- What part of using Scalar felt easiest, or most intuitive to you? Why do you think that was?
The parts of scalar that felt the easiest / most intuitive to us were uploading and embedding media because we are used to using programs such as Google slides and when we create our blogs adding media is much similar to this setting . Also to add a page was also easy as we are used to this function as well.
- What part of using Scalar felt most difficult or confusing? Were you able to resolve the problem, or are you still stuck?
The videos were quite explanatory and helpful although one confusing part that came off quite overwhelming was navigating the difference between insert scalar media link and interest inline scalar media link.
- Of all the features covered in the videos, which are you most excited to apply to your project?
We’re most excited to apply the use of adding annotations and media.
- Finally, try to map out the pages and paths you will need to build in our workshop next week:
- Consider what kinds of images, links, and annotations you may need to draft (keeping in mind images need to be their own pages, same for annotations).
We will be needing images of the pages we are discussing, other links to recommend children’s books and other supported readings. Our annotations would be our own analysis of specific parts we want readers to pay attention to ,or any other commentary .
- Make a list of what kinds of information you need to gather and/or write up (e.g. introduction, sources, metadata)
Introduction; annotate the pages of our primary source; summary of the 6 scholarly sources and connecting it back to the primary source
- List the kinds of layouts you may want to include in your project
Image and media layout or the regular scalar default layout
- Draft your table of contents, including any subsections that branch out from other pages
Table of Contents:
· Introduction
· Experiment with a Zebra
· The Jungle at Last
· The Uses of a Pebble
· We Are All Proud of You· Thematic Analysis Bibliography

Hi Diamond,
I also agree that uploading and embedding media was quite easy because we are already familiar with its process. It is also great to see you guys include multiple readings or other children’s books (on top of the 6 scholarly articles) because I think most of us are just using the one reading with multiple sources surrounding and supporting it (at least for me, that’s the case). Also, because I’m unfamiliar with these readings, I would like to know what they all are about in terms of the wider themes. In other words, are they all connected? How are they connected?
Hey Daimon, I agree that adding media and pictures was very light and see; I also did find myself enjoying a unique structure of designing. I also enjoyed either designing websites or small books online. But creating something like this is new to me, but also I am a bit weird that I might have various troubles trying to develop a good page due to how weirdly put together Scalar is more or less.
