Week of December 4th

It was really interesting learning how to set up websites and create animations last week. It was a little frustrating learning how to work with the programming at first, but once I got the idea it was really very logical. It was also a little tricky learning to save my work to the correct remote files so I could find it later, but now that I know how to do that correctly I think it will be very useful. Scratch has also been fun to play with but certain aspects of it seem a little glitchy or at least not entirely intuitive. Also, the first time I made an entire animation it for some reason didn't save correctly and reverted back to the un-constumed un-animated sprite when I went back to it the next day.

Our annotated bibliographies were also due. It was interesting to write about the sources I found because it made me realize how limited truly reliable information still is. Although their are tons of website specifically about drones and the affect of flying UAVs on pilots, it was very difficult to find books or scholarly articles that related to that topic. Finding highly reliable information is a much more time consuming and difficult process than just looking something up on the internet, but I found that it made me think a lot harder about the topic than I would have had I just looked at a few websites that discussed and provided an opinion specifically on my topic.
