CEDO555 Blog Post Three

Oh my, has it been a week! I barely got my artifacts aligned to my standards and in the meantime have been thinking a lot about my project proposal but not actually writing anything down yet, so I really need to tie myself to the computer and not let up until my proposal is done. On a personal note, this weekend was my seven year old daughter's dance recital - so much fun but a big time commitment. My mother came up as well and we were having a great time outlining my proposal as I could bounce ideas off of her. The interesting part was being able to show her some of the tools I'm talking about. For example, I was thinking about how to complete and keep the project information organized and I was debating whether or not I wanted a Ning type network (you all did hear that Ning is going completely pay-for-use right? If you've got info on a Ning, you need to pull the content before it gets dumped...) or a website based tool like Google Sites. So at 11pm Friday night, we're online and I'm showing her these tools and others that we've been using. She wants to be included in the outcome of my project as it will include Web 2.0 tools and how to use them for the "general public". Lots of fun and at 1am we decided to call it a night.
The other part of the class that I'm still working on is the alignment of artifacts to the different classes we took. I have chosen at least one assignment from each of the classes but need to do the footwork and document my reflections and get the links made active. A lot to do, but most of the groundwork is laid and I just need to follow through and see it to the end.
