The professor needed a game show-type of interactive panel that he could use to quiz his class with. After choosing a class, question and contestant, a question will appear with the answer hidden. The student can answer the question out loud, and the “host” can highlight the answer on the page to see if they are right.

Near the bottom are sound effects that can be used as timers, and also as right and wrong indicators.

The assignment was to use research an emerging technology and determine whether or not it is a part of or a form of the public sphere.

This page takes a term that is input by the user, and displays results of a search for that term from Twitter, Google and Technorati blog search. In theory, these three popular sources will give a glimpse at the general discourse of that term on the internet.

One of the first lessones we learned was the acronym of C.R.A.P., which stood for contrast, repitition, alignment and proximity. The website appears to have none of these at first glance. Clicking on the letters of the acronym in order from left to right will add these elements via a stylesheet switcher.

I designed a logo for the class and also added other pages highlighting some of my favorite subjects taught in the class.

It is the only bracket tree I know of that uses what I believe to be semantic, structural HTML code. Each branch of the tree is a list nested list item, and the entire bracket is one giant list. Turning off stylesheets in your browsers will show how the lists are structured.

The assignment was to pick a technology, research it’s beginnings, and to present those findings in a way that is creative. This was my answer to those who went the tried-and-true (but boring) Powerpoint route with their presentations.

I enjoyed experimenting with the dark background and the transparent PNG logo.
