I really enjoyed learning about the different interfaces during class today, but I think the one I see myself using the most would definitely be Pearltrees. As a writer, I have been published many times online but on different websites. I’m interested in creating a Pearltree as an aggregate site to collect all my published […]

Peer Review Day!
by • • Comments Off on Peer Review Day!
What I heard today: Caroline gave me a lot of really good feedback during peer review today. I pretty much had most of my pages outlined, but she encouraged me to make each of my pages a little less text heavy and add more pictures to illustrate what I was trying to say rather than […]
What I did today!
by • • Comments Off on What I did today!
What I did: Today in class I continued to brainstorm for project 3. I compiled a list of some of the affordances and constraints for my interface and then began working on the writer/designer analysis questions. I realized that I need to start putting more time outside of class into working on this project, so […]
A tragic day….
by • • Comments Off on A tragic day….
Well, today was a tragic day. During class, I attempted to do more work on Heganoo for project 3. I was beyond frustrated with the site, and could have probably done an entire presentation with its flaws, but the site blocked me from doing anything else on it without signing up and paying for premium […]
Friday web-commute day!
by • • Comments Off on Friday web-commute day!
Instead of going to class the Friday before Spring Break, I spent part of my Thursday night before hand working on project three. The first thing I did was go to Heganoo to make an account, which took literally 30 seconds. Once I made an account, I was kind of surprised that the site wasn’t more […]
Planning for Project 3
by • • Comments Off on Planning for Project 3
I am a very organized and detailed person, so having time to plan out my schedule for project three is extremely helpful. I’m going to work backwards so that I know when the end date is, and then think of all the things I’ll have to do by certain dates to be able to present […]
Interrogating someone else’s interrogated interface
by • • Comments Off on Interrogating someone else’s interrogated interface
Today in class, I examined someone’s project on the website, PowToon. I actually did learn a lot about this person’s interface because the student was extremely thorough in her explanation of her interface. I noticed that she detailed pretty much each mode of communication that could have applied to her interface in her explanation, and […]
Heganoo!
by • • Comments Off on Heganoo!
For project three, Interrogate the Interface, I chose to analyze a site called “Heganoo.” I had never heard of the site before, and admittedly just kind of clicked on it last class because I thought it had a fun-sounding name. After exploring the site for a few minutes, I thought it was a really interesting […]
Darn you, autocorrect!!
by • • Comments Off on Darn you, autocorrect!!
Autocorrect has gotten me into awkward situations many times. I feel like with texting, my fingers almost work faster than my brain, and sometimes I’ll see an error but my fingers are already going to hit send and I can’t stop them!! The most awkward autocorrect incident I can think of was a time me […]
Personalizing my page
by • • Comments Off on Personalizing my page
What I did today: Today in class, I added a contact form to my page and added a contact option on my menu. I also edited my colophon and moved some of the information that was on my about page to the colophon. I then personalized my about page to be more about myself, rather […]
