Like Alec said, and like Aidan just mentioned, I’m really glad that everybody else is finding some difficulties with their projects. I get that that phrasing does not sound entirely kind, but as I’ve been having difficulties getting my script to be exactly as I want it it makes me feel just a bit better to see others struggling in the same, or really even in different, ways. We can do this.

I congratulate those members of our class who are using and exploring new, complex computer programs to create an intricately designed project (shout out to Wilson) as I am just using wordpress in its usual manner. I say usual manner because I was also just as impressed with Eleanor’s modern utilization of the tool. I would have liked to have become fully adroit in an interesting online application such as Neatline, but I am a bit like Kurt in that regard – I’d rather just stick with what I know and know that I will be able to use it. So, I will continue with wordpress and perhaps, iMovie.

I really enjoyed the presentations of Sherwood, Avery, and Alec and the mapping that they’ve accomplished so far. I liked the ability of Sherwood’s railroad map to update through the years and it reminded me a bit of the post office map we looked at earlier this semester. I found the usability of it to be quite good and the functionality something that can be incorporated into my own and others’ projects.

Overall, I (once again) agree with Aidan in that our class has an excellent set of projects and the diversity in topic and medium is something that I found fascinatingly wonderful and that I’m sure, when it comes time to grading, Dr. Shrout will enjoy as well. I was extremely impressed with the work of our class and wish everybody luck in the completion and polishing of their projects.
