Friday, November 2

A short week! I hope your week went well. I can definitely feel the end of quarter stress in many of my classes. Hard to believe how quickly time has gone. This week we began focusing less on desktop applications and more on Web 2.0 applications. One of your assignments this week was to begin exploring Google Search tools. Specifically, you were to:

• Watch two videos found in Section 5 of Moodle. They are titled "How Does Google Work?" and "Filter Image Results by Color." 
• In your own words, and a maximum of three sentences, tell me how Google Search works. 
• Practice your image search skills by locating images of the field at Miller Park. Search for Miller Park or Milwaukee Brewers and use the paint chips to narrow your search results. What color paint chip would you choose? 
• You are looking for a new phone case and only want orange. After seeing orange phone cases, you change your mind and now want to see those that are red. How would you change the results to show you red? 
• What is yarnbombing? Find out by looking at images.

What did you think of the VoiceThread project?  Of all that we viewed, which one stands out most in your mind and why?

Take a moment to add a paragraph reflecting on your week overall.  Finally, in a new blog post, be sure to embed your Animoto video.
