| − | Brooke's time was mainly spent researching the app | + | Brooke's time was mainly spent researching the app. I downloaded the app onto my iPad and spent an extensive amount of time going through the different features of it. As a fairly new reader to The Waste Land, it was very helpful and interesting to me, as that is what the app is designed for. I really enjoyed the different video perspectives on The Waste Land. Watching them truly helped me understand The Waste Land more thoroughly. I also listened to many of the different readings of it. I especially enjoyed comparing the two different T.S. Elliot readings. I learned a lot about not only T.S. Elliot's writing process, but his editor Ezra Pound and the many influences of the poem. I also learned about what a great effect it had on other authors, and even musicians. I had a lot of difficulties originally with the HDML format. It is not a format I'm used to and it took me a while to get comfortable with it. I attempted to load photos from the app but was so far unsuccessful. I had difficulty getting the screenshots from my iPad to properly format onto my computer and onto the Wiki page. I am going to continue to try to load photos. Hopefully it will work before class tomorrow. This work was similar to my other English projects in that it invoked a lot of research and writing. It differed a lot, however, in its format and the type of work I had to do. I really enjoy using my iPad for academic purposes, so I was excited to expand upon that. I wish that i had the app when I did my original reading for class of The Waste Land. I hope to find more such technology to aid my English studies. |
