Lat Week's Class
Hi, I said I would blog about what we talked about in class last week for those that weren't there. Sorry it's so late. We really only had about 15 mins in our group to talk, but we did discuss how maybe we want the page to look. We talked about the map of the fallout shelter to be our navigation system. Let me back up, we saw this cool website a few weeks ago in class that gave blueprints for building your own snack bar/ fall-out shelter (government propaganda during the Cold War in the 60's). and some of us thought that it might be cool to utilize that for our navigational map. I don't know what everyone thinks, but it's an idea. I also found this quote I thought would be cool somewhere on our front page, "...amidst that din they chased each other across the sky..." Walt Whitman (from a poem). Also some of us thouight that is we could incorperate poems exploding on the screen or colliding with other things that might be kinda cool!(?) We do have presentation for the whole class on our little pod on March 4 (I think), so we should have some solid ideas by then (obviously). But we were kind of stuck last week on any more brilliant schemes because we don't really know what kind of submissions were dealing with. I think what seems to be the focus that Connie and Jen have is an interesting way to engage with the internet. So that's all I have at the moment... See some of you in class. By the way if someone could show me how to do spell check on this thing in class, that would be awesome.

I'm so psyched to hear abut this fallout shelter focus!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on the mock-up...glad I read this. Did we ever name our pod or do we want to give our section a name? I will also find a place for the quote.
