Expanding my Topic

I think for my podcast I am going to go into the direction of talking about Highschool Bowling and how it doesnt get the credit, or recognition it deserves. My highschool didnt even recongnize it as a sport and when I bought my own letter for my lettermans jacket, they wanted me to remove it because it wasnt recognized. Of course I didnt and had a few choice words with some people. Indiana is working on passing a bill to make Bowling a Sanctioned School Sport, but there has to be a certain amount of school that have bowling teams before the State can do anything about it so right now it is up to the school to recognize it, and many dont.

♦Hows the project going ♦

So I have found a lot of cool stuff. I have a long list of local bowling alleys and their phone numbers. If they have a web site I plan on making their name a link to there page which will be pretty cool. This way you dont have to search for them there all in a nice Table! I also found the history of bowling and it is over 5,000 years old. I have a lot of bowling gear and equipment pages as well as proshop pages that will be links in my web text as well.

My web text is comming along I guess. I have all the information I need and its all organized in my head, but I have no idea how to work this dream weaver thing and I dont have it on my computer at home so I pretty much waste time trying to figure out how the heck to do stuff which is aggervating. I have some really cool ideas for my web text but im not going to spend like 20 min of class trying to figure out how to do one thing.

The only thing I want to go over in my meeting is how to do stuff like putting in links and stuff because I want to make sure it is going to work right. Other than that I should be good.

Webtxt proposal

I did my proposal on Bowling. I am going to do the history of bowling, equipment used, and where you can go. I am using websites and videos to aid my topic.

Online Reading Overview and Topic

Lauren S. and I read the article about "Literacy." It was very boring and was hard to read mainly because the author wrote it as an opinion paper with some facts. There was way to much "I believe", "In my opinion" ,and "My experience." I really was not interested in what this guy thinks. I did however agree with some of the points he brought up. In today's society you kind of have to have some knowledge about technology. Every where we go and almost everything we do involves technology in some way. Our cars, cell phones, self-checkouts at stores, ATMs, credit cards, gas pumps, computers, calculators the list goes on and on. I think the article posses a great point, but it is possible to get the point across in a much shorter and more attention grabbing way. He talks about all this new technology why not use some to prove his point??

On a more interesting note I think for my web thingy I am going to do something with bowling. Probably explain the sport a little bit and talk about how it is growing. I can add the links for all the surrounding bowling alleys and pro-shops. I have been bowling since I was 4 so I know a lot about, I am good at it, and it is something that interests me.
