Question # 1

Discuss three of the websites of your colleagues and write comments in response to their blogs (in their blog). Identify the three Blogs where you are making comments.

I was moved to comment on the following 3 websites: Aurora, Yan, and Gregory's. These comments are posted on there blogs.

1. Aurora - I learned a lot from your page. Your page was uncluttered, cogent and easily navigated. Your choice of color and overall design aesthetic was spot on. The overall organization of your page inspired me to continue improving my page until I felt I had equaled your standards. Specifically, I enjoyed the photo of your pug on your image page, the different manipulations of that photo made via photoshop, and your animation. Your assignment task descriptions were precise and instructive. Moreover, I appreciated your comments on my page. Respect.

 

2. Yan - I love the violin photo on your homepage and the lilac background color of all your pages compliments all the imagery you posted. I was impressed by your use of tables on the homepage and the tech assignment page. Specifically, the tech page because you chose to use imagery for each category and even made an animation for the animation box. I loved the homage to the Statue of Liberty on your images page, the variety of manipulations, and the animation that you created from it. Your Literacy and Arts Page was pithy. Your Powerpoint on Literacy and Music was very impressive and the introductory quote by Jewel made me nostalgic for the 90's. I enjoyed working with you on Team Green and very much liked your presentation on YouTube.

 

Gregory - Thank you for reminding how Harlem Renaissance has shaped not only New York City but also the world at large. The Neon Sign of the Cotton Club immediately drew me into your site and I wanted to know more. I like the fact that you used a table to organize the pages on your tech assignment page. I appreciated the progression of your manipulations on the images page. You demonstrate your command of HTML on your Literacy in Music Education page by creating a left margin and using 3 colors. Thank you for your kind words about my page.
