I worked on our final draft tonight. I looked at out docx and followed some of the recommendations of our peer review. Some of the simple images were removed. I made sure all the image sizes wer fairly consistent throughout the paper. All of the links work. If there is a link to another section, that section usually begins at the top of a page. When I finished. I emailed a pdf and docx version of the draft to my teammates, uploaded the pdf to our Google doc page, and uploaded both files to out Google sites page.

I took the screenshots for our project last night. I edited the screenshots today to remove any of my personal information that I want to protect. I used a red box to set off the steps we need for emphasis. Usually, my mouse arrow is not too far away from the item that needs focus. I then uploaded the screens to our Google site for the project. There is an Easter Egg in the screens. I wonder if anyone will find it.

I met with Paul in Beering's basement to work on our storyboard. Mark couldn't make it because he's out of town. I worked on the section where you request a transcipt using banner self-service. I plan on taking all the screenshots we need for our project later this week. Using Google docs has been very efficient for working on this project.

I've been assigned to fill out the perspective of the Internet Service providers. I reasearched Comcast and AT&T's network management policies. I'm also designing the layout of our white paper. I'm planning on using Adobe InDesign to make our format easy on the eyes. I should be able to finish the paper layout template this evening before my meeting with our group.

This week, I've been perusing the FCC's website, looking for things related to NEt Neutrality. There have been about three hearings dedicated to the future of the internet. All of the speakers' words are posted on the website. There also is a video of the hearing to watch. The FCC has listed its goals concerning topics like Net Neutrality. Only through deep understanding of the FCC has already done for Net Neutrality can one understand what new solutions and approaches can be taken to solve this problem.
