My Glog Poster

I wanted to introduce you to my glog poster. I created this as my final personal project. I taught myself how to create this poster concerning one of the principles of design that I will teach in my Interior Design class.

Glogster

my Glog

Here is a preview to my gloster project that I have been working on. This is my personal project and is to be an example of a project I would ask my students to do.

Storyboard

I wanted to attach a copy of my storyboard that I put together to help me get ready to create this movie. It helped me to organize my ideas and put something together that made sense and would turn out.

My Video

This video is the one I made for the Multimedia assignment. I made this movie as an example of a project that I could assign to my students. It is a simple explanation of one of the basic elements of design. Without the use of technology I would not have been able to show the images that are examples of what I am teaching. It is not possible for me to bring my students into these different design environments, but I tried to bring the outside to them.

My Class Website

Well it is now the fourth week of class and I believe I have finally created my first and very own website. It was a challenge but I am happy to say that I think I accomplished the task and I think it looks good. My website is called Interior Design Spring 2010, yes very original but it is what I would really call it if I were really teaching. I learned a lot from this experience and realized that I am capable of creating something online and that I can create a website for my future classes.

Stay Safe!

I had an interesting experience this past weekend learning about Internet safety and then being required to teacher someone else how to be safe. I have always thought I was careful about the kind of information I gave out on websites like Facebook and e-mail and I still feel I am doing ok, but as I researched being safe online I found many ideas on how to improve and things to watch out for as I serf the web. Specifically I found that it doesn't always mean being careful about giving out personal information, it is about giving specifics that someone could use as answers to security questions. As I taught the ideas I had learned it brought to my attention other ideas and highlighted new things to be cautious of as I search the internet. The person I was teaching felt certain things were important that I hadn't thought of but once they pointed them out I found they were important for me to look for and for me to teacher my future children and students. We talked particularly about day to day things people can to do to stay safe like use reliable search engines, take advantage of bookmarking tools, check the activity of internet usage, be careful of free software downloaded from the internet, use filters, and a number of other ways to stay protected. This was a great activity for me and I have already started noticing what I do on the internet and what kind of information I am giving out. So to everyone else, stay safe and be careful what you say.
