Work Day, 3/18

What I Did 

Today in class I had computer issues yet again, so I was not able to be as productive as I had hoped or wanted. Towards the end of class I was able to get a classroom computer to work for me, so I worked a little bit on my project in the little bit of class time that was left.

I logged onto Popplet and went to my popplets to continue working on the demo I had started; however, I found that my popplet was not there anymore. I was rather frustrated with that because I had spent quite a bit of time working on the demo popplet I had started. I chose to use the rest of the time I had left to begin my web essay so I could be somewhat prepared for peer review Friday, despite all of the computer and Popplet issues I have been experiencing this week.

Why I Did It

Upon discovering that the demo popplet I had created and been working on had been erased, I was frustrated and confused. I added that to my list of constraints about the interface. I never saw an option to save my popplet so I just thought that it had been saving automatically. I had logged out and then back in another time and the popplet was still there, so why it was not there this time was just beyond me.

I started working on my web essay, though I am still not very far on it due to the computer issues I have been having. I am glad I have taken some screenshots that I can refer back to in my essay.
