Processing…..

I can dialogue with you about life and different situation. But this conversation does not stop here for me. Later on , next day or just when I have time I’m going over things that was said. I’m processing the tones that was used and how they were being used. I do this to fully understand what was being said. I don’t this to hold up to ill feelings.

Progressive Enhancement

This article tells us the order of how things are made for the web. Well, they say its an order to everything and this just reinforce it.

The article talks about how good programmers step up there site in theses steps. They plan out their content(HTML). This sets the stage for everything thing. Next comes the presentation(CSS). This is where we dress up everything and make it look nice and pretty. Last comes the client-side scripting(JavaScript). Now we can make things move and flow. Complete all these steps helps execute a polish product. This is my take on this article. I also found this other article that also talks about Progressive Enhancement smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/progressive-enhancement-what-it-is-and-how-to-use-it/

Marshmallow Tower Exercise

We almost had it!!!!
  • Was there a leader in your group? Who was it and who decided who the leader would be? Savannah I guess we collectively made the descision.
  • If you had no leader, do you think having designated someone a leader would have helped?
  • How helpful was everyone on your team in the process of building the tallest structure? Everyone is was helpful. We kinda had the same ideas about how to secure our structure
  • How helpful was the five-minute design process? Did anyone appear to be an expert? I dont think we use the five minutes very well. No one seem to be an expert.
  • Did any team members tune out the activity–out of frustration with other members or for some other reason? No
  • What could you have done to keep all members of the group fully engaged? We were all engaged.
  • Did you feel everyone’s ideas were well received during the activity? Yes
  • How did you feel as the time limit was approaching? Did pressure increase? If yes, was that helpful or not? Stressed I felt like we would not have a structure that would meet the requirements
  • In retrospect, what could you have done differently throughout this process? We could have used the five minutes before to plan better.

Sandwich Feedback

Who was your partner and what was their project? Dara
Did you feel that having the sandwich template helped your critiquing efforts? Yes, it gave me some questions to ask because I could not think of any.
In which role did you feel the most/least comfortable; being evaluated or in the role of the evaluator? neither because I didn’t want to get or delivered any bad news
What did you learn from interacting with your partner? I learned that my partner was a good observer and gave her critiques with respect to my feelings
What do your feel were your strengths / weaknesses as an evaluator? strenghts is I have an good eye to spot mistakes/ weakness is my confident
What would you do differently next time you found yourself in an ethical constructive feedback situation? I will be confident in my ablities to give critiques because it helps me and the other person.

I just need to be confident the next time I have to do this assignment again.

Leadership

This class period we talked about what makes a leader a good one. We collectively came up with 13 qualities.

  • Delegation
  • Motivation
  • Initiative
  • Patience
  • Confidence
  • Compassion
  • Responsible
  • Integrity
  • Open-minded
  • Communication Skills
  • Trustworthiness
  • Moral Compass
  • Humility

Next, we read a case study about 7 different people. It gave us a brief summary of each person’s character, accomplishments, and their occupation. The people were stranded on an island. Hmm, this sounds familiar. On the island, there was a captain, first mate, celebrity, psychiatrist billionaire, plastic surgeon, and factory worker. We then had to decide who will be a designated or emergent leader. My team picked the order wrong both times.

Image Optimization

On Jan 30th, our homework assignment was to read about image optimization and give three takeaways from this article. My first take away is that I didn’t realize that image optimization is consider a art and a science. This is mystery to me because the art on the opposite end of the spectrum. when optimizing images that you have to pick the right format that would be best for what you need it for. To do this you have figure out what type of image you have. Is your image a vector or raster? You also have to decided you what resolution you want you image to have. To do this you would need to resize up or down to see what size works best for the project your working on. This article also suggest that we should invest in a automatic optimization that will ensure all image will always be .

Communication Skills

On Jan 30th, we talked about what excellent skills a group should have. We talked about what kind of climate will group needs to be successful and what process we need to use/ go through to have that. My group talked about having openness for others’ ideas and opinions. We also said that good group members should have respect for other members.

Did you feel that having the sandwich template helped your critiquing efforts? Yes, I guess it did.
In which role did you feel the most/least comfortable; being evaluated or in the role of the elevator? I felt least comfortable being the elevator.
What did you learn from interacting with your partner? My partner had a lot of good suggestion for my project even though I was not fully finish with it. She was very positive about the look of my project as well.
What do your feel were your strengths / weaknesses as an elevator? I’m not for sure if the i have any strengths as a elevator and my weakness is that have no strengths.
What would you do differently next time you found yourself in an ethical constructive feedback situation? I will keep an open mind just as I did the past time.

In true fashion I procrastinated on how much time I had to complete this project. When in class you all talk about staying on top of things and being organized our work. But I feel like even if I would have taken my time it would have been the same basic site that i built with out any pizzazz of bangs and whistles.
