Blog Post 14

Project #13

Our group, The Grey Wardens, used email, Skype, Tumblr, and Google Docs to discuss projects #15 and #16 and share information with each other. I preferred Tumblr, because I am constantly on that website, so I see messages from others on there almost instantly. I didn't enjoy Skype, because my computer lagged so much it was almost impossible for me to use. Google Docs was great for sharing lots of links and information with each other. Using email, on the other hand, was a bit harder for me, since I'm not in the habit of checking it often, and would sometimes not know a group member had asked me something for several days. Tumblr was by far the most successful way we communicated on my end.
The Tumblr logo. It is the word tumblr outlined in blue.

Final Project #16

The logo of the Grey Wardens from the video game Dragon Age. A stylistic Gryphon rears back on its hind legs, claws displayed.

Using the website Tumblr, we, The Grey Wardens (Emily Russell, Jay Shiver, and Rodney Patrick) have built a PLN that any teacher or student can turn to for ideas and tools they can use in the classroom, and we have done it in a way that attempts the kind of writing with multimedia project that Richard Miller talked about in This is How We Dream.
