Day Four


                Today, we began by discussing the application (rather than document) centric nature of applications for notebooks such as the iPod as well as the use of Object Oriented Programming to create these apps. During this discussion of apps, we evaluated DuoLingo for foreign language students, ProLoquo for those requiring speech assistive software, and Quizlet for those desiring to create digital flash cards. I discovered a set of theological terminology flashcards on Quizlet which may be useful to my students: https://quizlet.com/86304526/grudem-systematic-theology-terms-flash-cards/
                Subsequently, we learned about the Sokal affair which highlights the ever present tension between the life/physical sciences and the social sciences. We also learned to create Smart Art (for concept maps and flow diagrams) within MS Word as well as the procedure for creating a Table of Contents with heading styles from the References, Insert, Table of Contents feature: https://youtu.be/EMVv-Pnil3M Likewise, we reviewed the process for linking tables and page numbers to auto update with the cross-reference feature, the text analog of link objects for graphics: https://youtu.be/JtC8liqxOyU Finally, we discussed the review-compare option which allows users to compare differences in revised papers and reviewed the process for creating links with in Power Point for multi-page presentations. The pipe key which appears above the enter key is used to create separations between previous, first, and next last links in such presentations.
                We also created dual track radio dramas with Audacity; I was reminded of multi-track audio-visual performances: https://youtu.be/L0wTDn2X5tg
