ALL THIS JUNK

This assignment has really got me thinking about e-waste and what a mess our planet is in. These statistics are shocking. I don't know what to say really except people need to be made aware about what is going on. I had no idea.

Don't forget to check out our website at http://www.ewastestinks.yolasite.com/

IS THAT TRUE

WEEK 10

We have been adding some information on our website individually, now it is the time for us to discuss how we will present our presentation on 20th May 2011. we are going to meet at seminar room 5 on Monday 16th May 2011 to do the final touches. it has been a great experience in learning how to create our own website. we believe that in future we will create our s without our lecturer's help. You can visit us on www.ewastestinks.yolasite.com

Food for thought

The next time you feel like complainin​g, remember your dustbin eats better than 30% of the world

Week 10

Four tests in one week - and it's not even exam week.
Cannot believe we have 3 weeks of lectures left for this semester.

Keep calm and study on

Yola

I really don't like using Yola to make our webiste. It is easy in the way that you just click and add, but I don't think that it is very functional. I don't like the style of the web making site and it is difficult to follow any sort of design principles.  It is also really difficult to add text on a working page.

Anyways, that was just a few of my thoughts about Yola for now

Awww the time has come for exams...bleh...well i just want to wish you all the best for your exams

You make me sick

                                       WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OUR PLANET????

Accounting test on Monday. Go BiG oR gO HoMe

E-waste Stinks

2nd most toxic places to live in the world: Citarum River, Indonesia
The Citarum has been called the world’s most polluted river. Around five million people live in the river’s basin, and most of them rely on its flow for their water supply.

Researching our e-waste assignment has been quite and eye opener.

Do you recycle? I do.

Looking 4ward to the beerfest today :).

See you there!

Visit our E-waste site on www.ewastestinks.yolasite.com

This week we looked at how we could improve our site.
Firstly, we delicated tasks to each group member.
Secondly, we each started working on our specific tasks, e.g. adding pictures to the gallery.
Lastly, we found that we where able to change certain background styles so we are looking to work on that ASAP.

tough luck,the exam was tough

HOME SWEET HOMEPAGE

Come visit our new website at: http://www.ewastestinks.yolasite.com/

We had a lot of fun making our website in class last Friday. It was sooooo simple too (even my dad could make one and he doesn't even know how to use a cellphone).

 These are the simple steps we took to make our fab site.

1.  Opened the website making page of  http://www.yola.com/
2. Registered for an account which was as simple as providing an email address.
3. Chose which category our website would fall under (education for us).
4. Decided on the style of the website (we went with minimalistic), and added our info (email, blog addy etc).
5. We took a photo of everyone in our group, DJKsquared and uploaded it to our website.
6. The last step we took before going live was choosing a domain name. We went with ewastestinks, because of the play on the word "stinks" and it made us laugh every time we said it :)

Quote of the day

"don't count the days-make the days count!"

Things that drive me nuts at Monash University

1. People leaving their litter everywhere

2. Not being able to work in the library due to noise

3. Disrespect by students for school property.

But I am very grateful to be able to attend this school here.

That's just me.What do you love/hate about this university?

My School. My Monash

Monash South Africa
