First of, I entered the Technology twilight zone. I couldn't get my SIUE login to work on the campus computers. I used my laptop instead, but couldn't FTP anything from SIUE. I decided to come home and work on my website, but couldn't get things to work the way that I wanted. I did manage to finish the assignment for class...at 11:45 pm. I have all six pages done. I did add some complex html on the last six. I need to check the rubric to see if I did everything correctly. I am not real clear on the two websites and their due dates. I guess I will wait and see how that goes. I am sure that we will get the direction we need, when we need it. For now, I still need to work on learning new things. So far, so good. I am enjoying the class...just can't have another night of technology hell!!!

3.Students will discuss the assigned class readings and indicate how the articles have impacted their web development.

I need to read the articles for next week. I look forward to discussing them.

Week of February 4

1. Journal contains bulleted list of “To Do” items for the week including an order of priority (i.e. which items will be completed first, second, etc.)

• This week I plan to spend some time figuring out all of the nuances of Dreamweaver.
• I want to make the templates for my instructional website.
• I still plan on using .pdf files that I have created from my SmartBoard "Smart Notebook".
• I need to explore using frames and flash menus.
• keep my blog up-to-date.

2. Journal contains students’ thoughts, concerns, or struggles as he/she works to complete the work indicated. Journal also indicates a plan to resolve conflict or possible solutions to problems. If class readings are assigned for the week:

I am glad that I have completed the first project. I exceeded all of the rubrics expectations. I still feel like I could do more to make my website more usuable and/or entertaining. I feel like I still need to push myself to learn all that I can prior to attempting my instructional site.


3.Students will discuss the assigned class readings and indicate how the articles have impacted their web development.

At this point, I am not aware of any class readings or articles. I do try to read several magazines to find out all of the new topics or trends in technology.
