Back to Blogging!

Hi everyone! I'm excited to dive back into the world of blogging!

I was a big fan of blogging in high school and college and kept up a blog detailing my study abroad adventures at the time. Eventually, as I neared graduation and added several more responsibilities to my plate, blogging fell off my radar, but I'm excited to get back into it and to read classmates' blogs this summer!

From there, I could easily add the article into my Pocket with the web extension, but it saves me a step to simply click the Pocket button on Longform's site.

Snap Map Exploration

I posted last week about the new feature called Snap Map on Snapchat, which allows users to see the locations of their followers on a map of the world at all times (unless a specific user opts to go into 'ghost mode'). Because we're talking a little more about Snapchat and Snap stories this week, I've been exploring the Snap map a little bit more and noticed that it's fairly interesting to play around with the map and view stories from other locations around the world. For instance, in the screenshots below, a big focus of today's domestic stories are cities celebrating the fourth of July. Internationally, you can check out videos and stories from the Milan Cathedral and the Pompeii Ruins. There are pros and cons to Snapchat, (especially in a classroom setting), but I think in a monitored environment with private accounts only accessible for a class, this international exploration could be a useful tool for interactive 'exhibits' on geography,
