Week 15 and the Website Comments!

Well, the end is finally here. I have really enjoyed this class and all that it has taught me this semester. It was not hard at all making the comment boxes and sharing it with others. Everything came through. I have already commented on other web pages, and I found many great web pages on some very educational subjects like obesity, HPV, and how to count currency designed for elementary students. The setup was awesome and everything on it went together on the website. I also received some very positive feedback on my website. The majority voice would like me to make navigation better on my web quest activity, and I shall explore the ideas and make it more user-friendly. This has been a very fun class and have enjoyed being in it.
Thanks!

Week 14!

Well, I really did not do anything this week concerning this class. I did not have to do the portfolio caption because I am not in the program that it was required in. The feedback that I got back was very encouraging, and I will have the errors corrected by the final project post. My Thanksgiving break was much needed, and I really enjoyed being with my family because I do not get to see them that much anymore. Life is very short, and it is important to share many moments with family. I cannot wait to see every one's final website this week.

Week 13!

Hello again, this week was another busy one because I have had to do several evaluations of my front desk workers and issues in the building. However, I do expect this to occur in a building of 513 residents. As my classwork goes, I wrapped up my curriculum with my group partner Johan Lesaine for our LEAD 7650 class. It turned out very well. The assignment for this class was not difficult at all and only took about 15 minutes at the most to complete. I took the bookmarks page and split into 3 categories, which were community service projects, leadership activities, and organizations & conferences. The 3 topics are on the navigation bar and ready to go. There are only three weeks left, and the finish will be here. It has been fun thus far this semester.

Week 12!

I finally finished the web activity, and it changed several times before I decided on what exactly to do it on. I came to the conclusion to focus on becoming a member of NRHH and serving on a recognition and service committee. The task is to recruit members, research community service projects, and recognize those that are active by submitting an OTM. I linked an OTM electronic form to the site for the audience to participate in by following the process. Since my bookmark sources were labeled and appropriate to my web activity, I just used it as my resources. The evaluation that I used was a rubric of zero to three and was based how many members were recruited, projects researched, and OTM's submitted. I believe that my web activity is an effective tool for future NRHH members to use, and it was fun working on it.
The end is almost here, and I say bring it on.

Week 11!

Well, this week has been the longest and most tiring week that I have had in a long time. It seems like I just turned around and noticed that everything has creeped up on me from all directions. This problem - solving activity is coming slower than I had originally planned and now am working double time. I have narrowed down the topic to how to get involved on campus. Of course, I choice to do WebQuest because it is narrowed down and to the point. It has all the information provided and is more useful for the person completing the activity to have. This is a lot to complete, and I only hope that I can get this done in an efficient manner. The crunch is here. We will see how much I have come next week.

Week 10!

Well, this is the tenth week of the semester and that means only five more until the very end. This week was one that I had to reprogram myself to focus on class work because of the week off last week. I loved the fair use laws and what is permitted and not permitted. Some of the issues of fair use are easy to violate. Many of us are in violation of some copyright laws and do not even know it. That is why it is important to stay in the current to know of such laws and regulations. The scenarios were interesting to complete because of the time that I had to think about it. I actually used some scenarios from my real life experiences. For example, the one about the campus movie channel was really about me to some extent. I operate the one for Valdosta State University. The college is under contract with Swank Motion Picture Company on how many and what kind of movies to show each month. However, I have never shown other movies that were not in the contract. Technology is really a challenging component to regulate because it changes so much. The copyrights laws are always behind the technology. This next week I am going to focus more on the web activity because it is coming up very fast. I have not researched enough to make my final decision about what I am going to do with it.

Week 9!

Well, this week was a much needed week off from assignments. I needed to get caught up in my job and other classes. However, I been thinking about my web activity for information problem solving. I really have not figured it out but will maybe do something about how to submit an OTM or how to find and join an organization. The number one choice is to come up with a process to build a community among your peers. I believe that is the best route and may be the best most effective choice. Of course, I am going to complete the fair use quiz this coming week and think more about my project. It is time to buckle up because the semester is now speeding.
