Client Meeting

Design and layout I think that my design is a bit similar although i modified it because before, i didn't know what exact designs we need so i can say that i stuck to the main design, i only changed the details.

topic and research
well i have done a lot of research because my topic which is wild fire has a minimum information so i kind of wasted almost three lessons searching, i also worked on my i web and so far I am in my third or fourth page.

color, font, multimedia
till this momment, i have the font which is red for the fire color and the font which is used is Arial but what im really want to use is a font which matches with fire. The multimedia that i used is a little because i cant embed videos, some technical problems occurred.

Does it have five pages?
 yes, it actually have seven pages

features of iweb. -what is working iweb have a lot of features but, right now im only using font, color and some of multimedia and so far they all are working. -what is not working the HTML snippet and the navigation bottoms.

embedding
well right now i did not use embedding or widget because my iweb is having technical problems.

A widget is a small program run by the Mac OS X Dashboard or the Yahoo! Widget Engine. Dashboard is only available on Macintosh computers, while the Yahoo! Widget Engine is available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms. Dashboard and Yahoo! widgets are not compatible with each other, so similar widgets must be created separately for each widget engine.

emergency plan
yes i have an emergency plan and its completed and yes i have a reference page.


here is a screen shot of my delicious and google documents

Look at and Review over websites listed below. Answer questions in your blog what did you like about the website? Compare and contrast with another website. Features, buttons, colors, layout, multimedia

http://www.redbloodclub.net/

well the website is a searching site sort of like Google, its organized, clean and easy to use. the website is made by an effort, not a lot but, it can be called one although, the name is quite strange and ugly, red blood club, that's in my opinion is dumb other than that, the search has a few information and only under the search bottom and i have to say its not all accurate so, i would say its not recommended, the owner doesn't want to improve it so, bad website it is in my opinion.

http://www.hrodc.com/

you can see that this site is being approved but, because its a big site, it has a lot of informations, the site got crowed and untidy beside the poor layout, its boring, ugly and no effort was put in with this site. the site is also very crowded so when you go to search you get confused which leads you to close down.

http://www.fast-cars-uk.com/

you can see that the layout and farm is cool, shaded, in another words, fully animated which means a lot of effort was put in the website. the website title matches all the informations that they put in the web, you can also see that its not completely useless, it has shop feature for buying cars although, i do not know if its a scamming site or not but, ill give it thumbs up anyways.

http://www.henkel.com/cps/rde/xchg/

you can see again that layout absolutely pleasing, its tidy, not crowded, they provided enough informations about the site and briefly. you can also see that the site is talking about a man and his business or speeches. i would give it ok mark.

Which communication forms are synchronous?
Synchronous means instant or fast so, basically they are like messenger, phone, instant text messaging, chat, forums and so on. you can see that those kind of communications are the sort of communications that two people can speak or type the same times unlike emails, you must wait and read in order to give a reply.

Which ones are asynchronous?
Asynchronous means not instant, slow so, basically its something like email, where two people cant talk or type the same time. these are used in buisniss or university.the new generation dont use email anymore because of its slowness and they are also always in a hurry.

What type of information would be conveyed by each form?
synchronous devices can be used in emergency or disasters that strikes, they use it because its fast and instants unlike asynchronous. Asynchronous especially email is often used in buisniss or colleges, university or registration online. so baisically asynchronous is used in non emergencies.

What is needed in hardware and software for each?
we need the following hardware.

monitor



keyboard









mouse





Remove Formatting from selection

What information can be created before the emergency?

some countries usually gets a lot of earth quakes, floods, etc. so you should provide the past emergency with the details and what chances that can happen again. In this case, if the disaster happen again, you should be prepared for it right away. you may also need to provide the information i mentioned in the previous post.
What essential information needs to be communicated during a disaster or emergency?

the most important information when a natural disaster strikes is, where it happened, when it happened and how many people where angered so they know how much supporting is needed. if you provide those information you can get replies easy and fast beside, you will be saving a lot of life's.

Why is communication so important during an emergency?

Its very important for many reasons but, the main reason is saving life, communication is really important to save others life's. can you imagine the world with no internet, no you can not, not because you cant play anymore, it is because you can not search, phone, communicate at all!. we can use internet in emergency in order to inform others really fast so no life's are wasted. in the old times, when people had no internet they had to run or ride a horse to go to anyone who can help, in other words Internet is important more that what you think!!!.
