CS371 Blogger Icebreaker- Elizabeth Kvil


Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth Kvil but I usually go by Lizzy :) I am a fourth year communications major. I really enjoy watching true crime on YouTube. My favourite channel that makes the best true crime content (in my opinion) is Bella Fiori. Every time I wanna learn about a new case I find myself always watching her videos. She has a very calm voice and I can always keep up with the facts that she mentions throughout the video. She always picks the best cases to talk about and that's why I usually chose her over the other true crime creators. She was one of the youtubers that got me into watching true crime as well. 


Here is the link to her youtube channel if you wanna check it out :)

    Hi Lizzy! I love your post as I also enjoy watching Bella's videos. I think her accent is so soothing when she talks and her tone makes it easy to understand. One thing I really enjoy with her videos is that she uses photos to show the people involved, the, location, the murder weapon, etc. I think those additions help me visualize the story better. Great post!

    Hello Lizzy! I enjoyed reading your post and I think that Bella Firori makes one of the best true crime content on Youtube as well. Youtube has become a platform that has not only been used for entertainment purposes, but now for educational purposes as well for inside and outside school; whether that is to go in-depth about a concept for a psychology class, learn how to cook a certain dish, expand one’s
    knowledge on history, the list goes on. I find that social media platforms such as Youtube have become more prevalent in the education system, where students can have a better understanding of school material by helping them learn more about complex concepts while expanding their knowledge on certain topics. Rather than reading from a textbook, teachers integrate these videos into their lesson plans to help explain and summarize their lessons better. The visual and audio aspects that are shown in these videos make learning easier and more interesting which aids comprehension.

CS371 Blog Icebreaker (TikTok) - By Sarah Humphreys Hello! My name is Sarah Humphreys, and I am a third year Communication Studies student, with a minor in Education and North American Studies. I utilize various social media platforms daily, and my favourite platforms would include, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and TikTok. I love these platforms as I can explore an abundance of interests, including fashion trends, healthy lifestyle accounts, and workout routines. The platform I favour the most is TikTok as you can quickly absorb convenient content when time is limited. TikTok produces short and snappy videos, and I find my algorithm to be very accurate in showcasing my interests. A particular TikTok account that I find compelling is @movementwithjulie ( https://www.tiktok.com/@movementwithjulie?lang=en ), this account focuses on showcasing workout routines that target different muscles, and each video is conveniently labelled so you can find the desired workout you are looking for in...

CS371 Blog Post #3 - Tiffany Chan

In class, we talked about Baym’s four perspectives on the causal relationship between technology and society, which technological determinism is evident in The Guardian's article discussing Facebook’s Awareness of Instagram’s Harmful Effects on Teenage Girls . Technological determinism is when technology plays a principal role in society’s transformation, ultimately having an effect on our everyday lives. Although Instagram was originally intended to share photos and videos with one’s friends and family, it has provided new opportunities for social media influencers and celebrities to post heavily filtered content of themselves and their lives to showcase a glamourized lifestyle. What was once a fun and carefree platform has now become a competition for others to gain popularity based on their looks and lifestyle, breeding toxicity within the platform. With the constant comparison, young individuals, especially teenage girls feel pressured to achieve this ‘perfect’ life, which affe...

  Hi everyone, my name is Kimberly Browne, and I'm a 3rd-year communications student! I love music and think Spotify stands out from every other music platform. I make many playlists and can find different songs with some of the features that Spotify has. Discovery weekly is a Spotify-generated playlist that releases 30 songs every week based on your music taste. Another feature called "go to radio" plays similar songs to the one you're currently playing, and when I'm making my playlists, the "enhanced" feature adds similar ones to your playlist. I find it funny that there's a constant argument between people choosing the two major streaming platforms, Apple Music, versus Spotify. However, because of these features, being able to see friends' listening activity and the app's clean layout, I switched from Apple Music to Spotify. If you like making playlists and finding new music/genres, consider making Spotify your new music platform!
