Podcast Possibility.

As for the podcast project, I think I have a few ideas that come to mind. Those ideas consist of maybe talking about a specific kind of wildlife specie like either the giant panda or the pink dolphin. It would be really neat to base my podcast on a unique animal such as the pink dolphin and how some say the animal is rare yet soon to be extinct. I even wouldn't mind talking about global issues such as the going green trend or climate change. I'm really not even sure if I really want to stay on the topic of my Webtext subject, but if we have to then I would choose between one of those ideas. However, if we don't have to stay on the subject of our Webtext then I wouldn't mind talking about music, a t.v. show,a book, or a recent/upcoming movie.

How's the Webtext going?

Personally, I would have to see that so far this project is quite unique and creative on my part. It's going to have me written all over it. In developing my webtext, I found a couple of neat things that I think I'm going to use on my webtext. For instance, a WWF commercial, possibly a podcast, and some really ordinary photographs that will definately make you laugh yet look twice. Also it's amazing how many wildlife volunteer programs they have around the world.

As the webtext itself, it's so far, so good. My webtext is moving along slowly but surly. I think I know what I'm doing but I started having difficulties writing over the weekend! I just sometimes get confused on which way I wanted to write about my topic. More or less informational or personal experience. I thought I would use a little bit of both. However, then I felt it was to "all over the place." I pretty much have everything down on what I want to say and how I want to construct it. Though I have so many thoughts in my head that I can't put it into words!

Webtext Proposal.

This is Megan and Monday during class I never showed my powerpoint proposal. However, I planned on doing my webtext on the World Wildlife Foundation. Basically explaining brief history about the foundation, what they do, and how you can help or even get in involved!

Reaction to Webzine and Potential Interest.

In my group we discussed "Why Gen Y Is Going to Change the Web." Overall, I also thought it was the most interesting. It was really appealing how they talked about everything from how our generation has a short attention span from how one day we are going to be in the future needing help from the new generation in which we used to be. It was also interesting how it was stated that the digitial natives are so overly composed with Ipods, t.v., surfing the web, etc but we don't care what people think of us.
My possible potential interest for a Webzine would have to be something to do with the new trend of going green. Such as recycling, reducing, and reusing. It would be neat to talk about ecology, the conservation of the world, nature, and how to improve the environment overall. Maybe talking about harmful effects of pollution, talking about global warming, what companies are taking stand, and how you can help.
