I-Pad’s VS. Textbooks/ Online Research Nothing but blank spaces all over me. This cold, hard feeling washed on my back out of nowhere. My legs lifted up and it felt as if I was lying vertical. I couldn’t move, I didn’t know what to do. Eventually this very sharp painful poke went all over my body like I had goosebumps, but not the good one’s either. The excruciating pain finally stopped after it felt like a lifetime. I eventually got away, away from this horrendous dream. Schools are…

Whereas the “7 Myths” article provides compelling quotes in defense of online education, the “Continuing Controversies in Online Education” (2016) article concludes that online education should be approached with a degree of caution. Education is not one size fits all, so one should not expect distance learning to be the best option for every student. Both articles have stirred many thoughts when contemplating the myths that the quality of online education is low and that cheating is more common…

In spite of ingestion of these additional commercially produced glutamates, our body metabolizes this glutamate in the same way it does with the other glutamates found naturally in foods. What that means is that our body does not distinguish between naturally occurring glutamates or the MSG found in a bottle of ketchup. Interestingly, a research report not suggests that glutamate from food or MSG is important for a normal digestive function. (Food Insight, 2009) In 1958 the FDA (U.S. Food and…

I have never participated in a Read-a-thon before. I've always had the desire to, however, I have never felt up to it. Yet, this year I will be participating in the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon! This Saturday, from 1pm to 1pm Sunday, I will attempt to read as much as I can. I've been advised that it's best to target shorter, faster paced books in order to get further; Therefore, I have chosen the following book for my first ever Read-a-thon experience: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen…

Interface Design [Add usage scenario] 1. PocketMenu (Adapted from Pielot et al.’s paper, 2012, CHI) [Do I need to describe the original work first, and distinguish the difference? Or should I depict my adapted design directly?] Adapted from Pielot et al.’s work, PocketMenu, this design aims for providing a new type of menu interaction without the needing of visual feedback. The menu item stack is located along the bottom left edge of the screen vertically. Its precise location depends on the…

I always read as a kid. I was the small boy who plowed through books day and night, my mom scrambling to and from the library just to keep up with me. The only thing fixated on my mind was reading a new book and being totally captivated by the plot. Since then, I read less and less, sometimes going months without finishing a book. I feel sad that I spend less and less days staying up to midnight just to read one ... more … page. At this point in my busy life, the only reading I can complete is…

influx of Japanese design and ukiyo-e prints. Considering this phenomenon, an artwork I chose to write about that you can see this in is Vincent van Gogh’s canvas painting Bridge in the Rain. In 1886 Van Gogh moved to Paris and was introduced to Japonism and ukiyo-e because his brother ran an art gallery and he lived next to one. He was fascinated with the designs, colors, and compositions of the artwork he had seen in Japonisme work and started collecting ukiyo-e prints. In 1887, he was…

Email Provides Intimacy Indeed, for most of my elite subscribers, email was better than the forums because of the promise that the correspondence would stay secret and intimate, so that a subscriber could also voice their concerns without having others read them. This is true in general for all kind of subscribers, but while regular subscribers were always more about consuming my subscriber-only content, elite subscribers were more personable and involved in communication, especially in the…

Always” was written by Andrew Leonard. He explains to the Internet users “the positive and negative effects of e-mail and other relatively new forms of online communication, especially the ways in which people interact with each other” (149). He provides the reader some statistics and several personal examples in order to emphasize his points. An example that was impressed me is that the e-mail is a powerful network that people can use in many ways. The email is a human collaboration tool for…
