Since I have a 7 hour drive tomorrow, I am posting my updates today. I started to build my presentation on a Google document.  This will provide the necessary connections that show that the two murders, though over 100 years apart, are not so different as the system is as perfect as we would like to…

Today in class I looked at my two timelines to see what options I had for showing them.  With the free subscription, my options are limited.  I can print the timelines, convert them to a CSV format (what’s that?), or change it to a PDF if I download a “Paparazzi” application.  I think my best…

Today, I decided to explore my sources more to see if there was any information that the Lizzie Borden Documentary didn’t cover.  I was happy to see that all of the information I had previously was correct and got even more details on the life and [possible] crime that Lizzie committed. I was surprised that…

After reviewing the previous year’s final projects, I was conflicted as to what type of story I should remix.  I don’t really have any attachments to fairy tails, and I may fail this class if I followed my moral compass and worked with conservative political topics.  Recently I watched the new lifetime movie “Lizzie Borden”…
