The Website, Animoto, and Finishing the Digital Diagram

This week was full of just chugging away on assignments.  I corrected my flip chart, worked on and completed my digital diagram, created my Animoto artifact, and designed my website.  Plowing ahead on the assignments was a lot of work, but I expect (and already do) see the fruits of my labor.

As previously stated, I completed my digital diagram!  I like the way this project turned out.  I think the format of this project bodes well for learning multiple facts about a topic.  The diagramming allows the topic to go in multiple directions.  For example, my topic was 3-Dimensional Figures.  The figures pyramids and spheres are similar only in the amount of dimensions they have.  The diagram encourages that, though.  The diagram branches out and shows how versatile a topic is.

Here is a screenshot of my completed diagram.

I was also able to do an Animoto artifact. Though it is just an extension of photo slideshows, I thought the project was different enough and useful enough to warrant an artifact.  I like how the pictures don't just fade into other pictures.  The movement between pictures was a great buffer between each image.  I also really liked the music aspect.  I was able to throw in some flavor to the "slideshow" by adding some guitar and fiddle music.  That song made the Animoto much more upbeat.

The website is a work in progress.  And I am liking that progress.  You can visit my site and see for yourself by clicking here.

A much needed break is coming up with Thanksgiving.  I will most certainly be thankful for a couple days to myself and the long overdue family time.  They are wonderful and I miss them so.

Blessed to have them. Very Blessed.
