Day 28
DAY 28: Finished
I decided, instead of waiting until I got home to finish uploading the CCRs, my group and I decided to try and find out how to do this without using Google Drive. We created accounts on a website called Scribd.com which is kind of like Canva, but with with books as well. We used Scribd to upload our PowerPoints and then to create and embedded link which will cause the PowerPoints to show up instead of having to take a link to them. We then took the link and switched Blogger to HTML and pasted the link into this. After that we checked each other's blogs to see if it worked without any blue coating or glitches.
There was also a problem with my first CCR that wouldn't let me update a problem and then upload it to Scribd. I had to go into my blogger and constantly edit my first CCR until blogger had the changes appear on my actual blog. Once my blogger finally updated my CCR, my project was finished and I had to go back into Blogger and switch the modes from HTML back to Compose.
Day 27
DAY 27: Uploading the Magazine and CCRs
Today, I'm finishing up my project as a whole. Within the past three days, I finished up all my CCRs and I've been finished with my magazine for a while. So, regarding this, I've been trying to figure out how to upload both to my blog. My group and I have been having trouble uploading our PowerPoints to the blog, but we have had no problems uploading the magazine. There is no option on blogger where you can upload a file (that we know of) so we have no clue so far how to put the PowerPoint portion onto our blogs.
After searching for solutions to this problem, I discovered that files can be uploaded through use of Google Drive. The main problem with this is the fact that Google Drive is blocked at the school I'm at, so I need to find a way to work around this. One of my group partners thinks the best idea is just to move the PowerPoint online and then upload it from there, but it doesn't seem to be working that well, so I'm going to see if I can finish uploading these PowerPoints at home and then finally finishing the project.
Day 26
DAY 26: Beginning the CCR
For the last few days, I have been working on the CCR portion of this project. I have had to go over all of the intricacies of my magazine and how aspects of technology were used during the creation of my magazine. I decided to use PowerPoint to provide the responses to these questions for many reasons. A major reason was because PowerPoint is what i was the most familiar with prior to this project. I have been making PowerPoints for years, so I know all of the properties that make PowerPoints appealing to an audience. I went through and answered all of the questions thoroughly on different slides while adding transitions between each slides to add at least some visuals to my PowerPoint since I don't want to overdo animations. If I were to do this it would clutter my CCR and distract from what it's actually used for. I used a template that is mostly used for job presentations as to create my responses to the questions. This template provided me with a aesthetic design that isn't distracting, but is easy on the eyes and very appealing.
