w00t NBA Finals are here!!!
Eastern Conference Champions Boston Celtics vs Western Conference Champions Los Angeles Lakers
this matchup has revived the Rivalry of the Celtics and Lakers from the 1980’s.
I’m rooting for the celtics, and I don’t think anyone wants a Championship ring more than Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce, they are all experienced veterans, who deserve a ring but were not given a chance before. But now they have. They are all close to becoming world champions, and I don’t think Garnett will let a Ring slip off his finger, but the game will be very rugged, facing the Lakers. Lakers dominated the defending champions in 4 games to 1. If they want to compete with Boston they have to perform at their very best. If Boston Shutsdown Kobe bryant, The series will favor boston, but if kobe gets going early on in the series, it would give the Lakers momentum to beat boston.
In my opinion
Celtics Win in Game 7
4-3

Progress Part 4
Here’s what I accomplished this week:
During this week I’ve made alot of changes to my advisor’s blog. I’ve originally had 6 different pages, with different info on each, but with some helpful advice from Mr. Stengel I’ve changed it completely. I only have 3 pages now, an FAQ section, a Cooking Equipment page, and a Homework Calendar. I’ve also added more categories, so the blog is more usable, and less cramped. I’ve got a majority of the cooking definitions finished, but I had to stop shortly, because I misplaced the list.
Here’s what I plan to work on next (Be specific on short term goals):
I have 4 more things to teach my advisor next. Since schools coming to an end, I have to work at a faster rate. So by next week, I have planned to finish the cooking definitions and finish a cooking procedure post. Next I’m going to embed a Poll and Survey into her blog to her liking and show her how to use google calendar.
Here’s my complete and current to do list for the completion of the project (Be specific on long term goals):
80% Completed
- Teach my advisor how to use all of the blog’s functions so, she can use it without much assistance.
- After getting enough information on what my advisor wants, I will search for widgets or media relative to the class, and save it.
- Personalize the Blog to her liking, and then add the content
- Finally Review the Blog over with my advisor

During this past week I’ve learned about Survey’s and Polls. Survey’s and Polls are very important in any webpage, because it is a social interaction tool that helps the Creator know how the visitors feel about a specific topic. Polls can be about anything, with no correct answer, it is just letting people voice their opinion. I’ve added a new catergory called Polls and Surveys, Although I haven’t made a survey yet, I’ve made a poll about basketball. I like this tool alot, the code that i’ve embedded on that page came from a very cool site called PollDaddy.com you can either be a member for free or pay to get bonus features. Top companies use this application on their websites such as FOX news network, PC World, and many others.
Also, I’ve noticed a big change in EduBlogs. Hooray!! Its a new version!! Yes Edublogs 3.0 is out and better than ever. It’ll take some time to adapt to this new setting, but Overall I think its a good change, before everything was clustered in different tabs, but now there is few tabs and it has improved its usability alot.

Here’s what I accomplished this week:
During this week, I’ve learned how to add a PodCast to blogs but I haven’t added it to my advisor’s blog yet. ( I will explain this later on) I’ve added alot of information and images about Cooking Equipment, but haven’t finished adding it all yet. There is still alot of content to be covered.
Here’s what I plan to work on next (Be specific on short term goals):
I still haven’t showed her the blog functions because she has been busy lately, so i plan on doing my tutorial videos soon, so that she has a basic understanding of how Edublogs work and how to do simple tasks like posting writing etc. She gave me alot of content to put on to the pages (Cooking Procedures and Cooking Equipment), I plan on finishing all of that soon.
Here’s my complete and current to do list for the completion of the project (Be specific on long term goals):

During this past week I’ve learned about Pod Casts, and how to make my blog posts have an audio version so people can listen to my blog from home or on their mobile devices. I also added a table on to my portfolio page. It keeps most of all my content and projects organized and very usable. I think it is a very effective way to display info, and is very convenient. Overall I think this week was a breeze because nothing was too easy or too difficult.

This week I have learned on how to apply Google’s Calendar application on to my teachers blog. This program is essential for her class, she’ll be able to post assignments over this calendar so it is more convenient for students to see homework assignments. I’ve put the widgets that she asked for on her website.
Here’s what I plan to work on next (Be specific on short term goals):

Also I need to work on 2 Tutorial Videos, that I plan on doing. One is going to teach her how to use the Google Calendar and the basics of posting information and such on her blog.

During this week, We have learned about using special google applications. One of them is Google Calendar, it is a web application offered by google. It allows users to organize their contacts and manage their schedule. This calendar is a great tool for students and teachers to interact with each other. When students needs to find out tonight’s homework assignment or last week’s assignment that he/she missed they can check their teacher’g google calendar and find out.
Besides from that Google has many other applications that are quite useful such as Google Documents, which allows users to create and edit documents, either using word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation. Another application is Google Photos which is like a image hosting application and Lastly Google Reader, is a reader that is capable of reading XML internet language and RSS feeds.

Here’s what I accomplished this week:
During this week I have learned a lot about widgets, and so far I have gathered 4 widgets
That is most useful for a cooking teacher, and fun and interactive with students. I’ve also talked to my Advisor this week, to see what kind of a blog she wants, and I managed to get a slight understanding of what she wants. I don’t know if I’ll do well, but I’ll try my best.
Make sure you look at or listen to this:
I dont really understand this question. But I’ll just ask you to look at your emails because I cc’ed you some of my emails with mrs. warfield.
Here’s what I plan to work on next (Be specific on short term goals):
Next week I plan to get more information on what she needs, so I can start looking for widgets or media that I can use for her website. Brainstorm ideas for the required 5 pages. Put some content on her pages. I dont want to rush anything, I just want to take steps to get every piece done.
Here’s my complete and current to do list for the completion of the project (Be specific on long term goals):
