... okay one more.

Well hello there Chris! As you know, I was not anticipating for my final presentation to go this way. I fully understand that I will receive points off because it is not a presentation, however I hope that I can slightly redeem my efforts.
Honestly, I was planning on filming myself and then posting it to YouTube for all viewing pleasure. With this in mind, I was going to say lab seventeen was my favorite pick because it taught me something new that I was genuinely interested in, which would be streaming video. Unfortunately for me, I have never been technology savvy, so why I thought I could accomplish the task of learning how to post a YouTube video now befuddles me.

I was hoping to learn how to be that “cool-cat” who could post videos on the Internet and then have fellow peers find it to laugh at my expense. I got as far as the verification email and came to a halt in my efforts. I NEVER RECEIVED the email! Yes, although I am extremely impatient, I did wait for it to arrive, and in my defense, I waited a very long time. After this dilemma, I realized an important lesson that my parents have been trying to get through to me- NEVER PROCRASTINATE! Oh how I hope one day I will learn this valuable lesson so it does not come to me stuck in Houston, while a for sure deduction awaits my grade.

So, since the YouTube sensation was not what I was expecting, I can not elaborate on “how lab seventeen was my favorite lab”; therefore, I have chose another lab that was my “favorite”. And who may this lucky winner be you ask? Well, it is lucky lab eleven.

To start off this short explanation, I will begin with a refreshing reminder of what it was. Not surprisingly, it was the simplest exercise that called us to find and retrieve five pictures of different technology devices and post them to our blog. We also had to find a video, post it to our blog and explain it as well.

I obviously was expecting to learn how to use HTML format, which would allow me to post a viewable picture to my website. I also was expecting how to search for specific picture items using different sources. While attempting to finish this exercise, I came across an unexpected problem. Right at the end of the lab, I realized that my video was too big for the screen and one was not able to view the video as a whole. With this issue, I had to ask for your assistance and I unexpectedly learned how to resize a clip so it could be properly viewed. ☺

I really have nothing in mind that would improve this lab, yet I would recommend eliminating the part that asked us “bloggers” to explain the pictures we choose. I am not trying to be offensive, but I found that section of the lab to be frivolous and unneeded. It brought me back to my high school days when our teacher assigned us “busy work” just so we would have to do more than what was properly needed.

In the future, I could research this topic further by learning how to post videos on to YouTube! Ironic? Funny? Yes, but it is an honest answer on how I could take this lab just one step further.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read this and allowing me to miss class on such an important date. I have enjoyed the class … more than I thought and am very appreciative of the interest you should in the topic. Hope you have a great summer and succeed in all you do!
