presentation day #3

Of today’s presentations, I would probably be interested in using Kim’s tool, Thematic. The other tools were concerned with mind maps, or time lines, and I couldn’t figure out a time where I would need to incorporate these to my projects. With Kim’s tool, however, I could use it for my personal enjoyment, (like Instagram). […]

The program that I like the most was Thematic. I think its interesting how there’s a tool that lets you make your pictures a story. After all, that is the point of pictures in the first place. I also like how you can caption each photo, even though it is limited in color and typeface. […]

presentation day #2

Today we listened to multiple presentations, and I thought I could see myself using any of the tools. I really enjoyed “Trello”, the tool that Natalie presented. Because I’m so concerned about organization on my own, I think it would be neat to be able to drag and “accomplish” certain goals, rather than erase and […]

online class, due to water issues

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 […]

Checklist Observations In going through the checklist, I found out that I was sitting in pretty good shape. The only things missing from my project that was on the checklist are the navigation options on each page, and the constraints page. Today I completed the constraints page with screenshots included. All that is left is […]

The site that I would probably be most likely to use is Video Note. This site seems like a great idea for online classes. If a teacher would publish their video lecture to youtube, then you can easily take notes on it. A lot of times its hard to listen and write/type and remember where […]

3/23 Presentations

Today we looked at 7 different applications that were interrogated by the students of Writing and Digital Media. I did not see any particular application jump out at me and that I will be downloading soon, but I did find one that I was extremely intrigued by. This application was X-ray Goggles. If I were […]

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 […]

peer review of presentation

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 […]

3/20 Peer Review Activity

What I heard in Peer Review Nadia peer reviewed my project. The most constructive thing she told me regarding my power point presentation was that the words I was using (under 5) were not significant enough to include on the slides. I realized I was just trying to use five words per slide, even when […]
