Monday 5/02/11

Well another night in the books as they say. Time really flew by tonight. We worked in our groups, collaborating on information, presentations, tools to use for, and individual responsibilities. Shana had a great idea about extending the IT History project back a week to give us more time to pull together. Having had 2 weeks off in a row, the class felt a little overwhelmed and that everyone agreed.

Looking at some WEB2.0 tools for timelines and story-boarding, we came across a cool site called CACOO. Colleen tried it and found it very easy to use and work on. It's collaborative friendly so our group can help add or edit material. The end results are pretty impressive as well, very professional looking and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

We also talked about our Tool Time Presentation. It was brought to our attention that this "Tool" doesn't have to be a WEB2.0 Tool, but then again as cool as they are, why wouldn't you?  :-)

  2. I am going to play with Cacoo this week. I was so darn sick on Sunday and Monday. I didn't even have the energy to email! Thanks you guys for letting me know what is going one. I too am feeling very overwhelmed by the amount of things to be done in the time period. Starndarized testing, protoring, finals preparation, plus everything that has to get done and a freeze on points as well by the 16th. Just don't know how it is going to get done.

  3. I agree with Shana, Andy -- Cacoo looks like a user-friendly cool site for mapping! Another Web 2.0 tool to check out!

  4. Is that a floppy disk in your picture?! I remember those! I used to use those in my GW-Basic computer programming class in high school. The files always seemed to get corrupted.
