Linking Assignment

Every time I complete my submission, I wonder how my colleagues approached the weekly tasks. I visit our Canvas “Web spaces” page and keep browsing through my colleagues’ work. The diversity in the approaches and thoughts on the same task fascinates me. Still, it keeps me puzzled: Is such variance is due to mind,  culture, language, literacies, technical skills, the choice of writing spaces ,or perhaps, an amalgam of all these?  In this assignment, I am composing brief reflections on six of my colleagues’ workspaces. I will discuss their presentation selections (the website as an artifact) and a specific content that intrigued me to the point that I find myself thinking about long after reading and closing the task, all references are provided in this page. Below are the hyperlinks for the six reflections:
