I was able to finish and turn in a draft for my contract today. I spent quite a long time trying to decide which activities I was going to do. I am sure that I will be making a few changes as I move along in the class. I really like some of the drafts that I have seen so far, and I said to myself, "why I didn't think of that". However, atleast I was able to complete the assignment and present it on time, which is a good thing.
Today's class was short, but I would say that extremely informative. I was very concern with the IT History Exhibit and the amount of work that it is required for this exercise. However, after listening to Dr. Ackerman explanations, and especially, after reading the objective of this project, I kind of have my "aha" moment of the night. The objective is very clear and it makes everything flow smoothly. I guess we just have to do some good and extensive research and then utilize web 2.0 tools to develop a good presentation. I am positive that each of us in the class would be able to create an outstanding job.
It was also good to talk about the International Visual Literacy Association Conference (IVLA) that will take place at the Seaview Hotel on September 28th and the possibilities to be able to attend.
By the way, today was the 40th anniversary of The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey and there was great celebration for its 40 Years of Excellence. Our Professor, Dr. Amy Ackerman, gave us the opportunity to be able to attend this event, and we truly appreciate it. We didn't get to participate of the entire program, but atleast we got the chance to listen to the last speeches from the College's President, Dr. Herman Saatkamp, and the Chief Development Officer, Dr. Phillip Ellmore. At the end, everybody enjoyed of great food, desserts, and drinks.
Well, I guess I should be starting do to some research and come up with some good ideas for my IT History Project. Until next time....
Dear Johana,
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog entry for this week. I agree, Dr. Ackerman's explanations were very informative & gave us all a solid idea of what is expected of us throughout this course. See you next class.

Dear Johanna,

Overall I think that when you listen to the overview of the syllabus in class it is way less scary then when you first view it. There is a lot of work but you really do walk away with so many more tools to use. I think what I like the best is that everything I have learned so far in the program has been relevant to my everyday work.
