Creately

This weeks project for me was so frustrating! I really did not enjoy this assignment at all. First of all the program was not easy to use. I watched a demo stating how it was handy and the benefits of using Creately. But it was NOT as simple as it stated. I got half way through and realized that I could not save my work, because I had not signed in. Once signing in, I then had to re-do what I had already started. Then it took me a very long time to figure out how to post it on my blog. Then I had to reformat it because it was too big. Then I had to edit and refigure it again. It was so frustrating!!! Previous assignments have been easy to work with and simple to understand, this was not. I'm not sure how I would be able to incorporate this into my teaching style. I could see it possibly being helpful in a business or college situation but for English, I don't believe that I would use it. This was the only site that I used so maybe the other sites would be simpler or easier to follow. But I would not recommend this for others use.

  1. I'm glad I didn't use Creately! I'm sorry you had such a hard time with it. It seems like Creately and Gliffy essentially do the same thing, you might try that program next time as I found it easier to navigate and use. The image you created looks very professional, so good job sticking with it and getting the assignment done!

  2. I used googlewave and it was pretty simple. Sorry this assignment was difficult for you. Even though you had a difficult time it turned out looking very nice.
