TWC301: Multimedia Writing

I didn't realize that my favorite link was already shared by Valerie! I'll post my second favorite link, too. I think that this site has a very concise approach of defining and giving examples of technical communication.

This was my favorite bookmarked relating to Chapter 1. It is quite comprehensive and touches on a lot of what was covered in the chapter. I find this very usefeul.

This is actually appears to be an online textbook for a technical writing course. I found that the introduction and many of the examples/models were great tools in helping to understand chapter 1. Also, I think the page in itself is a great example of technical writing.

Another concise, bullet-point site. My third site is here: http://www.proedit.com/technical_writing_process_steps.asp

This website is a comprehensive look and provides information on the key concepts and strategies of rhetorical thinking. Check out my blog for the other two sites/links I found:a glossary of rhetorical and critical thinking terms and the Society of Technical Communications - an organization we may all be a part of someday.

All great sites Osmara...thanks for sharing!

Whew...so far so good. But I did have trouble inserting the aniomoto video into my web page. Looks like everyone else figured it out:-)

I had trouble embedding the animoto video too. YouTUBE works fine though.

Loved your video, Osmara! I have found many people like 'us', returning to school after so many years. I was in retail for over 20 years (though that was 2 careers ago:-) Ended up as a regional manager for the Limited Stores, before the birth of my son changed all that (thankfully).

Here is my mindmap for D#1.1 HW#4

"Call it Web 2.0, or Enterprise 2.0; the fact of the matter is that online services just make more sense for businesses on a budget. Because these software platforms are web-based, users can use any computer to access them at work, at home or even on the road. They eliminate the need for expensive software and fewer IT employees are required for setup, updates and patches to systems. "

"Writing can be compelling by itself if you're willing to spend a little time making it so."
