I spent my 50 minutes of independent work getting familiar with Meograph. I read through all of the information that the website contained and started trying to develop my own mix in order to really understand how the tool worked.

Also, playing around with creating my own mixes is important because I am actually enabling myself to analyze the tool from an actual user’s perspective.
