Final Project

Love is often in many places, but true love is sometimes hard to find. Dinner and a movie is a hypertext interactive work created in google sites. Google presentation was used as well as Prezi. There are several external links to you tube videos, audio clips and informative websites. There are both fiction and non-fiction characteristics and some opportunities for the reader to post their own comments. Its primary theme is that of a dinner and movie date. Love and familiarizing with one another is also a recurring primary theme. Secondary themes include, astronomy, social justice, past/ present concepts, music and water. Navigation can be reader directed as the pages are listed on the left tab. The reader can also simply follow the links within the texts and images and ignore the site tabs. Enjoy!

Final Blog

I have truly enjoyed every minute of this class and have grown both professionally and personally throughout its entirety. I believe that electronic literature has a language of its own which is grounded upon the solid foundations of written and spoken language, visual imagery, artistic expression and technology code. Like any other language, E-Lit has its own degrees and forms of literacy. It also needs to be utilized on a regular basis to ensure that the user will never lose their skills, or fluency and to help keep them up to date with ongoing changes. Although I may have had strengths and weaknesses, trials and tribulations in any given area at any given time, I still savored every moment interacting with the digital works and with all of our classmates and leaders in the field during our cooperative learning sessions. Thank you Dr. Zamora, and thank you all for such an engaging and wonderful learning experience for myself and the students and teachers I serve.
