Trello, On Thursday, March 30, I met with my team which would later be known as Gemini V. During our very first meeting we discussed our strengths and what we were good at doing. I was willing to work on the database with Lili, but we needed a project manager. Nobody volunteered for the position […]

Emotional Intelligence
I took the emotional intelligence quiz, and it told me that I have a Good EQ. Having a good EQ is just as important as having a good IQ. Emotional Intelligence is being able to be aware, control, and express one’s emotion. In an interpersonal setting knowing how to express your feelings is important, so that […]
Meeting @ 12:15 Tuesday
“20-29: While there are times when your participation is masterful, there are also times when you may stifle your own participation or the participation of others. You may find it helpful to speak up more or to invite others to speak up. Seek win-win solutions to conflict by encouraging others to explain their views” (http://www.amanet.org/training/articles/self-assessment-are-you-a-masterful-meeting-participant.aspx) […]
Centaur
I never thought that I would be able to build a web page, let alone a microsite. However, I did just that. The first page I made I made was my index.html page and made a template to base my other pages off of, so I didn’t have to write four pages of code. This […]
Making Sandwiches
The other day Professor Johnston taught us how to give ethical critiques so we would be able to provide ethical critiques to others in class about their website. After staring so long at a project, it is a nice to have another set of eyes look at your work and tell you what they like […]

Fireworks
I have never used Adobe Photoshop, so I was hesitant about using fireworks because I had little to know idea on how to use it. Once we started to use it didn’t seem as hard I thought, my wireless mouse was a lifesaver when working on editing the photos. The first photo I edited was […]
Usability
Technology has made life easier, and this includes websites as a way to access information. If a website is difficult to use then, it’s more or less worthless. As a user, if I can’t find the information that I want to know quickly then I move to another site to access the information. After watching […]
Excelling with Google Sheets
Excel and Google Sheets were always a nightmare for me to think about. I hated the thought of using either one. It was mostly because I really didn’t know how to work with either program and it was one of the reasons I wanted to minor in information technology. So as the semester continued and […]
Marshmallows and Spaghetti Noodles
Building the tallest tower made of marshmallows and spaghetti noodles is a pretty daunting task! Our group kind of chose Vicki as the leader of the group, because she told us she had done similar activities. The rest of us were quite unsure of what to do, so we let Vicki lead us. Everyone had […]
