Schedule for project #3

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 […]

3/2 Interrogate the Interface Example Essay

Today in class we viewed a very in-depth student example for our next project, interrogate the interface. Overall my group thought that the student work was a great example for us as we embark on our own projects, and gave us a few ideas to take our projects to the next level. Two things that […]

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 Timeglider as my tool to analyze for project 3. Why I chose it… I was drawn to Timeglider because as an Art History major timelines have been really important to my studies over the past 4 years. I can image using this tool mostly being used by students and […]

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) […]

2/23 Autocorrect & Autocomplete

Autocorrect and autocomplete are two tools that are meant to be extremely helpful, but can sometimes end up doing more damage then good. When it comes to my text messages, I appreciate that autocorrect catches my spelling errors. Texting is an informal medium for communicating so if a word is misspelled it’s not a huge […]

2/20 Using the Grace Period

I’m taking advantage of the Grace period to continue to update and perfect my website. I have added a lot of photos to the site in order to customize it and make it visually pleasing, and it has taken a lot of extra time (although well worth it.) I also needed to add a site information […]

No more Goran

What I did… Today I removed the theme I had originally chosen for my blog, Goran, and replaced it with Radcliffe. This change set me behind quite a bit, but ultimately I am much more for happy with the appearance and content of my blog in a new theme. Luckily, I can utilize the grace […]
