Week 5

A lot has been covered this past week. We crammed Google Sites, GooWiki, and learning how to choose research topics all in one week. In Google Sites, I decided to add a couple horizontal rules to my site using the html code, and it turned out pretty good-looking. Incorporating the GooWiki activity with the Google Sites was a good idea, and made it feel like the Google Sites was an easier, smaller activity. I didn't know about Google Sites before this class, and it is super easy to use. The GooWiki exercise I've actually done before from taking this class before, so it was really just a refresher. I had forgotten about the "standing on the shoulders of giants" quote, so it was nice to re-learn about that. I had missed class on Tuesday, so I missed whatever the cute cat links thing was. Also, it was a little difficult to keep up with all the things that were supposed to be done outside of class. For example, I didn't even realize that we had quizzes to do this week until it was too late. Plus, last Thursday when Ramon was going over how to do the infolit tutorial and how to submit it, I felt like it went way too fast, so when it actually came time for me to do it, I wasn't really sure what to do. Thank goodness for the instructional video on how to submit the tutorial!!! Regarding the research topic assignment, my team decided to just use the topic that we already had decided to use. I didn't realize before that the way I had phrased it, it was too general and broad. I was thinking about it specifically in my mind, but it didn't come out that way in the question. We have since narrowed it down a bit, and I'm looking forward to my teammates' feedback on the narrowed down version.
