Reflection Blog

My essay probably relates more to the digital generation. This is probably because I agree with most of the author’s points. Since, I agree with most of the author’s points, my purpose was then to explain why I agree with them and try to influence my audience that they should feel this way too. In general, I wanted to say that it would beneficial to students to incorporate digital media in the classroom, since we could use to not only educate in the subject matter, but in so to speak real life. I decided to talk about how we encounter it every day and then I began to talk about the potential of today’s generation.
I intended to give the design of my essay some appeal with the use of color on any page. I did not want the pages to be boring because if it looks drab some may very well just skip reading that page because it may not look to exciting. Despite the randomness of the colors used in some sense this may have helped since for the most part a different color was used on each page that reflected a different point. If a reader was looking for a particular piece of information, it may give some sort of clue as to where it may be located at. With anything organization is key. I wanted to place the links in an order so that if anyone decided to read them like a paper they could. So I started off with a summary and then I continued with the links as if they were building body paragraphs with my various responses. I then concluded with a small wrap with some final thoughts. I believe that all of this has made my presentation appealing. However, I have noticed on a few of my pages some problems. For instance, in my attempt to hurry I accidentally forgot a tool bar of links on one page and for some odd reason half a tool bar is missing from the works cited.
I chose the research that I did because it is very relatable. In some shape or form we deal with what I have included. The example on digital signs may be somewhat obscure, but I used it as a reminder that our world is going entirely digital so that we need to keep making changes. The other examples I chose have something to do with some sort of education that involves digital multimedia.
In general, I guess I am a little disappointed with my project. In a rush to finish it at the last second I forgot to fix a few costly mistakes that definitely hurt the appeal of my page. At times this project was definitely aggravating as I was dissatisfied with the first time too. In my attempt to fix these problems I disrupted the visual appeal.
