Final Product

After having to interact with the work on the Blog, Website, and Wiki , I feel that I know so much more about computer today than I did 3 months ago. The course was well worth it. I hope to start building my own Websites in the near future. The class has helped me to enhanced my organizational skills while working with files and has given me more confidence to interact with different interfaces. Writing For Electronic Media ROCKS!.............

It's almost over!!!

This has been one of my most challenging classes, I will admit. But it was also fun, relaxing and the complete opposite of all my other classes... and that is refreshing! But even though I am releived that its almost over, and i can finally stop feeling like a complete idiot for being lost in prof. Cripps class.. I am actually saddened that the semester is over... i have learned so many new things.. and my eyes are now open to the endless possibilities in the world of technology... its amazing how oblivious i have been all this time abouts websites and blogs and anything technologically oriented! but now i know... i guess knowlege is never wasted.. this has been a good experince..

The last week!

I am so excited that this is the last week of classes. As the weather gets warmer, it becomes torture sitting in class wishing I was at the beach sipping cocktails! As excited as I am that summer is just about here, I think this class was very informative. I learned a lot more about the web (ex-blogging) than I had previously known. I also learned some new tools, such as dreamweaver and photo shop. Professor Cripps was also awesome, often dealing with many unprepared students, he continued to successfully get through each days' exercise. That said, SUMMER HERE WE COME!

The End is Near

The end is near and even though I want to be happy, I have to admit that I am not. I am going to miss being in Cripps class often unprepared, afraid and feeling stupid. I learned something feeling stupid is a good thing. First it changed the relationship I have with my son. I know longer assume that he can do things that seem easy enough for me. I forgot that we are each given different gifts. My gift to the world is not technology. Okay, I will admit it, technology has been a gift to me. I did learn a few things. I now know what a wiki is. I have been introduced to the world of blogging and I appreciate all of the tedious work that goes into making a website. I also learned something very important. I learned how to find the answers. Their are people out in the world who really love this and to them I say bless you. I get to enjoy the benefits of your labor. The world is changing and you must adapt or you will be left to perish and cry with me!

A few days left to Showcase

All we have is a week to get everything in order and present our work. The blog, The Website, The wiki. WOW, We did really learned a lot in this class. It is true that it requires a lot of work and dedication, but at the end we can say that we really know how to make changes to a Webpage, and Blog on a topic of our interest. Relative criticism on our projects was a good part of the class, I really liked the feedback from all the classmates and the encouragement by Professor Cripps. Great Class

Comfortable Endings

As the semester comes to a close I find myself getting a lot more comfortable with the course wiki. It has come to my attention that with better understanding of the symbols and editing tools it is really simple to use. Unlike Dreamweaver, wiki is much more simplified. In addition, I'm currently working on my review on Live Journal which is blogging service and it seems it be extremely interesting and easy to use. Here is a link that leads you directly into the site:

Oooh the Horror

By now the general consensus is that I complain too much... But what can I say! It is quite frustrating trying to keep up with all this technology.. and I can assure you, I am definitely trying.. All these programes simply do not like me.. I have decided to take this all very personally.. On a more serious note, I find these classes to be informative and even exciting.. this is what today's world is all about.. TECHNOLOGY!! But the problem with this is, is that you need to put the hours into assignments if they are to be worthwhile... This is where I am at a disadvantage.. Not keeping up with the times and not being a proud owner of a Mac, regardless of putting in the time, I still feel as though I am behind.. I really wish someone would tell me if I should buy myself a Mac.. Looking back on this semester, its all a bad horror film...
