Our assignment for this week was to look at a project website for a previous COPLAC class and evaluate it. I visited the Midwestern State project cite from the class “INTO THE WOODS”: EXPERIMENTS IN COMMUNITY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND THE EXAMINED LIFE — FALL 2017. I visually enjoyed the website setup. The pages were clean and […]

So this week I struck out on another grand adventure to view other students’ website progress. First I visited JSU’s project website. I love the header image, as the building itself looking very 70’s, which relates to their project. Maybe adding some background information on JSU would be helpful for those of us unfamiliar with […]

So we have a website draft! While being very exciting, it is indeed very much a draft. Visually I like the simplicity of the site layout, and think it will help our images and text to stand out. Of course, now we need to add all our images and text. This is the bulk of […]

Yes, today I will be looking at my classmates final project websites. Or as I like to call it, authorized stalking. First stop is UMW’s project site. I like the basic design, and the colorful banner captures the spirit of the 1980’s. I do think there needs to be more explanation of what “local” is. […]

This week I am supposed to tell everyone about our current website. Well, we currently have a website. Just kidding, I inherited my dad’s sense of humor. Actually Emma and I met this morning and feel pretty good about where we are headed. Mostly I have been playing around with the WordPress tools. So nothing […]

So the prompt for this week is about images. It’s really fitting because our project will be heavily based on images. Our primary source for images will be school years books, but we also have some supplementary sources. These will be the school newspaper, magazines from my department’s archive, and one of our interviewee’s offered […]

So Emma and I decided to interview each other about fashion in our everyday lives. Using Audacity to record audio was fairly simple. Uploading the file was more difficult. My computer is a Chromebook, so Audacity does not work on it. We recorded the interviews on Emma’s computer. Then we had trouble uploading it to […]

Day three in the jungle, the jungle of making a blog post that is. Since we will probably be using Google Slide, I tried to create and upload a very simple one. Making the slide was not difficult. I followed the instructions on the Coplac Digital website to publish my one page slide show. Then […]

So I have done a lot of changes to the blog this week.  First I changed to the Hemingway theme, partly because my friends and I have been talking about Ernest Hemingway novels a lot this week.  I also like the Hemingway theme because it was very minimalist.  I changed the color scheme and added […]

My partner Emma and I thought fairly early on that our project would be related to our school, the University of Montevallo.  Montevallo has numerous, easily accessible archive materials that would assist us in our research.   Emma was the one who first suggested we look at the 80’s for our research project.  After I had […]
