place my thesis work into my content proposal. I forget that the content proposal what my thesis looks like in action instead of trying to prove myself all over again.
Just like a rubik’s cube all of the parts are there, I just need to put them in the proper place and perspective. I think the major problem is that my ideas have been in my head for so long now it was as if my brain dumped all of my ideas out and now I have to organize them. This is why I believe placing the Media Content Proposal assignment earlier in another class would have been helpful.

Ryan I couldn't agree more about the Media Content Proposal assignment being placed earlier in the class. I have been thinking about why it was placed at the end and I am thinking that the goal is for us to use all that we have learned throughout the year and put it into practice with the proposal. I still think this could have been done in draft form earlier and then completed this month.
Good look with the rest of this process. The fact that you desire to create something tangible with all that you have learned means that you will end up with a strong final product. Keep it up, it has been a pleasure working with you throughout the year.

I have to agree that the Media Content Proposal assignment should have been introduced to us much earlier - if only to really get us thinking about how we might want to incorporate several tools that we have discovered along our journey. Had the project been originally assigned and discussed in our ninth month I'm sure many of us would be able to have much better, more comprehensive projects in the works. For myself I know this is true and, even though I am using a tool we discovered only in month 10, I know that there would still be much more to my project even if I decided to change formats - the content already created would still be able to be incorporated.
I have found that several elements of this program would have made better sense to me had they been organized differently - from the placement of the Course Management Systems class after Gaming Strategies and Motivation (talk about some major demotivation with that transition!), to introducing major projects so late in the process. Perhaps that is all a part of why we are the last class the experience the frustrations of a thesis. I understand the Action Reports are expected to be more work (really?? personally, I'd say that depends on an individual's research efforts) however, they seem to have been incorporated into a process that offers less confusion and, just as importantly, fewer surprises for the students.
