Checklist Observations: Class wasn’t held due to Shanks (building where our class meets) not having running water for the day. I finished my web essay and presentation, so I didn’t think I had anything to work on, but realized that I hadn’t referred to the screen shots that I put in throughout the essay. I […]

first day of presentations
by • • Comments Off on first day of presentations
Today I presented my tool/application as well as heard from 6 other students in the class. I thought that many of the tools were interesting, and if put in the situation that seemed applicable, I would use any of them. Specifically, I liked Anna D’s Audiopal tool, because I have a blog of my own […]

What I was told? Molly gave me positive feedback, and reminded me of the 5 words per page of the presentation. She suggested that I take some text off, and just include screen shots that I could explain orally. She read through a bit of my essay (what had been written so far) and reminded […]

What I did? Today, I signed up for my presentation slot, at 10:55 on Monday. I then continued working on my web essay, and taking important screen shots as I scrolled through the site. Why I did it? I realized that if I put the presentation off to the last day, I would procrastinate and […]
drafting the web essay

What I did? Today I began drafting the web essay, by collaborating the analysis questions. I wrote the essay on a Microsoft word document, in paragraph form and then will transfer it onto my wordpress site, after I figure out what sort of navigational techniques I will use. Why I did it? I realized I […]

What I did? Over Spring Break, I browsed through the tool, created a log-in and designed a few of my own images as examples, in order to understand the tool as a whole. I screen shotted many of my actions, in order to use those in my future presentation. After I played around for a […]

By March 20th, I must have a draft of my presentation. I hope to have the outline of my web essay done by the end of this weekend (March 8th). That will require me to create a login for the tool itself, and then research what it actually does to my specific images. I will […]
Analyzing previous projects

Today we looked at someone’s online essay regarding the tool, “Video Star.” Her layout was extremely well done, with coordinating colors, website tabs and a bunch of screen shots to describe her utilization of the tool itself. I would like to incorporate screen shots as well as I find this more helpful than just words. […]

What I chose? Today I chose to tackle the “ThingLink” tool. Why I chose it? I had comprised a list of 5 potential project tools and then decided to spontaneously go with one of them. As I had done the research Wednesday, I forgot the specifics about each of the tools but knew that I […]
Autocorrect Stories

I have had many experiences with auto correct, not only with my use of it but someone else typing it to me as well. My advisor at Tech’s name is Dr. Evia, and when I type this on g-mail, it automatically corrects to “Dr. Evil”. Fortunately, I always read over my e-mails (especially professional ones) […]
