I met with a student the other day who said to me “I didn’t finish my Powerpoint presentations because I was SO confused!” He went on to explain that in one class they are working on creating presentations in Powerpoint using more of a Presentation Zen style-minimal words, powerful visual imagery, etc. But then in [...]
Part of this course involves us creating a final project…and to this end we were asked to create a project sketch on our blog prior to completing the project on the class wiki. As per typical Daneah fashion, I went about it all backwards and did the project first and now am feeling like an [...]
Something has stuck with me for the last few weeks and I feel the need to vent it out…maybe that’s what a blog is for!??!
