REFLECTION PAGE - Lesson 2

.....................................................................
Week 2 - REFLECTION PAGE - Lesson 2

I found these chapters very intriguing. After taking the Graphics class with Dr. Simon and learning how to build a site, here in this class, I am learning the underbelly of the world of 'sites' and how they work, what works best for the site and the user, the intricate components that make the site the structure that it is including new terms to me which are great: chunks, breadcrumbs, findability, usability, lobster trapping (not the critter either), driftnetting, pearl growing, top down, bottom up, and IA Components:
Organizational systems-by subject or chronologically
Labeling systems-lay terminology
Navigational systems-browse move thru site
Searching systems-execute queries

As well as, browsing aids, searching aids, content, tasks, and invisible components.

The websites to review are amazing (as usual Dr. Simon, thank you) the Advanced Technology is eye candy for the computer nut.
I just want to spend hours pecking away at all the links and chunks and drop downs. Star Trek meets art girl in Yoda-land! yeah love this site.
