3/27/15 Today’s presentations were so great and informative. I really liked the Text 2 Mind Map as I thought it was thought out and organized. I could really see myself using this for class work and appreciated the easy use. The thing I was looking for in a mind map was it to be organized […]

3/23/2015 Listening to the Integrate and Interface projects today was really fun as I got to hear new ideas and tools. The project I thought was the most interesting to me was Digital Volts.

3/20/2015 Today Kat and I peer reviewed what we had done for our projects thus far. I had mainly focused on the essay and gave Kat that to critique. Together we read it and discussed what I thought was wrong: some parts were too informal and we talked about a better way to go about […]

Auto Correct: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
by • • Comments Off on Auto Correct: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
We’ve all had instances where autocorrect or autocomplete has made our lives more difficult. When we promised we knew how to spell that word, Microsoft was rooting against us. In high school I ran four years of Cross Country. Every summer through December Cross Country was where I was, what I was doing, and who I […]

What I Did? Today I gave my site a makeover! When choosing the visual aspect my goal was to make a clean site that was nice to look at but not too overwhelming. I looked into putting widgets as an added affect but decided that for the purposes of this blog they weren’t exactly necessary. […]
