Why The Delay...

Okay so I have been in this class since January however in terms of preparing for my final presentation I have experienced some unfortunent delays... and failures.

I started with a facebook profile page however I found my efforts fell flat. There just was not enough functions and I felt so limited in terms of what I was hoping to do. I also was constantly frusterated by how user "un"friendly facebook became the more advanced I became and the more I attempted to push the limits and go beyond basic functionality.

I also have experimented with prezi and slide rocket, both these programs are amazing however again I felt limited to just what those programs had to offer. I started to do some research and found what I wanted/needed was an interface that would allow me to embed and bring in all sorts of multimodal aspects from a wide range of places and arange and use the technology the way that I wanted to.

So here we are. Blogger I have experience using prior. When I was teaching ESL in S.Korea I kept a blog for my friends and family as a way to stay connected and tell them what was happening in my life. I would post pictures and share my experiences and they would comment and send words of encouragment. In Blogger I can share my ideas and use other programs all over the internet and either post a URL or bring the ideas right into my blog.

I may be a bit behind however the work has already been done. Just in the next few days I will be bringing the ideas and presentations i have already created and start uploading them to my blog. It is too bad it took me so long to find an interface that I liked; however, I am here now and I have a lot I want to share.
