Presentations

The tool I might use after watching the presentations today, would be Trello. I’m slightly obsessed with making lists, so this site could provide me with a simple space to keep all of my lists organized without fruitlessly writing them down on paper only to have them get lost, or be started anew. I liked […]

No Agua

Checklist: After checking the checklist I made sure to embed my PowerPoint presentation into my blog site, and create a navigation option. The biggest thing left for me to do is to complete the web essay and address the four areas of analysis and work on breaking it up so it’s ‘digestible’ on an online […]

ThinkLink

Listening to the presentations, the tool I would most likely use was the ThinkLink tool. I thought the concept of embedding links into an image was a cool concept and allows images to serve a more dynamic function. I really liked Erica’s idea of making an image of a city have links to the buildings as a […]

Peer Review

What I Heard: My peer reviewer (Emily) was awesome because she gave me great advice and encouragement to finish my project off strong. She really liked how the theme of my powerpoint had pushpins in it, which coincides with the functionality of the web interface that I am interrogating. Emily also said that the way […]

What’s Poppin’ on the Project

What I did: I started outline my affordances and constraints pages, as well as took screen shots that can be used with the content of my project. I also created the template for my presentation and started loosely make slides. Why I did it: I am in the “overthink the project” phase so to beat […]

Pearltrees

What I did: The first thing I did was created a Pearltrees account and got to understand the interface and the functionality of the site. As well, in preparation for the essay that accompanies this project, I created sub tabs under my “Interrogate the Interface” menu tab. Why I did it: Pearltress is the interface […]

Project Schedule

The plan: March 5: Login/Create account for PearlTrees and start poking around on the site. Post WordPress blog about what I did and why I did it, accompanied with an awesome selfie. March 11: Outline essay and start taking screenshots of the site. This step may include filling in the Writer/Designer Questions worksheet. March 16: Draft […]

Interrogating Project 3 Examples

What I will apply: My group analyzed the PowToon presentation website interrogation. I found that I really liked how the author broke up her sections into subheadings under in the menu bar under the “Interrogate the Interface” tab. She had a lot of content and this helped break it up into sections that made reading […]

Project 3

What I chose: I chose to interrogate Pearltrees website. Its function is to act as a pin board almost for users and allows people to post anything from pictures to full documents of text. Why I chose it: The concept of Pealtrees allowing users to thematically place there content in one location seemed like a […]
