I felt ready to throw my computer at the wall at least 5 times over the course of this project. The reason: Glogster. In this blog, I have two more reasons why Glogster was sent from the devil to torture the FHS 7th Grade.
My first reason is that some of the fonts don't include basic characters such as a double asterisk. Today, I was polishing off the back cover of the glog and I realized that one of the quotes didn't have any quotation marks. I added them, only to find that instead of two asterisks, it was a question mark in that font. Strangely enough, when I tried typing an actual question mark in, it was in Times New Roman in a different color than I had been using. I honestly find it surprising that nobody's noticed this yet, and I think that the Glogster developers need to look into that as soon as possible.
Another issue was the fact that multiple people couldn't work on it at the same time. At least three times, I tried to work on parts of the glogs, but someone else would go on at the same time and save, so I would lose all of my work. This was extremely irritating because I will forget what I was going to write down unless I actually write it down, and I ended up losing boatloads of good writing on the summary and author bio because of that.
Despite all of that, my group still managed to submit a (in my opinion) very good project, so I shouldn't be complaining too much. I still feel like I have to share this though, because it made the process of completing it EXTREMELY difficult.
