More Problems
Today was the second last lesson of IST with Mr. Lennon before the assignment is due. We were showing sir our presentation and asking for advice. Sir said the following:
We might lose some marks because our navigation isnt that easy to follow, sometimes you cannot see the words due to the dark background and the the dark writing. Therefore I decided to change my background into a lighter colour. We are deciding on how to make our navigation easier for the audience to follow, so we dont loose marks.
Sir also advised us to make our text boxes larger so the viewer doesnt have any problem.
Due to some of these problems, we are changing things around and satisfying the marking guidelines.

Problems
When i finish one topic I usually go to the preview button just to see how it looks like and if I missed anything. Nowadays when I go and see, I recall seeing that the menyu bar doesnt fit into the screen size, i mean its still there but to see it we either need to scroll up or down. I am worried because the criteria specifically states that your ebook must be easy to navigate. I am worried that sir might take marks off. At the moment I am regretting to use wix, I should have used powerpoint. :(
Assignment Post 7
Now that it is the weekend I can finally finish my ist assignment. I only have one more topic left which is primary sources. And that will be done by monday. Therefore on monday and tuesday I can work on my tasks and trying to keep my blog up to date :)
PERFECT!!!
PERFECT!!!

Justification
For this assignment we were supposed to use powerpoint. But some particular students(including me) wanted to use WIX, which is a presentation online tool. I wanted to use wix instead of powerpoint due to these reason:
This is another good point about wix. Since this project focuses on navigation through your ebook, I think that wix, gives us various options such as buttons and pictures which link to other pages, which makes navigation throughout the ebook easier.
(there is more information on the older post made that is called "why I choose wix", to preview more information.
- Due to the creatively and the use of style.
- ability to collaborate
- ease of use
- versatility

Assignment Post 6
I am only going to use some of it for the ebook, nowadays we are having some difficulties with the speed of our school's internet. Since there are sometimes 2 classes using the computers, and so many students in our class all trying to log on to wix at the same time, the internet speed has come really slow. This is creating various amounts of problems, since the due date is coming near and no one in our class has finished therefore we all desperately want to do our work. We cannotblame any one for this but ourselves, since Mr. Lennon explained to us at the beginning of this term that not everyone can asscess wix at the same time, therefore there can be some problems. Oh well the best we can do is get to class on time and try and log in before others.
2 MINUTES LATER
YEAHHHHHH we got an extension ! YES!!!! Sir said if you need it you can have an extension until tuesday! YESSSS! thank god, now I can get it done!
THANKS SIR!!!
