How To Make A Cardboard Chair

http://www.andrewsenior.com/gallery/design/cardboard_instruct.html
This site shows you how to make a cardboard chair with just cardboard. It has plenty of pictures so you know exactly how to build it. Each picture has instructions for the next step. It also has FAQ's for people who may get stuck or confused. The site doesn't have a video, but all the pictures could make up for that. The design & instructions are very simple & easy to understand. The instructions don't show simple measurements, which is bad. The pictures are in kind of bad quality, they're hard to understand. I wouldn't use this site as my number one choice as a guide, only because I would like to have a video & the pictures aren't clear. I can tell now that this wont be an easy project.

My Experiences on Using A Blog !!

Blogging is actually easier than what I had originally thought it would be. I like using blogs to do tasks in class on. I think it makes learning more fun for the students and also were able to express how we feel about the subject by using pictures, crazy fonts, backgrounds ect. This blogging page has engaged many students in learning and has actually made it fun for students to do. I believe now by use using this website many students that started out not caring about the work have buckled down and are ready and eager to work. Me personally i enjoy completing task on my blogger. I can include pictures to my topic i'm blogging. I can also look at my friends work and get ideas comment on their posts and get connected easier with my teacher. I can go directly to her page and list questions i have for her and in a matter of no time she is responding!! My experiences have all been positive using a blog I enjoy it and I know others do as well!!! =)

Good and Bad Design Features

After reading the links Good and Bad Design Features i learned a little more than what i already new. Good Design Features overall said that your blog should be easy to understand and that their shouldnt be distractions. My blog follows this exceptionally. My background isn't to dark that it drowns out my writing and the pictures that are incorporated tie into what im talking about. Everything coincides well on my blog i must say. Bad Design Features said that you should not have paragraphs typed in all caps, blue default links, large images that fill entirely to much space and also text that is to small to read. The only improvements that i would have to make would be adding atl labels to my graphics. Im not sure if this is a bad design feature but i would like to make all my words in my description of me fit properly instead of beinging cut off by my image!!  

What Have I Learned From The Glider Project???

I must say that the glider project was pretty difficult. This particular project taught me organization and how to be consistant while completing a specific task. I learned the steps that i takes to successfully complete a task that and induvidual may be building, and its not easy. I learned how to draw full scale layouts and evenly cut out templates to create my glider in a successful matter. I learned how to research and find the correct and valuable information to complete my task. I learned how to be consistant and get the task completed. I couldnt take breaks and pause i felt as if the project was important theirfore i did not take breaks i continued to work consistant so that i would not get confused in my work and fall off track.

What I Have Learned About A Blog !! =)

From reading "whats a blog" I learned that this particular website requires no rules. Its more like a personal diary of some sort. Personal thoughts can be expressed on this website and no judgment would be obtained.This website relates to others such as facebook or better yet maybe twitter. However in this particular blog me as well as other students use this to communicate with Mrs.Nguyen my engineering teacher. Communication is extremely important. Students are able to see posts from other students and grasps ideas as well. With our teacher having her own blog as well we are able to go directly to her on her blog in the case that we (students) might be unsure of something. On a Blog your able to voice how you feel create and design to show other your sense of style. I believe blogging is a great way students can get a closer connection to the teacher as well as show the teacher he different side of them.
Thanks Tricey =)
