  Guest Speakers     This week in class we discussed a really cool topic known as VR and AR.  Luckily we had two really amazing guest speakers that were able to help us understand how these realities work.  Our first guest speaker was Jamie Donally .

App Smackdown #2     For the second app smackdown, I chose the app called Neighbors .  Neighbors is a platform that is associated with the famous security doorbell known as Ring.  Once you have you Ring doorbell installed or any other Ring devices, you can connect to the Neighbors app and it allows you to connect with your neighborhood.  You put in your location of where you live and it allows you to see post from other people in your town.  The app allows you to post recordings from your Ring devices and share them to your neighborhood to keep everyone safe.  Most of the posts are about suspicious people, hit and runs, and even lost dogs.  When I came across this app I thought it was one of the best ways to connect with your neighborhood as well as keeping everyone safe.   Light Bright and Polite     In chapter 3 of "Light Bright and Polite" , the author talks about how important messaging is for social media marketing.  ...
