I plan to create a website which will showcase my interests. I plan to have a tab that will open a site to my educational encounters not only as a student but what I plan to do when I graduate and teach. A tab for my children's adventures, a tab for my mom, a tab for my tennis adventures, and a tab for my Shaklee business. The audience that I'm targeting will be very varied because of all the different interests. I want the look of the site to be creative and interesting. The challenges that I have are finding the time and deciding what program to use to start this project.... Well, ta... ta... for now....
I have commented on Tia's site and Laura's site.

Blog #2 & More comments
Hi everyone! My three favorite sites, huh... ok... Well, my first favorite website would be my part-time business that I have called Reiss Enterprises. I have a Shaklee distributorship and it is a multi-level marketing company. The three major components are (1) vitamins and food supplements; (2) natural skin care products; and (3) nature-friendly home care products. I hope you enjoy the site!
The second favorite website is the USTA tennis website. I'm an avid tennis player and play on several leagues. It is sooo much fun. Everyone should develop over the course of their life some physical activity which will not only help to keep one in shape but also it is a good way to maintain some fun friendships.... :)
The third website is OSU. Since I am a current student here I am always accessing this site for class information, etc., especially in Fawn Winterwood's class.... :)
Each one of these websites are professionally designed and easy to navigate. The page layout/fonts/graphics are appropriate to each web and the pictures help you to know where you are at in the site. Yeah, I think my website will look like one of these..... lol.... :)

I've been thinking about my website but haven't come up with an exact plan yet.... Sometimes the processing stage can take awhile... lol.... But I've been review other classmate blogs to see how they're doing...
It was fun going to Laura's Land and reading about her and how she got started doing the computer thing... lol.... I also commented on her blog .
I visited Peg's site and not only commented but also answered her question from the comment to my site from her.... It is all so interesting... Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting this project going!

Blog #1 3-29-07
Hi. I'm commenting on Adam's blog.... I'm also commenting on Karl's blog...
Please see previous blogs for my personal introduction.... Don't you just love the color PINK!!! I do!!! :)
So how will learning to design a website benefit me? It can benefit me in several ways..... I hoping that one day if I have a computer web design class -- that this class here will have taught me a few fundamentals in web design so I won't be teaching "cold turkey" and make a fool of myself..... "hands on" experience for me is the best way to learn.... Web design should also teach me something about organization and planning which will also assist in keeping one organized. I have always enjoyed Fawn's class ..... so this class should go well also.... I play tennis so I'm linking to the USTA website.... if you look around there long enough you will see my picture somewhere.... lol.... have fun!

I’ll assess the overall quality of your blog here. Visual appeal, content depth, insight expressed, use of graphic imagery, completeness (added links, image in profile; basically- made the most of what is available).
I don't think I took advantage of all the things that are available in the blog area. I was just overwhelmed with life and with the video project that that took precedence.
Thanks for this opportunity to be able to express ourselves via this blog!

Discuss the changes you notice in your understanding and skill with the technical resources and concepts we have used in class.
I think the more you work with a program the easier it gets and the skill level increases as with anything. One has to do the hard work to get the fun benefits... Nothing ever comes "free" or on a silver platter.
There is so much to learn and I don't think one will ever comprehend all the ways in which something can be done in a program!

Discuss ideas you have for how you might use video production professionally.
I've been working on my video at my church in the publications department and it has been quite fun. Several people have been curious as to what I am doing and some have even commented about me working on a project for them. It is amazing how things come together even when you're not trying. I have a strong faith in God and I think it is funny how the "coincidences" of life are not that but are the Hand of God working in our lives!! It has been a hard project but I look at the benefits and rewards and the benefits outnumbers the challenges!
I'm glad we did this project!

Explain the video you plan to make. Include (but don’t limit it to) discussion of what it is about, what you will use to make it, who is doing what, how you plan to work together, etc.
The movie that I am making is about my son's basketball season. This is his last year at his middle school and he is the captain of the team. I thought that if I could capture the memories of this season and make a movie about it, it would accomplish the goals of this class ; and it would also accomplish making some memories. I also thought that if it turned out good enough we could copy the movie and my son could give it to his classmates and a gift as well as the school could use it to promote their sports program. I am excited about getting this assignment accomplished. I am working on the project by myself but I've had help in getting pictures and video segments from the other parents who have children on both the boy's and girl's basketball team. This is the first year that both the girl's and boy's have gone to district and both teams brought back to the school -- the ultimate..... trophies!!! What an accomplishment they have had and I'm hoping to do the same. lol... :)

Discuss the process of creating your video. Discussion should include but not be limited to: how you chose your group, how you came up with your ideas, how (logistically as well as qualitatively) you worked together on the project.
The process of creating my video topic: hmmm.... I don't feel that I'm very creative and deciding on a topic was very difficult. However, via some discussion with classmates, I decided to piggyback on Mrs. C's idea of creating a basketball video of my son's basketball team. This would actually meet the requirements of this class as well as make a meaningful gift to the boy's basketball team. I've contacted the parents and all of them who took various pictures, etc. are willing to let me use them to create this video.... I'm working on this project alone and am hopeful that it will be fun, creative, and meaningful.

What do graphic design and page layout have to do with contemporary literacy and learning?
Another good question.... lol... I believe that we are living in a era where computer literacy is an absolute MUST! Graphic design provides a learning environment that fosters creative thinking and personal artistic development which influences one's literacy and learning. Today's students are more advanced because they have grown up with computers and have accquired many of the features necessary to be computer literate. Graphic design enables students to visualize many concepts that used to be in text form only. It also allows for a more interactive and fun way to learn!
For me, I just wish I had more time to play with these programs. It just takes practice and use to become good at this! :)

Discuss ideas you have for how you might use page layout or newsletters professionally.
Hmmmm...... good question.... I think that page layout and/or newsletter could be taught in the classroom for student taking business courses. Since I'm taking courses to become a teacher this might be a good thing... lol....
When I did my newsletter project, I made a newsletter regarding my in-home business -- Reiss Enterprises -- which is a Shaklee Distributorship. For me in my Shaklee business, a newsletter would be really valuable to be able to stay in touch with consumers using my products and it would allow me to share new products, give out coupons, educate my clients regarding various products and to motivate my clients to purchase more products.
The options for using page layout and/or the newsletter is a varied as one's creativity.

The topic is to discuss how I must use image editing professionally.... hmmmm..... not sure.... my job currently is working at a tennis club and i don't use the computer much there.... when I graduate OSU in Business Education and possibly get a business teaching position I might be able to implement image editing in a classroom of students and help them to edit images..... I have volunteered at my church on several occasions in the communications department and possibly I could use image editing there. :) It has been a challenge learning and implementing PhotoShop.....
