Completely Overhauling my Webliographer

I have spent both yesterday (4/27) and today (4/28) reworking on my webliographer. I found the best way that I could do that was to create a brand new webliographer. So, that being said, that is what I did. My new webliographer, titled Epilepsy: The Info, was alot of work. I not only went back through the sites from the webliographer that I had already created, but I also found new sites to add on to it. I am not done with the finished product, but I am closer than I was yesterday.

No $ for Big Finale

Sorry, for the last post I was going to post a surprise & link you to my Box.net file, where you could see my DVD that I have talked about on my Blogger site all semester long, however I would have to upgrade & I am not going to pay the money to do that. I did present it and Dr. Counts gave me an outstanding review.

Review of Final Topics

Ok, so I was wrong on my last post. It was not my LAST POST. I reviewed all of my work on my Webliographer and made adjustments yesterday. I added several links, with new topics, new subtopics, and a tremendous amount of new information. There was information out there that even I did not know about. Some things that I made a note to myself about to take with me when I go back for my annual visit in NY City in one month. So, this has been more than an assignment/ learning experience for me, it has helped me, possibly health wise also.

I had also hoped to be able to play the video that I have mentioned creating while writing on this blog, however, the video itself is over 4 minutes long so I cannot do that.
I said this on the last post, however I can now say it with the utmost of confidence that (unless Jay gives us an assignment in class tomorrow) this will be my last post to this 'BIG-BIG-BLOGGER' website, which is a part of my final grade.

Using Google

I have used Google today to update and (maybe?) finalize my "Epilepsy Webliographer. I was able to find many more topics that I had not found before, as well as update several of the topics that I had already created. I am also going to post a link to my class project that I have been discussing while creating this BIG-BIG-BLOGGER to the final version of my production for IT 569 DVD video that I created from still images. I am going to wait until after this Tuesday night until I do that, though, because I have ran into problems with so many DVD's along the way of making the final "cut." I do not want anything to happen to it. I know that it is a simple process & I know how to do it, I just want reassurance of my grade for the other course first.

Reference Pages

I used Google today, in order to look up the correct way to set up a Reference page for that big paper that I have written about for CREV 580. I typed in "Reference pages" and selected the third selection from the top, Resume and Reference Page Samples, and this link was very helpful. Now, I am finally finished with that paper. Hallelujah!

IT 569 Presentation

Today I used Google to aid in my search for my presentation in IT 569. I am almost finished with that presentation, I am working with videos and still photographs. I have also used I-Photos as well. The application I-Photo software is a very good tool that can be used for numerous projects. The ability to edit clips and photos, as well as make videos by transferring them to I-Video is great. That is going to be the next step that I am going to use for that project, make an I-Video.

Democracy

For part of my final project in my IT 569 class I am creating a video. As a part of this video I have used Open Office Software that I downloaded to my computer. The software that I found was owned by Democracy. After downloading and installing the software to my computer I used the software and tried out what it was that I wanted to use, however I was not please with the results. So, I unistalled the software from my computer and decided to use I-Movie instead. However, if you want to try out the software, you may be able to get something useful out of it, so again, here is the website.

Moving Data

Today I used Google Docs to create the document that we had for homework for "Moving Data." Afterwards, I had to save the document in ".txt" format, which was not a problem. This was the first time that I had done this using Google Docs. I did not know if there would be any difference or not, from Microsoft Word. I then, published this document on the web by posting a link to my Blogger website. So, I have used this site a couple of times today. Very busy day.

Google for Webliographer

I spent yesterday and today using Google to work more on finishing my Webliographer for my final project for class. By using Google's search engine I was able to find everything that I needed to find to complete my final project. I believe that it is shaping up very nicely. The Webliographer is only one piece of my final project, but I have found it very useful and believe that I will use it in the future in other classes. For example, whenever I am working on a research paper, I believe that a Webliographer is a good tool to use to help put the paper together.
