I like this because it gives some background information on some of the history of new media and the effects it has on us .

The purpose of project 1 is to design a comic tutorial about a web base networking site. Business writing will help communicate the purpose and goal of the document to your readers.

This is my favorite of the websites that supplement my understanding of remediation because it does a great job of explaining the subject. It gives great examples of movies and events that involved remediation that I would know and this helped me understand it more. 

This article analyzing Bolter, Grusin book has fianlly helped me "get it." For some reason this was hard for me to wrap my mind around, but the way it is re-stated here is better for me.

This is a writing from Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin that defines remediation, hypermediacy and immediacy. It has very good descriptions written in a way we can relate to by bringing in examples that are familiar to us like the movie Jurassic Park and the Pathfinder landing on Mars.

This gives .. a great examples of immediacy and provides serveral explanations of this topic related to media.

Finally I find a halfway decent site with information on how to do a video resume. This includes some information on both doing the video yourself and paying to have someone help you with it. Good information though as you make your own.

DD11 HW 3 I like this presentation even though there is no audio because by thinking about each slide I am able to see more clearly what is meant by remediation. Linking it throughout history helps me to understand the evolution

This article discusses some of the main factors in "Introduction: The Double Logic of Remediation". Remediation, immediacy, hypermediacy and mediation. It gives an overall review and glossary terminology for these topics discussed.

Review of the book "Remediation" Key concepts. Good read helped with the understanding of the chapters of the book.

This is an except to a book that supports the ideas of the text we had to read. I thought this was useful because it brought to my attention the other side of the story, I hadn't realized that maybe we need to branch off of older media in order to produce newer, and more amazing things. However, I just don't see that happening to easily because there is no foundation for it to be built off of at the moment. 

An insightful/helpful review of the Remediation book

This website explains what is discussed in remediation and further explains some of the concepts used in the reading. This can be helpful if your looking for some further explanation of the reading.

This is another article that explains remediation, understanding new media.

Transparent immediacy is "new media" that thinks of itself as interfaceless whiles hypermediacy is opaque and juxtaposed and come back into repeated contact with interface. Both get beyond representation and into the real.

This article contains 13 very specific do's and don't of writing for your video resume

This is written for students learning about formal reports. It is short and sweet but it has everything you need to do well.

This page talks directly about the double logic of remediation and correlates closely with a lot of the concepts and theory talked about in the reading. It mentions immediacy which is aimed at diminishing users awareness of the media and hypermediacy which is aimed at enhancing that same awareness. It gives some great examples of the double logic of remediation and really helped me better understand what it means. This was my favorite of the different pages that I explored.

This is a good article explaining the layout of a formal report.
