Blog 9

I think that using the web to teach a course is a very good idea. Having somewhere that teachers, students, and parents can't turn to when you're unreachable is something that would help possibly straighten out some confusion. I don't know that my understanding has necesarily though on any web topics.

I learned in this class that websites take a lot more time than remembered they did to create. The biggest thing for me was trying to remember how to most of things I used to be able to do. The one problem I had was using the latest version of Dremweaver when the last i used was Dreamweaver 6. I did find the couple of books I got to be pretty useful when it came to creating the button that leads you into my site. One other thing that is useful is to keep a similar layout throughout the pages and use that as a template so your site looks uniformed on the way it is done.

7 websites with video

Some of the websites I go to that use videos to enhance what the content are about are cnn, myspace, and nbc. Cnn is good about using video for interviews as well as news stories. myspace uses videos to show movie previews as well as music videos, comercials and other things. I go to nbc frequently to watch my missed episodes of heroes, since it is on monday nights at 9 and i usually miss most of it. Some things I don't like about some of these sites and there use of video is that myspace usually has alot of videos that start automatically and makes the pages load a lot slower.

For the website I am going to create, it is going to be a Flash site. I haven't exactly done one of these in a long time and I can't exactly everything it entails since its been so long. For my pages I plan to have my own homepage explaining a little bit about me and what idea along with links to my other pages including school stuff such as: a class that I want to teach one day with a syllabus and an e-mail for people to contact me. Other pages that will be included will be a warcraft page, a page showing some of airsoft adventures, and one showing my educational experiences to date. This site will be somewhat interactive when i'm done through the use of flash. This site is targeted to a variety of audience depending on the area. My biggest challenge will be relearning flash and the other tools needed and getting myself to do the work. Overall this will be something that will help me in the future.

Blog 2 Surfing with Ease

Well first of all my favorite three sites are thottbot a site for the warcraft gamers that I use(yes I know I'm a nerd), ups's employee site, and the 5/3 website that I do my banking at. Some of the things that I like about these sites are that first of all they are color coordinated. The site matches the theme of the company and it's consistent throughout. Seond of all navigating through these sites are simple and you can find what your looking for within two or three mouse clicks. This is a good thing for a site because you don't want people to have to dig for information. Also the graphics on the pages aren't very big so it makes it quick to download the page. The sites have a toolbar nested on the left side that helps in the navigation throughout the site.

Blog #1 White & Nerdy Online!!!

For those of you who don't know me!!

My name is Adam Dendinger. I currently work at UPS where I have worked for about a year. I've had quite a bit of experience designing websites in high school using different editors such as: Arachnophilia, Adobe GoLive, Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft FrontPage. Overall I would say that Dreamweaver is one of the best editors that I have used. Other than using these I was on a B.P.A. (Business Professionals of America) Web Design Team that placed 3^rd in regionals. Granted I haven't done extensive web design in several years but I look forward to getting back to it. I'm looking forward to this class and doing the website. Here are a few sites to checkout that have me on it. Here's my MySpace and Facebook sight see you all on Thursday.

When it comes to using video production professionally I will be using it in my career as a Interactive Media teacher. So I will be using it as a way to sell my program and something that I will be able to teach my clas. Along with using it for my career I'm also going to use it for my own home videos.
