APP SmackDown: Twitch

App Smackdown


    The smackdown app that I chose was twitch. Twitch is a live streaming platform that many creators use just like youtube. Very well known for its video game and just chatting categories. Viewers can interact with streamers through live chat, subscribe to channels for perks, and support creators with donations or virtual items like Bits. Many streamers earn money through subscriptions, ads, and sponsorships.

    Because you can stream on twitch, you can use for things like a sports podcast or even to live stream and sports event, Broadcasting to many sports fans live. I cause use this for me to say if I wanted to interview some one or if my job used twitch as a platform to stream a event or game on.

    There are many ways that twitch can be used, whether that is for your own use or for a large scale event for a company, sports game, E sports etc. Showing people that there are more platforms to use then just Youtube.

    Carter, when you first mentioned Twitch, I could feel your enthusiasm. Your explanation of the how creators get paid and how to get more viewers was insightful as I haven’t been on twitch in many years. Creating that space where the creator can go live and interact directly with their viewers has helped expand content creators reach. How do you see twitch continuing to expand their footprint with their current competition?

    It was interesting how you explained the different ways Twitch can be used beyond gaming, such as streaming sports events or hosting interviews. You also did a good job highlighting how it allows creators and organizations to connect with audiences live, showing its value as a versatile streaming platform.

    I really liked how you explained the versatility of Twitch beyond just gaming. Your point about using it for sports podcasts, live interviews, or broadcasting events shows that the platform can be a powerful tool for engagement and reaching audiences in real time. I also think it’s interesting that you highlighted ways creators can earn money through subscriptions, ads, and donations. That shows how Twitch isn’t just for sharing content, it’s also a platform that supports professional growth and entrepreneurship.

     In Chapter 2 of The Connected Educator by Sheryl  explains how teachers can grow by staying connected to  their own schools. Sheryl also describes how collaboration through learning communities, personal networks, and shared practices allows teachers to learn about certain ideas, and improve their teaching. The chapter shows us that being that a connected teacher does not make room for isolation but it  encourages lifelong learning, and helps teachers adapt to change by learning from others around the world.        I Think that the ideas coming from Chapter 2 of The Connected Educator strongly align with my career goal of working for NFL Films.

Web Tool Smackdown: Adobe Photoshop

  Video   Google slides    Adobe Photoshop is a powerful digital tool used for editing, enhancing, and creating images. Its considered the industry standard for photographers, designers, and media professionals. Photoshop allows users to adjust colors, retouch photos, add text and graphics, and work with layers to edit different parts of an image without affecting the whole. It is commonly used for everything from simple photo corrections to digital artwork, making it an essential program in fields like media production, marketing, and graphic design.  I use adobe Photoshop myself and I think that is is very useful in many different situations. That can mean for marketing like I said earlier, youtube thumbnails, and more. I think is a really fun website to play around with and to learn how to get better at it.
