Another Russia Student participates

Yesterday I was able to update another GLIP group members' listing!  Another student from Russia completed their Phase I and II!  I updated their space on our table which brings our numbers up to Phase I = 11, Phase II = 12!  I am very excited about those numbers!  Now if we can only get them to respond to something other than just posting the answers to Phase I and II on their own sites. 

I completed the Empressr presentation... on my own.  I did go back and edit it so to add information and pictures from the newest participating member.

I'm not 100% sure which one will work.

The presentation begins with a picture of a traveling suitcase.  It then shows an map depicting the overall travel through all of the countries.  I then showed each country 1 at a time.  The USA had the most places, pictures, and information so I put it last on the trip.  I even broke it down by state and then by city so not to clutter the slides.  I ended the presentation with a walk through of the themes that were shown between all of the countries.  I think it turned out pretty decent as a whole.  Unfortunately with Empressr, when you set the slides to auto-progression, whatever time space you place between the transitions is applied to all slides.  So some slides seem to take too long before they change.  In the future I may not use this website for this type of presentation again because of this, but it was fun to use.  I did like the site, so I will most likely use it again, just when the time of the transitions is the same, or not auto advancing.
