Building Communities from the Inside Out: A Path Toward Finding and Mobilizing a Community’s Assets - John P. Kretzmann or
Teaching the Commons: Place, Pride, and the Renewal of Local Schooling - Paul TheobaldThe Questions:
1. A reflective question–What do you think of Horizons blogging? What do you like, what do you dislike? What can the UI Horizons Team do to help improve the blogging experience?
A) I think the blogging experience has been great. It is easy enough and really doesn’t take much time (if i would just do it!!!). My dislikes are the fact that this site does not allow html codes. If you have ever had a MySpace account or something similar, you get to design your page, to your liking with thousands of different codes. It makes it fun and more individual. I also agree with K/J in their response that it would be nice to be able to use a picture of our area for our header (probably not their exact words but you get the idea). Also this site does not allow certain picture files to be uploaded. For instance I have a blackjack, camera phone, and it takes pretty good pictures, but once I send it to my computer and then try to upload it to this site it won’t take it. So outside of looking over our dislikes and seeing if they are reasonable and fixable, I am not sure how the team can improve. Oh, I do like the idea of the weekly questions, this could be fun!!!!
2. A scavenger hunt question (visit other community blogsites to find this answer) What is a PUG Mark and in which community would you find them?
A:) A pug mark (or pugmark) is what the print of a tiger paw is called. So, if you were out in the jungle and saw the tracks of a tiger, to appear oh-so-smart!, you would say “Hey, look! Pugmarks.”
This was copied and pasted from the Kendrick & Juliaetta site.
If I ever go to the jungle, or the zoo, I will remember this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Learn something new everyday!!!!!!!!! Thanks guys:)
So that is it for now, I have answered the questions and I will be catching up to speed here again soon.
