  • Brent Beaudry published a blog post Unit 6 Reflection December 26, 2020 - 2:28pm
    I decided to use unit 6 to incorporate an engaging cursor follower to make the cursor easier to track and more interesting to the main client: kids. I wanted an emoji to follow the mouse pointer. I found a great example of code at...
  • Brent Beaudry published a blog post Unit 5 Reflection December 26, 2020 - 2:27pm
    I have some experience in web development, although it was briefly a few years ago, so I have a little experience with Javascript already. I have also completed COMP268 (Intro to Java) and COMP266 (Intro to C++) so using programming language is...
  • Calvin Carley published a blog post Unit 4 - JS in the group COMP 266 December 21, 2020 - 12:31pm
    I chose a timer for my JavaScript. My personas do not have a lot of time and are typically stressed or anxious already. Having to “set a timer” is an extra step, possible causing more stress or panic as they are currently not able to...
  • Brent Beaudry published a blog post Unit 7 proposal December 21, 2020 - 9:06am
    The only API I can think of to integrate to a site such as I am building is the Google Maps API, to incorporate into an activity, and even that is questionable due to the security and privacy requirements. My proposal is to use Google Maps API in...

    It took me a bit to decide on the general outline for the site. I’m not very visually creative, so I have trouble picturing exactly how the site will look in the end. I decided on splitting up Vancouver Island into 5 different sections and...

  • Brent Beaudry published a blog post Unit 6 proposal December 19, 2020 - 12:40pm
    The jQuery idea is simply to make a custom cursor that will be interesting and engaging to the client. It will be styled using css, and will be larger and more colorful, which will be much more engaging to the typical client of the site. For the...

    Here's a short bit about on demand vs. spot instances, and management of "credits" on AWS Educate in general. First, the thing to remember is that the service is giving you a certain amount of credit for free, which is awesome and I'm thankful...

    Nicolosus and Dr. Dron, Thank you so much for your valuable insight into homeschooling. Your comments are highly appreciated and very valuable to me.
  • Jon Dron commented on a bookmark EdTech Books December 5, 2020 - 12:07pm

    Ya this pandemic has been hard on everyone... To summarize my school years, from K-5 I was in public school, from 6-12 I was homeschooled. I loved it! But I was also not your typical kid... I love to learn, and I learned at a faster rate than most...

    Hi Nicolosus, That's wonderful! Thanks and I look forward to hearing about your home schooling experience as a child. This is for my six-year-old girl. I am so afraid of this pandemic potentially spreading in schools.

    HI Michelle,   I know you were reaching out to Dr. Dron, but if I can help as well I would be glad to. I was homeschooled for the latter part of my school years and could maybe share some insight on the viewpoint of the children.
