This portfolio explores the numerous forms in which new media can be presented. New media writing gives a fresh perspective on written expression, giving the title of "author" to anyone with a desire to share their perspective on the world. I invite you to explore the contents of this portfolio to examine the various ways in which new media writing can be presented. New Media is important to me because it is a defining aspect of our generation. How we communicate and access information has been drastically changed by the internet, smart phones and technology. In social media outlets such as Facebook or Twitter and online newspapers and blogs, New Media is everywhere and is often right at our fingertips.
With a personal connection to new media writing, the metaphor that has been selected to describe this portfolio is brushing your teeth, "a habit of mind, something you do every day". Brushing teeth is something we do everyday, without even thinking, it is an essential part of our daily lives. Even though brushing ones teeth may seem of little importance, it has a high impact on overall health and happiness. Although new media may seem of little importance, it is a necessary and more importantly, relevant aspect of communication and expression. New media writing has a high impact on the way we think about the world, build relationships, communicate and learn. This form of writing is a habitual and essential part of my life, therefore, I felt that the metaphor of brushing ones teeth was appropriate for characterizing this portfolio. I hope you as you explore the new media assignments and their contents that you keep the metaphor of brushing ones teeth in mind.
