Kyle’s Project Review

Kyle’s project was fantastic! I was really impressed with his website and twitter feed. His video clip/map was entertaining also, however I agree with the prof about the song choice, perhaps another would be good.

After exploring his site, I really liked the graphics and visual effects of the page. The transitions are very attractive, and the pictures keep the interest between the content. The content is great too, utilizing the primary sources to offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the regiment. His twitter feed is useful for dates and first person experiences. It is very evident that he did considerable research into this regiment, and that his source was highly informative.

I also really liked that he had his twitter feed subscribe button on his site in a very accessible location, available through each page. His home page is fantastic in that it offers a glimpse into what the site has to offer, further research opportunities and the interactive map giving a short but complete guide to the movements of the regiment through the war.

Overall, I think Kyle’s documentation and presentation of the information he had was produced into an accurate, vivid portrayal of events with high levels of interest maintained through multimedia throughout the website. His twitter feed adds a great deal to the experience of the soldiers during the war, and brings social media as an additional connection to his site.

Great job Kyle!
