Additional Media for Ning Group

In the last couple of days, my group has focused on adding more ooo's and ahh's to our Ning network. Our textual content is actually quite considerable and focused, but we were lacking in the pictures and videos departments. I added 8 photos myself, and I must say that I was surprised and relieved when I saw that they put themselves into a slideshow. I expected the slideshow to take at least a few minutes to figure out. Thomas also added a few pictures and a video.

I added an event, and Thomas added a few as well. It's kinda cool because each individual aspect was relatively quick and easy to complete. Now that we've finished/almost finished, though, the site has a lot of information and a lot of media, as well. It reminds me of the way papers are supposed to be written and how tests are supposed to be studied for versus the way most students actually approach them. If every student at URI actually studied/worked for each of their classes for 30min-1hr per day, "bad" grades (this is subjective, of course) may be eliminated. It's the last minute cramming and grinding that has really harmed our education systems.
