The Orientation Week 1st Activity

It's the first week of the BCT and it's already hyping up. There were great activities that happened this week.
First was the Social Mapping which you have to put your interest in the sticky notes and connect it to other people with the same interest as well. When I was taking a picture, it happens that I forgot to put the SD card to the right place so I didn't get any picture, fail.. :(


Anyway after one of the lecturer Mr.Gabriel, told us to make a structure of that social map using the Gephi software and make a visualization of it. It's kinda interesting to use Gephi because it kinda like a Photoshop but at the same time your doing some sort of Programming when we entered the data in Microsoft Excel and importing it to Gephi.  I'm pretty sure we're gonna use this a lot during the course. After that we decided to pick one of the works we did and develop it further to an extent of what can be a more interesting way to present it. 


Overall I see that there are flaws in the making of a boring information or data into an engaging way so that audience or viewers would be attracted to it. It's a sort of marketing strategy as well in my perspective. Nevertheless this course would be really exciting in the future outcomes.
