Reflection of MM webtext.

When I first started doing the MM webtext I was totally lost and kind of thought I picked a dull topic. Then I remember that" hello I am a cat lover myself and I ahve owned one in the past ( plus i work with them"). So that made it a lot easier. Also, I am glad we got to stick with a specific topic and be more detailed instead of something that didn't give examples and just kind of stated the facts.

This project was also a lot less stressful and easier to know what you were looking for since we did the podcast and the webtext seperately in the past. This time it was alot easier to know what I was looking for and what types of media to add to my page. I even learned how to post Youtube videos!! I was excited to learn that! All in all I'm glad we had a combo project, as i call it.

Over view of class.

This class has taught me a lot about design. I enjoyed writing and being able to let my creative side out while still being somewhat professional. I learned a lot about the new technology that is available and the certain things you can do with it. The webtext and podcast were hard when they were by themselves, but the Multimodal webext was a lot easier becuase doing the two seperate kind of showed us what you were looking for as a whole.

The podcast was not my favorite becuase I hate hearing my own voice coming out of the computer, but all in all the class was a good one. I am looking forward to the webzine.

Conference.

I am still waiting to do my conference. My web text is coming along great I tihink. The podcast slideshow was easier than i thought is was going to be. But that is probably becuase we just did one. Over all I feel good about this multimodal webtext.

Revised reflection.

I Generally wanted to stay ont he topic of animals when it came to my podcast. So I decided to write it on animals diseases that affect people too. I thought it would be a great way to educate people on something they might know or might not know much about. Also It interested me a great deal. Also in my webtext I talked about animal diseases a little and in my podcast I wanted to go into it more and touch down more specifically.If I would have had more time and education on how to use audacity, I would have added music, maybe sound effects while talking about the symptoms caused by the diseases.
As I was researching, I found that many different websites said many different things. I was not sure on what to believe. So when I wen to work I asked the lab techs what was truth and what was false. They helped me a great deal. I also had my own experirnces with some of the diseases from working at the humane society so that part of the research was easy. I knew a lot about parasites and easily wrote down what they did to the body and what the symptoms were.

Final Project

For the final project I am going to be talking about Cat nutrition. My proposal talks just about the nutrition of cats but I think I am going to go into how to care for your cat also.

My podcast/slideshow will be pictures of cats that have had a hard time in the shelter. some have stopped eating and now they have feeding tubes in them. That shows they are picky with food. I will show different pictures of different cats and how their enviornment effects them. and how we, the staff, are trying to get them back on their feet.

Podcast Reflection

I choose to do my podcast on animal diseases becuase I tihnk it's important to know what diseases humans can get from animals and vice versa.

I also wanted to give examples and symptoms so that maybe if a person experiences those symptoms they can get checked out and prevent the disease from going any furthur.

Podcast

I am doing my podcast on Diseases that affect humans and animals the same. Most people would think these disease are only transmitted from animal to animal. Little do they know that there are so many diseases that animals can give to people and the person who gets it doesn't even know how or where they got it from.

It is something I found very interesting and would like to share not just asan interesting topic but to inform everyone of the diseases you need to be aware of. :)

Reflection of Webtext

I choose to do the Humane Society of Calumet Area because I love animals. I also work there. There are a lot of things that go on that people don't really realize. Everyone thinks it's the easiest jobe in the world but honestly it's really hard. you are constantly working and you never have time to just sit. Sometimes I am on my feet for 11 hours straight. People often bring in feral cats and we are like " why!". They honestly should just leave them be. They are living ousdie for a reason BECAUSE THEY ARE WILD.

I have so many awful stories I could have told and the ones I did tell on my webtext were the simplest and by far the least sad. We recently got in a puppy that is 8 weeks old and it has NO BUTTHOLE. so it can't poop. It's a lot more complicated but I am not going to get into it.

I'm really glad I decided to imform the class on what goes on at the humanes society. Some may have already known a little but a lot of that stuff is pretty unknown by most. I am glad I got to write it.

Podcast?

I think I might want to branch out and maybe do a specific disease that is lethal if not treated for animals. Or maybe go in depth more about about procedures on how to clean up after the diseases come in conact with other things like towels and that stuff. Then for my final project I tihnk I might want to do something on a specific animal.


I'm really not sure yet. it's alot to figure out.

Hey!

Hey guys.

I'm going to introduce myself a little. My name is Megan. I am 20 and I work at the Humane Society in Munster. I didn't do my webtext today( monday) becuase I was not in class last wednesday. but I plan to do it on the humane society, a kind of behind the scenes if you may. I am a huge animal lover and would do anything to help them. I am going into Animal cruelty investigation after I get my sociology degree.

I am a sophomore here at Purdue Cal. I live in the dorms and i find that it's an okay place.

Toodles!

Indiana Jones Thief? hero?

My topic was Indiana Jones. Honestly I know nothing about him. The only thing I know is that he kicks ass and becomes rich in his movies.


I'm much more interested in animals. I actually work at the Humane Society in Munster. When thearticle about the humane societies in our area was pulled up onto the screen I was very excited. Haha.
