I completely agree with most of the articles that we were supposed to read. I would suggest that when making your powerpoint for class be simple, smart with your color, and cautious with your font choices. A bad powerpoint is never fun to watch and the important information that it could be trying to convey gets lost in how incredibly awful and boring it is.

When making a powerpoint I would suggest to:

-Keep it Simple

-Not put too many animations (those get annoying and old fast)

-Use video or audio when necessary

-Choose fonts well so that viewers can read them

-Do not put too many bullet points, or text (too much for viewers to read)

Photoshop Collage

My picture here is a picture of random things in my life. I am always very busy and things are always scattered around my dorm and I think that this collage shows exactly how things often look in my life, and in other people's scattered lives.

Chris Nolan's Presentation

In Chris Nolan's presentation we learned a lot of stuff about Google and how to use it. He told us that Google was ranked in large part by how many people have linked to them because it gives them more credibility. He told us that popular results are more towards the top, scholarly resources may often times be much further down on the list.
I learned from him that you have to be careful with government run sites because they may often times have biase information. I found this very surprising because you would often think that a government ran site is the way to go! But after I thought about it I realized that he was completely right because different politicians and parties would of course have different views.
I found out that often times Google books does not have an entire book, but because of Trinity's database you may be able to find it on there or sometimes even Google books may have it.
