Final Project Presentations
Final Projects are due on Monday, May 11th at 1:30pm. They must be functional and hosted on your blog. Also upload copies of your Flash .fla/.swf files or .html/data files to the class Dropbox account. Make sure your name is in the file name.
The presentations themselves are informal. Come up to the lectern, show us your completed project, and explain the steps you took to get it done. Easy! We have 26 students and 165 minutes so approx. 5 minutes per person. Questions? Ask!

Weekly Blog Posts #8, 9 10!
Here are the last maps to find and post on your blog.
#8: Last week's task was to find an interactive Javascript map -- any topic. Think along the lines of Labs 9 and 10.
#9: This week's task is to find a graphic regarding the earthquake in Nepal. Can be static or interactive. It is always interesting to see maps that are produced on short turnaround!
#10: One last interactive or animated map that you find especially cool. Any topic. Any style. Just something you wish you'd made!
