You finally link to the class blog! However, I have a question: Is this post an article annotation? "Emerging technologies" belong to the website review assignment.
For the website review, you need to explore one of the "emerging technolgies" listed in the article and write down your review. For article annotations, you must select the articles from assigned articles. Which one is it?
Please also refer to the syllabus:
1. Annotations. Your writing should focus on thoughtful responses, ideas critiques, and/or diverse points of view on a topic.
2.Website reviews. Each review should include a description of the online environment, materials and tasks, and your evaluation of their usefulness (or advantages/disadvantages) for its target audiences. If it is a blog, then aach review should focus on how and why you interact with the content of the blog and the blogger over that content.
