Today was the second day of class presentations and I was able (despite many computer difficulties throughout the process) to present on the interface I interrogated, Popplet. I really enjoyed listening to everyone else’s presentations, though I must admit that it was hard to pay attention really well during the first few because I knew […]

Today was the first day of presentations for Project 3, Interrogating an Interface. While I enjoyed listening to everyone’s presentations and learning about all of the different interfaces, I found Caroline’s interface, PearlTrees to have the most potential to be useful and effective. It’s funny because PearlTrees was my number one choice interface to interrogate […]

Today in class, my group evaluated the example web essay “Haiku Deck.” After looking at this student’s interrogation of the Haiku Deck interface, I was able to take away some key items that are important to keep in mind when interrogating/analyzing an interface and presenting it on a blog. One thing that is important that […]

What I Chose For Project 3, Interrogating an Interface, I chose the interface Popplet.

However, upon further looking at Popplet, it seems like a really cool application to […]
