Good vs. Bad Website

                         What platform should I use to build my own website? - The Arts Development Company

    
    In the Livebinder assignment, I was able to get a good grasp on what makes websites good or bad. There are multiple different reasons for a website to be good. A good website must have 4 fundamental principles. These include purpose, aesthetically pleasing, relevance, solid content, and clear navigation. All good websites should also have a good design (visual & technical), good tools, and Google Analytics.

    I decided to cover local businesses' websites. I based it on two local restaurants, No Reservations and Freddy J's. Freddy J's has a good website. The website is aesthetically pleasing with different images and relevant colors for the brand. The tabs on the site are also very well organized, I find it very easy to use the website to find the information I need. On the opposing side, No Reservations could use an upgrade on their website. The website is simple but lacks solid content and navigation.

    I like how you connected it back to the fundamentals behind a good website rather than just giving a summary of what you presented. I also like that for your presentation you navigated us through the sight rather than just making it a power point. I definitely see where no reservations takes the cake on their website design, and thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely be trying!

App Smackdown: Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is an application created in 1988 for macOS and Windows to edit and create images and graphics. Photoshop allows users to create digital works of art! Almost all companies use Adobe Photoshop, which is a required skill in advertising and marketing. This app is available on different forms of technology such as desktops, laptops, iPads, and smartphones. Photoshop has been handy in my recent positions as a social media intern and social media manager. I have been able to edit headshots, edit action photos of athletes in action, create graphics for social media, create graphics for live stream use, and much more! It is extra helpful that so many different features are all in one application! I can't wait to further my own knowledge on the app as my career takes off!

Chapter 4 Summary

  Chapter four,   Building a Collaborative Culture , starts off by talking about how important collaboration is. Collaboration can be extremely useful, especially in the field of public relations. When collaborating with others, everyone has to be willing to center "the focus on culture and the importance of shared ideals." ( Hall and Nussbaum-Beach, p. 58). Everyone has to work as a team.

This chapter emphasizes the fact that relationships need to be maintained in order to be successful. An important aspect of professional relationships is establishing trust. "Trust, empathy, and reciprocity bond members together in any community or social setting." (Hall and Nussbaum-Beach, p.60).

Chapter 5 Summary

          There have been so many different tools that I have used throughout my educational career. Growing up, my generation was one of the first to have technology at our fingertips throughout our K-12 years.  "Tools should be employed to aid the learning," (pg. 73  Nussbaum-Beach & Hall, 2012).   The chapter explains that Web 2.0 tools are not useful to users unless they understand how the application/tool is helping them learn. You should always understand the benefits of the tool before use. For example, I explored the use of Canva before downloading and buying the pro version. In the book, the author gives us insight into a website called Delicious.com. This website is a tool to organize tagged websites This is a valuable tool for a learning community to connect and see what research is going on within the community. Subscribing to others in your network can be very convenient because once you are subscribed you will be able to see what others have recently tagged.
