For this Web Assignment we were asked to take any web page of our choice and alter the content of that web page (content, images) to make it tell a new story. Here is the screen shot of the page web page I chose to alter. (Just click on the image to see the details)

Bianca's Secret

Do you ever wish that your eye color was different? Hate having to spend money every year on color contacts? Wish that you could change your eye color anytime you wanted to??? Well here is your perfect solution! There is now a new product being sold on Amazon known as Bianca’s Secret/Inoxxa Eye Color Changing Droplets. These magic droplets will change your eye color to any of our selections (brown, blue, hazel, green, or grey) in 24 hours after being applied! Just use 2-3 drops within 24 hours of opening (refrigerate the bottle afterwards to use multiple times) and your on your way to the eye color you have always wanted! No hassle! No limits! And you can change your eye color anytime you want!

I got the inspiration for this story basically from myself. I sometimes wear colored contacts and I am constantly changing up the colors I buy every year. It would be so convenient if there was a easier way to go about changing my eye color. Viola! The inspiration for my magic eye droplets!

For this assignment I used the X-ray Goggles Tool. I added the tool to my bookmarks tab and once I activated it everything after was a go! I originally thought this assignment was going to be super hard. But after doing the tutorial on the website making changes to the web page was a breeze! The only sad thing about this is that I wish my product was actually real! = (

In this assignment we were asked to make a fakebook and twist of a historical figure. I chose John F. Kennedy. He was the 35th president of the USA and he is my favorite president. He was a good president and very smart. He was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas Texas. Kennedy was famous for his quotes and I think he would have used Facebook and Twitter to post his quotes or anything interesting going on during his presidency. Here is his Fakebook and Twister.

This 3 star assignment was to create a fake Facebook and Tweet for a historical person. I chose to make a profile for Sigmund Freud. He had so many achievements and accomplishments that Facebook and Twitter would have been a great way to socialize and gets his ideas across. Now a days people use these networks to boast about their lives, well Sigmund Freud would have had many posts on his accomplishments and  awards, as well as so many interesting arguments and with his fellow friends on record about all their theories.

Check out Sigmund Freud’s Fakebook and Twister!

For the Google History Maps Story assignment I chose to depict the Oregon Trail. I’m a history major focusing on US History and to me for this assignment it was obvious to portray the Oregon Trail, one of the most famous treks in US history. I was not able to use every point in the trail because many of them don’t exist anymore, so I had to fudge it a little and get to the closest point possible. Looking at it on google maps its amazing people were able to make the journey across the country without cars, air conditioning, Holiday Inns, and McDonalds.
