Technique Technique can be viewed in different ways, but I will focus more on the presentation of reports and its hypertext integration. Upon entering Dr. James' class, HTML is usually a new concept to them. So, everyone is a beginner and goes through the same frustrations as everyone else. The effort one puts into a report is more of an individual thing rather than a generational one so there were people who put more effort in an earlier generation than someone did in a later one. I rememember my generational report was sixteen pages long and took a span of two weeks to get a quality draft posted on time.
Alhough length can sometimes be an indicator of effort, scholarship is measured differently.
Of all the reports I have looked at, most were in first person abut personal feelings toward a particular driving or internet behavior. I remember another student in Generation 8 who put a disclaimer on her page. You can view Faith Matsuda's page to see her unique perspective on her pages. Connectivity Connectivity within generations are more noticable due to referencing or linking to each other's pages and viewing them often. Connectivity happens between generations with the generational reports and being able to build upon the previous generations' work.
