Curation Update

      So far, I don't have 1 most significant peice of information. I have basicaly just found a bunch of basic information, which is what I'm trying to do. The information I am looking for and have partialy found is engine options, trim packages, suspension types, transmission options, and any other factors of the truck. My next step is to continues finding this information, I have already found what engines came in it and the specs of those engines and I've found the different transmissions and specs on those, so now I need to find the rest. My next step is also to create the website, i plan on using the goolge site thing provided on the humanities page.
     Overall this project is going well and I really enjoy it. The fact that I am researching something I find to be very interesting makes the rewsearch process a lot easier and more enjoyable. I have had no trouble finding the information that I need taking advantage of wikipedia and different blogs. The information i want to find is also easy to find so it's working out well.
      For my interviews I talked to two of my friends with differet trucks and Mr. Vodika, explaining the project to them and asking about if they would find a website like this helpful. They all said that a website soley about their specific year truck would be really helpful since finding information when they need it can be tough since there is so much stuff out there. I also plan on going to Chevy and asking them about like common things that the truck came in for when it was new and their opinions on the truck compared to other trucks. I have not had a chance to do this yet but I plan on it.

  1. I'm glad you find this worthwhile. As I said when I introduced it, that was one of my main goals. Have you considered the platform you will use for your online presence?
