Every week you guys submit something better and better. Seriously. Congrats!

Creative approach, that's for sure. I remember having to be on crutches in high school after I dislocated my knee playing rugby. It was really hard to adjust to, that's for sure!

Although, you may have forgetten the rule about copyright material.

United Students, I appreciated your choice of a mobility impairment: having to get around on crutches is something many of us have to face at one time or another -- & it's only then that we discover how un-accommodating the world is to people with mobility issues! I also liked your choice of ‘Dora the Explorer' as your mobility limitation poster child.

It seems that you may have actually conducted a simulation (you mention that "you think you know but you have no idea"), but your presentation certainly would have been stronger if you had documented your experience. You do raise some of the problems involved for people with crutches, but you don't identify much in the way of solutions or universal design modifications (other than riding the bus). Finally, you could have gained some easy points if you had tried to generate some dialogue.

At any rate, your technical expertise continues to improve & this powerpoint was better than your last! Congratulations on staying with it until the end & thanks for your contributions.

Can I suggest a title change: "United Students sued by Nickelodeon for copyright infringement"?

But that aside, on your final submission, you guys finally constructed an entry that was technically balanced and flowed smoothly. Your slide sequence demonstrated a basic aptitude for the creativity and forethought necessary to construct digital media at a professional level. The information content wasn't exactly abundant, but you skillfully hit a couple of key points that were expected of this challenge.

Missing, however, was an accounting/reporting of your first-hand experience of a simulated ability loss? Or was it hidden among Dora's amusing quips and observations? Or maybe Boots the Monkey has stolen it???

Still, I walked away (crutchless, I'm glad to say) with the sense that you guys "got it," and were sympathetic with the challenges faced by the loss of easy mobility.

Sorry, United...this one left me wanting more, but not in a good way. No simulation, no discussion, no sound...there just wasn't much to sink my teeth into. The repetitive use of the Dora graphic made it feel like you were stretching what little content you had pretty thin.

Still, as Judge Steve notes, you've demonstrated that you have do have "the right stuff" to do some great work in the digital world, and you've improved significantly over the course of the challenges. Keep it up!
