SITES WE LOOKED AT IN CLASS

Nature from PBS.org http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/database.html
From leaches to crocs feeding, this PBS show goes beyond what you get if you only watch TV.

Google video http://video.google.com/

http://blogsearch.google.com is an indexing tool that points to the latest buzz on any keyword or topic.

http://www.icerocket.com is a good resource for looking up blogs on a particular topic, such as Hurricane Katrina, or for searching for blog entries by a certain author or within a specified time period.

http://technorati.com is the best blog-search option on the Web. Technorati indexes by topic, allowing you to find, for example, just those blogs that love cats. It also lists the most popular terms people are blogging about and features a Top 100 list.

DUE THIS THURSDAY
1. Study for the quiz on Thursday. OPTIONAL BUT HELPFUL: Take the quiz review. WARNING! These are NOT the only questions that will be on the quiz. They represent the types of questions you’ll be asked. I’ll try to include at least one question from each of you. Remember that things we talk about in class might be included too.

2. Post your fourth blog entry by midnight. Include a video link as well as a regular link. Here are sources of video:

OPTIONAL: Come to Nancie’s class every Tuesday and Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in our classroom (Stauffer A-114). No quizzes, no grades!

DUE NEXT TUESDAY
1. Put your finished Sound Slides, résumé page and one other page in your STUDENT folder BY THE END OF CLASS. If you’re not happy with your navbar, this is the time to redo it. You don’t have time to finish everything in class. That’s why you need to practice and work on as much as you can outside class. You can download the free versions of Photoshop and Dreamweaver. For information, go to Books.

2. We’ll work on another page on Tuesday. Bring what you need to class! That could be your bio for your BIO page or stories for your PORTFOLIO page or the content for your HOME page.
