End of Semester

The semester is basically over and I feel like it has happened in a whirlwind.  It is crazy to think that it is already time for the holidays.  I feel like I just started this semester.  Only one more semester to go and 5 credits before I am an official graduate.  It's been a crazy semester with lots of chaos so I am looking forward to the calm of the holidays (HA... thats a joke).  Signing off this year and ready for what 2011 has to offer.

Jason's Page

Jason was not only a member of my group, but also my colleague and friend.  I really like his webpage.  I love how there are many Uganda pictures and references.  I also thought that is Music Concrete assignment was really cool.  I like how simple to navigate his grouping of pages is.  I also really like how every page I have been viewing relates to the person's personality.

Kristina Walton's Page

WOW!!! Her page kicks some major @$$.  I really love how she used a picture for the background.  the black and white flowers are really beautiful and it gives me an insight into her easy going personality.  I love how all of her links are on the right side of her page and neatly organized.  The website is easy to follow as well as very pleasing on the eye.  I am very envious of her page, because I still feel that I am a beginner at this web-design stuff.  This page is awesome and everyone should go check it out.

Julia's Website

One of my classmates Julia has a great webpage.  I really like her use of pictures as well as her color choices.  Everything flows very nicely.  You are really able to get a good insight into who she is not only as a person but as a dance educator.  I have included a link to her site.  Please check it out and see for yourself.

NYU Blackboard

I personally like the NYU Blackboard.  I think it is easy to navigate.  It is visually appealing and the layout make sense for my artistic preferences.  I think it is plain but I also feel that it doesn't need to be that fancy because its main purpose is to put students in touch with their academic desires.  I would imagine that to code that site is a very involved task and I do not feel that I would like to be apart of that.  In my opinion NYU has a good tech team that keeps their sites readily available and easy to operate.

Group Meeting #2

Meeting number two and an idea is formed.  We plan on keeping our idea under wraps for a while, but I can tell you that it will involve all disciplines and provide a new perspective.  Tune in for more clues as we approach the end of the semester.

Team Uranus

Last week we had an opportunity to meet with our final project group for the first time.  We had a nice session getting to know each other.  I already knew Jason from the Dance Education program.  My two other group members are Kelly and Laura.  The cool thing about our group is that we have music, theater, and dance educators.  I like that we are a diverse group.  I am looking forward to developing a project with these people and I think we will get along quite nicely.  Everyone seems to have a good sense of humor and that is an important quality for good group cohesion.  Stay tuned for more Uranus action :-)
