Initial reflection and goal setting: Mid-semester reflection: Interview with a technology use: [|Interview with my younger brother.] Personal use project:

Reflection: Originally, when I decided to do a travel journal, I wanted to create one for my last trip to Florence. But when I got on the site and started playing around I decided to get set up for my up coming trip. I really love this tool because it allows you to map out your trip using the "world map" app. You have access to the entire globe and you can zoom in super close to mark specific cities that you plan to visit or have visited. Once you have marked your travel spots, you can click on a particular city and write your "travel journal" entry for that location. I really love that it shows the map with all of your destinations next to your entry with a little flag marking the actual place you are talking about. This site is incredibly easy to use and allows you to up load pictures to include with your entries. It takes no time at all to sign up and get started. The only slight annoyance is that I haven't figured out how to show people pages without having them join the site. While I'm working on that I am going to have my family and a few friends join so they can keep track of my adventures while I'm gone. Other cool features are the visitor statistics and the e-card option. Visitor Statistics show you who has visited your page and where in the world they are from. The e-card application allows you to turn your travel photos into online post cards to send to your family and friends. Overall, I am really glad I tried this tool. I can't wait to use it on my trip and on trips to come.
