For my next assignment, I chose to create my dream vacation in the form of a Pinterest board. I have a Pinterest obsession, so this was not hard to do.

At my first glance of this week, I was intimidated especially by the required web assignment and creating a story around my daily creates, but at the end of the week, it turns out the assignments were not to difficult, maybe other than the web assignment. Anyways, here they are. The required web assignment: My […]

This assignment looked confusing and difficult at first glance, but after reading the information provided and downloading the tools recommended, I got it… sort of.
