[Running Late] Task 2 Wrap up!

I revisited the unit guide (page 14) for EDN113 and realised that what I have produced is still not quite what is required for me to pass the unit. That is, I have created: webpage with a page that links instructions on how to get to my social media website (forum, here)*, and a how to contribute instructions, but I forgot to show some examples of what I mean.

and here's what I mean.

 the image here above on the left, shows a example of what I would like to see in the forum.

and below. shows an example of how to achieve what I would like to see in the forum. It is like a form of 'meta-instructions'.

After the big realisation, I decided to start producing some examples and this only came to me when I was doing a review for another student's work. I decided what have I got to lose? If I included more information... (nothing). Hence, started adding examples.

Above, there are some threads (above) with videos inside about: digging, setting and spiking.

Despite not getting any feedback from anyone, I'm not too phased about what to work on because I am confident that what I have done will be good.

Some tools and websites that I found very useful was Internet Explorer (I.E.), Youtube, Google and Snipping Tool (Windows). Reasons why I found these useful are: without I.E. Youtube and Google would be inaccessible, Snipping Tool helped me get pictures to show you what I mean (see above). Youtube and Google allowed me to get images and videos for examples to display in task 2.

Of course there were alternative tools and websites that I could have used like: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Vimeo, Yahoo or Jing, but I did not want to use the 'common' technologies - to build more knowledge about a variety of different technologies.

The new technologies can be used in almost any situation that has a computer, phone or electronic device. By this I mean, browsing searching or researching can be done if your electronic device has a browser: Chrome, I.E. or Firefox. However Jing and Snipping Tool is primarily used on computers, because most smartphones nowadays come with an in-built screenshot function. 



Until next time (Task 3) :)

P.S. " * " means that you may have to log-in to see what it inside!
