Two Skills Power Searching with Google Has Taught Me Blog Post #2

                      One very important skill that I learned from class one of Power Searching with Google is the ability to filter images by color.  This is a very helpful skill to know because it really comes in handy especially when looking for archival images, which is what I am using it for. Another great skill that I learned from Power Searching with Google is in class two when they taught us the control f trick to find a specific word on a webpage.  This makes searching much faster and way easier.  I have been using it for finding sources for things. 

                     A useful skill that I learned from class two of Power Searching with Google is the dictionary tool that Google provides.  This skill is very helpful for when I do not know the meaning of a certain word.  I use it when I need to find definitions for English class.  The second skill that I learned from class two is the ability to refine searches by using different types of media.  I use this when I search for a thing that requires you to find a specific type of media.

Cosplaying Blog Post #1

          
              Cosplay is a performance art where participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a certain character or idea. It is short for "costume play". Most cosplays center around characters in  manga, anime, comic books, video games, and films. A lot of cosplayers make their own costumes, which is a very impressive skill, at least in my opinion.  I got into cosplay this past fall because of my friends and I'm so glad I did. I  have cosplayed many times.  Some of my cosplays include, Kanaya Maryam, Kankri Vantas, and Terezi Pyrope from Homestuck (a web-comic), Amy Pond from Doctor Who, and Abaddon from the TV show Supernatural.  Cosplaying has given me a variety of experiences and friends, and for that I am overjoyed. It has also allowed me to break out of my comfort zone. I am very excited for the Anime Boston convention in March because I am eager to show off some of my new cosplays.
