Yesterday, we had an online work day because we did not have class due to maintenance in Shanks. Instead of working in class, I spent some time continuing to work on my web essay and presentation, which I will give on Friday.

Checklist Observations/What I Did:

Upon looking at the web essay checklist, I observed that I needed to add more and further develop my web essay, as well as finalize my presentation.

I finalized my list of affordances and constraints that I am using in my presentation and I also added more screenshots to my slides. In addition, I thought about the modes of communication that Popplet uses and added those to my presentation.

I still have some work left to do on my web essay, so I will be spending some time this weekend adding some information and completing that so the final version is on my blog site.

Why I Did It:

I added more to my presentation by completing my list of affordances and constraints, adding the modes of communication, and implementing more screenshots so that I will be ready to present Friday morning. I also elaborated on some items for the web essay that I hadn’t thought about yet, such as the alignment, proximity, and contrast so that my analysis could be as thorough as possible.

I am nervous and a little excited to present Popplet to the rest of the class so everyone else can learn about the tool!
