Simple, Brutal, and Brilliant

Who says you need a big production studio and complex effects to make a good commercial?

PS - The "Making of" video is equally brilliant!

Homework Due Monday, 10/26 - Read/Watch This, Then Respond

What do you think of Nook, the new e-reader from Barnes and Noble?

Check out this article/review from engadget and post your thoughts in the comments below; specifically:

• Would you use an eReader? Why or why not?
• How does this change things? or book publishers, sellers, writers, and readers?
• Have you heard of or seen other e-book readers like the Amazon Kindle? How does the Nook seem to compare?

The Flood Tide

Estudiantes,

Now that we've turned the mid-point in the semester, the end will be here before you know it. There are 12 projects we tackle in this class and from here on, there will be fewer and fewer short-term due dates (i.e. "This project is due next wednesday...") as you work more independently to create and corral the various digital assets produced by your assignments.

As you look to the Course Documents and Support section to the right, you can see the assignment list populating:

Assignment #6 - Photography

Assignment #7 - Portfolio Web Site

Assignment #8 - Interactive Map

Assignment #9 - One-Minute Video

Assignment #10 - Instructional Podcast

Assignment #11 - Technology Review

Assignment #12 - Multimedia Research Project

We'll be adding links to all of these in the coming weeks as you begin building your iWeb website and adding and linking together all the digital assets you've created in class this semester. More to come, so stay tuned!
