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.
