ID Review: 13 Things that Samsung Galaxy SIII can do you don't know about

Hi Guys!

         While I was searching on how to conserve memory on my phone, I found this post about "13 Things that Samsung Galaxy SIII can do you don't know about" check on their original post first
http://www.news.com.au/technology/smartphones/things-the-samsung-galaxy-siii-can-do-you-dont-know-about/story-fn6vihic-1226392804331

          Basically it's like 13 things you don't know that samsung galaxy can do. In my opinion as a user, some of the tips are given in the manual of the phone. It is better if they provide things that can really shock you a lot and be sure that it is not indicated in the phone manual so that people would really be inform or learn from the post.
          The also give pro's and con's in each and every tip after the description or after the instruction on how to do it. It is helpful in a way that people should know the benefit and the discomfort of using those tricks. Picture is used to show screenshot of a certain trick but not all. Content is quite lacking of details specially they should also give instructions situational like how if you have an apps that open when you do their trick, people would expect result according to the description given by the particular trick but wait they won't because of other apps.
           All in all this post can educate samsung galaxy SIII users about the tricks but I think not all the tricks and not all the users may be able to benefit from it because of their lack of description and situational explanation to consider.

ID Review: Learn your Foot Type

Take the Wet Test: Learn your Foot Type

                 While doing our case study for our Instructional Design class, I actually found many instructional websites or posts about our e-learning topic. I choose this Learn your Foot Type published by RUNNER'S WORLD in 2004 because I know that people would be curious about their foot type not only for runners but also for those who always walk or run that may cause their feet certain problems without knowing that their foot type or foot arch maybe one of the causes.

Check out the post: http://www.runnersworld.com/running-shoe-basics/take-wet-test-learn-your-foot-type

          I can see 2 parts of the post. The first one is certain steps you need to do in order to measure your foot arch. They define certain things that you need to get and of course tasks that you need to do in order to properly measure your foot arch. They call it the "Wet Test".

          The second part is they define 3 kinds of foot arch which can probably one of these is your foot arch from the result of the wet test. In the definition, the arch was properly described also they give instances on what would possibly happen if you have this kind of foot arch and what to avoid. They also indicated who may possibly acquire this foot arch. 

          All in all, I found this post useful as they provide pictures specially in the steps to actually see the actual view or the possible output for the ones taking the wet test. And also the description in each of the foot arch is fine as well. However, they should be more complete in a way that they give pictures in the steps but it is better if they put actual footage of the one doing the test rather than just drawing so that the reader could actually understand the steps well and they can compare the result immediately. Same goes for the description part, they should be able to add more details in defining each foot arch like giving examples on what can possibly happen although they did but lack of details like some are terms that a possible first timer in such concept would not understand. Maybe they should be more simple in defining the effects itself because I didn't understand much about their terms :)) like I have to search the terms pa. :D

ID Review: 3 common Time Wasters at work(Infographic)

Hi guys!
For my Blog this time is an infographic showing 3 different things you can do to kill your time at work. ^^
   Even though I'm still a student, I think this infographic would really help many bored workers during their work hours.
   
    They also give statistics and survey results to show how effective a certain time waster is. For me This infographic is a good one because of its accurate and proven data in a way that it is like a survey using pictures. This infographic also gives many varieties on what to do in a certain time waster.

    However, I wish that they also include more time wasters than considering only 3 common time wasters. Because it also depends on the workplace of someone who will read this. It is better that they give at least 5 common time wasters for the readers to be able to choose or classify those they can do to their work area/work place. And also they better give some other activities to do rather than just those that are given even they are common it is better to suggest a different one so that they also have other varieties of activities to choose from.

ID Review: Cleaning your Filthy Gadgets

Hi Guys!
After being cured from fever, my blog is about curing your gadgets from dirt. :))
I want you to read through this website first
http://gizmodo.com/5419737/how-to-clean-your-filthy-gadgets

     They separated the gadgets in order for you to know the better way of cleaning those gadgets. They did a lot of explanations first on how a certain gadget get dirty and then  come up with solutions on how you would actually clean them. The Good part of it was they really give specific things to use in wiping or in cleaning a particular gadget. They also give you do's and don'ts on in order to avoid your gadget from being dirty. It is also good that they give useful gadgets as an example so that most people would benefit or would know how to clean those gadget.

Overall, Their blog is kinda useful for like teenagers and adults like us, but in our generation today how if a kid wants to learn how to clean their gadget and have read this post. Because of the long long text they might get bored in reading those so i suggest that they also want to use infographics for it.
They like giving a pattern for every explanation:
->How the gadget get dirty->How to clean it-> Explanation-> Guidlines
But in a way they are consistent in showing and delivering information to the reader.

ID Review: Setting up your own Personal Computer

Hi there!

          For my blog for today, I chose "Setting up your own personal computer" as a topic because I know that in this generation many teens would actually want to know how their PC looks like inside and how would they actually build it. Check out this post by buildpceasy.com.
http://www.buildeasypc.com/

         So they separated their way of delivering their instruction like: the first choice is through a "step by step video guide" and the second one is through text.




 Step by step video Content

        At the front page they showed the parts that you should put in order. And then after you go to the next page, they first give you how to insert the power supply up to the graphics card. In each page their is a conversational text explaining how to properly put the part and the proper position of it. And also they provide pictures on how it actually look like while putting it and after you placed it in its proper position. It also has a video at the end on how the process of the picture and the text work together in the video. It is consistent although.
       Why did they start on the power supply? Why did they put text and pictures if the video can show how it's done all in all?
So for me they arrange the parts according its size and the convenient way in putting each part in so that at the end you will not mess off with your parts and wires. The arrangement of the parts is the best for me, putting up the proper parts in a proper manner up until to the little chips, cards and wires you put at the end. Next is why text and pictures? The text is in a conversational tone where the text is like talking to you explaining how it is really done and showing it through the picture. It is convenient in where while reading it you apparently doing it yourself and comparing if you have the same situation as shown in the picture. The video afterwards shows you how its properly done this lets you see if you really did the same thing properly. The video lets you assess your own work if you really placed the part properly.
          This kind of instruction wherein you need to do something without someone teaching or demoing to you is a good one. They properly teach their actual content in many manner so that learning takes place in doing reading, seeing and assessing your own work. All the important and specific  information and details of each part. In general this is a good tutorial for people who want to set up their own personal computers.
