    WASHINGTON CHILDREN’S CHOICE PICTURE BOOK AWARD 2014 ACTIVITY PACKET Bear in Love By: Daniel Pinkwater Illustrated: Will Hillenbrand Synopsis: Bear find something orange and crunchy outside of his cave one morning. Who left it for him? Surely, someone nice. Bear tries to solve this mystery by leaving treats for the someone nice and discovers the meaning of doing kindness for others. (adapted from book flap) Suggested Reading Date: Anytime , Valentine’s Day Activity Descriptions: 1) Bear doesn’t know the word “carrot,” but he describes them. Gather objects and have students use descriptive words to explain them. (extension: place all of the objects on the floor, a student could read their descriptive words and see if others can figure out which object it is!) 2) Similar to Activity 1, Bear’s description of a carrot could be turned into a riddle “what is orange, long and pointy, has green bushy leaves at one end, and is crunchy?” Students could create their own riddles. 3) Compare and contrast Bears and rabbits using a Venn Diagram. You might use additional non-fiction resources (books, animal websites, encyclopedia, etc.) on the two animals to complete this task.

    Digital Content Creation Annual Report for FY12 Submitted by Betsy Kruger, Head DCC I. Unit Narrative A. Overview of major activities and accomplishments in FY12 and major challenges faced i) Digital Content Creation’s (DCC) major activities and accomplishments in FY12 focused on the digitization of significant special collections, primarily in the RBML, the University Archives, the IHLL, the Sousa Archives, and the Map Library, which are detailed in various sections below. We also digitized a substantial amount of University of Illinois related publications, including dissertations, for deposit into IDEALS. We worked closely with CAM metadata personnel and the Visual Resources Coordinator at FAA on access issues related to our digitized content. We provided cost recovery digitization services for several campus units, and handled numerous patron requests for digital images. In addition to the digital projects outlined in the chart below, other major activities of the year included: (1) Developing and issuing a successful RFP for Digital Imaging Services, along with HPNL and the Preservation Department; (2) Oversight of and training for the Library’s participation in the IMLS grant funded Copyright Review Management System – World project, a collaborative project with the University of Michigan and 14 other institutions to make reliable copyright status determinations for foreign-published titles, which constitute a significant portion of the scholarly works being digitized by projects such as HathiTrust. (3) Began work on a Library funded initiative to assess the needs of non-Library, non-FAA units on campus for digitization and image management services. Our partners include representatives from FAA, CITES, and LAS/IT.

Facebook page administrators must successfully navigate Facebook’s News Feed algorithm to have content reach the largest possible audience. This algorithm uses different measures of audience interaction when determining how “engaging” a post is, rewarding the more en- gaging posts by increasing the likelihood that they will show up in a fan's News Feed.

    Thesis User-Generated Content

    THESIS USER-GENERATED CONTENT: AN EXAMINATION OF USERS AND THE COMMODIFICATION OF INSTAGRAM POSTS Submitted by June Mia Macon Department of Journalism and Media Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2017 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Rosa Mikeal Martey Katherine Abrams Antero Garcia Copyright by June Mia Macon 2017 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT USER-GENERATED CONTENT: AN EXAMINATION OF USERS AND THE COMMODIFICATION OF INSTAGRAM The language around social media contributes to perceptions of who is posting content and why. The concept of user generated content (UGC) places an emphasis on authorship and has been defined as online content that is publically available and created by end-users in a creative effort (Dennhardt, 2013). UGC is a powerful tool for businesses because it taps into one of the most valued marketing tools: verbal consumer-to-consumer communication, which is also known as “word of mouth” (WOM) marketing. However, the tactics used by companies to integrate UGC with their own content and goals has resulted in a blurred line between sponsored content paid by advertisers and UGC independently posted by regular users. Recent attempts to regulate this distinction have struggled to determine how, exactly, audiences can be effectively alerted to paid content on social media platforms, especially Instagram. This study uses the persuasion knowledge model (PKM) as a theoretical framework to examine if and when audiences’ responses to and coping mechanisms are triggered in Instagram. It argues that digital media literacy is especially challenged in UGC platforms, and draws on political economy to suggest that the relationships between producers and consumers has been blurred in favor of the producers.
