Growing up, schools were boring and we were barely on computers. When we were on computers, we had limited freedom. Students or faculty members having their own domain is an awesome idea. A student would like to have their own domain or “domain of one’s own” because it would be a million times easier for the student to express their thoughts, ideas, and responses to their professors and helps the student become efficient when creating an online identity. This also helps students prosper and achieve greater goals with their identities online. A professor would like to have their own domain because it makes monitoring the students progress in classes a walk in the park, which gives them more time to focus on helping the students becoming successful. Then the big questions comes into play. What would your domain name be and why would you choose that name? This question popped in my head after I listed to the ‘domain of ones own’ track. Which I agree with greatly because all its doing is helping the student become better learners and the teacher be better teachers. So, if I really had to choose a domain name I would try for jay0n.com or kyrous.com. I chose jay0n because its my poetry name and i chose kyrous because it means prestigious in greek and its the name of my production business, group, company, ect. I would like to start one day. Also i feel like a domain could be for personal and business use or you could just have two different domains. One for business use and the other for personal use

Navratri Digital Storytelling
Navratri (Hindi: नवरात्री Gujarati: નવરાત્રી Oriya: ନର୍ଵାର୍ତୀ Bengali: নবরাত্রি Kannada: ನವರಾತ್ರಿ Assamese: নৱৰাত্রি Marathi: नवरात्री Punjabi: ਨਰਾਤੇ Kashmiri: نَورات / नवरात Telugu: నవరాత్రీ Tamil: நவராத்திரி Malayalam: നവരാത്രി) is a festival dedicated to the worship of the Hindu deity Durga.Navratri means Nav means nine and ratri means night. This is a big hindu festival of India.
“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” is a quote in Sanskrit – the whole world is our family. So we think the whole world is our Kutum, Kutum means Family. We dance and we pray this time of the year, and we invite everyone to come join us because we believe everyone living in the world is part of our big family. I want to share my gif in a fun and colorful way. I will also be sharing my first gif. Yahhh finally I made few. In Instragram we see alot of video frames with pic, so I was thinking is that a GIF or a Video or can we make gif from it? So I looked into it, and Im sharing here gif I made so NO copyright issues. Every one should say understand the copyright, there is this issue of music you use when you load a Youtube video. Some times its a tricky but its someones IDEA so they should get credit for it. We couldn’t like our work to be stolen also.
So the Emotion between this gif is on top half of the GIF is walking into some place having no idea who will you meet and you meet the love of your life in the first sight. Bottom half it shows, how the guy tries to win her and she tries hard to get until he smiles and falls in love. LOL Just wanted to share a Bollywood fantasy. But in real life as you can see in the video all way in the end of this blog. Im dancing with my friends and having a good time, this is the time we fast and pray and enjoy the time with our friends and family, and bring joy and color to our life since its fall, soon it will be cold. The Dance in the gif is called Garba. 
I finally made a gif, I didn’t give up and kept looking. Then I came across this app named #PicPlayPost. In PicPlayPost you can came video frame(meaning 1 or more video in one frame), you can add pic and video together, last but not least you can create GIF. My gif is not HD because I was just playing around with it and i create it. In future it will be in HD.
The process was very easy, I opened the app, choice the frame for 2 video you can add more or just work with one. Then I added the video or videos (you need to allow the app to access the videos in your device) and click share you will see it says GIF under twitter, when you want to email this or save it your phone when you click it or touch it it will give you option to save as GIF or Video . You dont need twitter account for this app to work. Then it saves the gif in your device even in IPHONE. I was just playing with my iphone and I made it. I was so happy. Just in 1-2-3 you will have your gif. I hope to make more and better gif. Its my first, do give it a try and let me know. I might just put a video of how to use this app. Here is the video and gif of same pic and video.
This is the gif and left one is the video.

Digital Identity
I believe people would want their own domain mainly for own personally use so they can start getting known online. I started thinking a while ago that i might choose my domain name from any song I liked. One of my favorite bands is Linkin Park so i started looking around to see if i could use any of my favorite songs as my domain name. Sadly a lot of my favorite songs were already taken as domain names, clearly not the only one who had this idea in mind. But finally i did find one song that I liked that was available so I made my decision of using the song name as my own domain name.
World Wide Web Identity
As a Information System Management major, I have seen my professors having there own website. It’s really is awesome that we can do that and someone sitting in thousand or all the away around the world they can find us just by our domain identity. So I want my domain name to be my first initial and my last name together. As I move forward in life, I would like to use this as a professional site. But that was taken. I couldn’t sign up. Hope things will get better soon.
Domain Name: Digital Self
Why would we have our own domain name? I think students or faculty members may have their own domain name because it shapes who they are. We are in a world that opens an unlimited variety of usage of the Internet. Creating your own domain name can’t hurt social media. It just improves who we are. Rather than using our full name we can create something that describes our personality or a memory. I think other people have their own domain name to identify the domain host. A student for example might use something catchy whereas a faculty member might keep it profession. According to educational therapist, Warren Arbogast’s point of view of domain name is; “that they don’t only control and own, but they understand how it works.”
I would choose my DM based on who I am. It will incorporate my name and also a part of something I find interesting.
I would like to use “jtproductionz” or “jtcreate” as my domain name because of my initial first and last name, J.T. I like to work with all kinds of productions and share my creative ideas with others. I checked my domain name’s availability at https://instantdomainsearch.com/ and it lit up green once I created my DM. My initial domain would have been ‘jtproductions’ but was already taken and I think the ‘z’ makes it a bit more fancy and catchy. Hence, student domain. Also it would have cost over 2K for an ‘s’. As opposed to a ‘z’ is way cheaper.
