Finally!!! My nominations for Best Of...

... I was busy ... life is crazy ... um... OK, I was involved in other things and just didn't get to this yet!  BUT, I have the advantage of using some of the latest blog posts to choose from!


We were asked to cruise through our classmates' blogs and choose the best ones that exemplified the things we have learned this semester.  WOW!!  What a wonderful bunch of blogs I got to read!  And how difficult it has been to choose the best!  I must admit, that eventually, I simply stopped reading, because I had filled my categories, and simply didn't want to be any later in getting this particular blog post completed!  Besides, if I continued, I would be horribly pressed to choose from among the gazillions of wonderful, fantastic, and amazing posts that my fellow students have posted!


So, without further ado ...

1.  Historical Content

• Themes

Andrew’s blog about Millennials – connected to YouTube, Forum speaker & his blog, and invoked commentary in directions I didn’t expect

• Events

Danny’s blog about Hanford and the Digital Age – because he lived there, he has a better understanding of the impacts of that particular situation

• People

Clint’s blog about Gahndi – linked to our own US history – however, the video is a dead link 

o    Works

Erin’s blog about lasers

2.  Computing Content

• Computing Concepts

Kristen’s blog about Game Theory, the Law of Consecration, & interviewing Norbu – an interesting connection!

• Digital Culture

Morgan’s blog about digital life – I especially love the image she used about web developers vs. web designers!

Danny’s blog about cell phones possibly replacing our wallets – he brought up several points that were great – and brought in several comments as well that had interesting thoughts – a continuation of earlier in-class discussions

• Digital Literacy Lab

Andrew’s blog about Noteflight – and included his composition (written on his mission)

3.  Self-Directed Learning

JakyDigiCiv’s blog about exploring various topics

• Create

Clint’s blog about photoscape with examples of his “photoshoping”
