 * Ethiopic Bible Selections**
 * Assignment 1.2**
 * I observe the ancient manuscript of the Bible of** **Ethiopia** **and intentionally I was drawn to the colors and the designs used. The images or pictures were shown as the boarder on many pages and sometimes pictures shown at the top of the page. As you continue through the Bible the photos began to tell a story it displayed various colors and details were prevalent in the manuscript. By looking at the four basic design principles, photos were shown in some cases on the very primary level of design. In my opinion, the contrast showed photos strong in the terms of colors but at the same time it takes away from the context. Repetition was evident in the several pages at the beginning the photos displayed were consistent and repetitive. Alignment was basic in the manuscripts when it came to the text. The text was perfectly placed next to each other in a two column text. Lastly, proximity allowed the text to be easy to read and items were group together to tell the story and its importance. The techniques I feel the manuscript shows was through the importance of text and told the story through photos as well.**

Week 5 Course reflection This course has been an enjoyable experience. Throughout this class I have been exposed to informative and useful resources that I will incorporate within my classes. I have learned the concepts of branding, how to create a logo, designing an animation and collaborating with peers in developing a webpage. In the first week, I learned the value of branding and how we can incorporate this within my classes and students. Branding should be clear and unquestioned. The most important concept I would want students to understand about branding is that it's usually someone else's view on you or your material. So it's vital to stress that whatever work you produce make sure it depicts who you are and what you represent. In the following weeks I learn to concepts of creating a logo using the C.R.A.P.S (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity). In week 3 I created an animation and found this would be a great resource for students to use when working on projects. I will use this technology to have students reinforce concepts they learn within the class by using science content in their animation. By learning these design principles my group used this technique in order to create a webpage which focuses on the tools of technology with the classroom. Furthermore, this course has truly provided me with an additional knowledge on the capabilities of how to use technology effectively within the classroom.
