Personal website project...

Today I have the final draft of my website ready to submit. I must say I enojoyed working on this website as I have develpoed skills in areas I was not totally familiar with before, for example in dreamweaver. I learnt how to link phgotoshop and dreamweaver together to successfully construct a website that can run live. The website has a homepage, personal interests/about me page, films projects page and a photos page and includes a brief amount of content to make a basic site.

Virtual Gardening Presentation...

Today myself, Drew and Orlagh presented our ideas for the Gardening Fanatic assignment, by feeding back our thoughts on a new concept for garden fanatics. We met up on several occasions before the presentation and added parts to 2 seperate prezi's that we had made, whilst making notes on paper of our initial thoughts and ideas that we ended up imporving to come up with the Virtual Garden idea. Planning this presentation was challenging for us but once we linked each other's ideas together our prezi's began to flow, however I found the presentation itself quite difficult just being put on the spot even though we had thoroughly planned our work.

Identity Task...

The facebook for our fictional character is now live, along with a twitter and a Tumblr. 'Riley Scott' is our unique, fictional character and he is an unsigned rapper who represents a gangster type youngster, who thinks he is part of the 'Hood'. This task is proving to be a lot of fun! Links for the Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter are listed below.

Gardening fanatic task...

Today I completed a Prezi for an assignment where I have to come up with a gadget for gardening fanatics to use to. For this task I used a prezi to describe how myself, Drew and Orlagh have come up with the idea of a personal app for smartphones that allows users to create a virtual garden using a touch-screen system in museums across the world and scan barcodes of personal profiles of plants, to import that plant into their virtual garden! This was an unusual topic that I've not come across before but nevertheless completed a prezi to assist our presentation! The link is for the Prezi is located below.

Role of Reflection Prezi...

On 23rd December 2011 I created an online presentation using 'Prezi' to discuss the Role of Reflection in Learning and Creative Practice. This presentation was quite challenging and made me look in detail at theorists in this field and their particular views on reflection. I submitted this assignment online once I had finished it and got a good understanding of Prezi through completing it! The link for the Prezi can be found below.

Another Wiki...

On Tuesday 21st February 2012 we finished a Wiki based on the legalisation of drugs, with myself analysing the social networking marketing/distribution mechanism of the leggalisation of drugs. This Wiki proved to be slightly more tricky than the previous wiki's however with research and deep thought I managed to piece together a thread based on the social networking side of the topic. The link for the wiki is below!
