Of today’s presentations, I would probably be interested in using Kim’s tool, Thematic. The other tools were concerned with mind maps, or time lines, and I couldn’t figure out a time where I would need to incorporate these to my projects. With Kim’s tool, however, I could use it for my personal enjoyment, (like Instagram). Thematic involves up to 20 photos, and puts them together in order to make a story. As I love to take photos, I feel like this would be a neat idea, similar to creating an album, if I wanted to send an array of images to family or those not associated with Facebook. Instagram has a constraint of being one image used at a time, when Thematic allows 20 images together. Because I never use the video option on Instagram, I don’t view the lack of videos on this tool as a constraint.

With regards to the TimeGlider tool, I did not find it visually appealing at all. If I were to use something to create a timeline, I would want to be able to see the dates associated with it, and in a horizontal fashion. In the TimeGlider tool, the facts came up vertically, and seemed messy throughout. Unfortunately, after hearing the presentation, I felt reassured in my opinion because Grace agreed with it.
