Journal Reflection 05/18/2012
- I have accomplished many things this week. I have accomplished most importantly to organize the website. I have also accomplished to find a partner that has almost the same topic as I do to cooperate and make a single website with both of our information. The partner that I am partnering up with is Tomas Aboytes and we have joined together to create awareness on the dangers and issues concerning animals. This week I have also accomplished to put into the website my philosophy of Social Justice. This week I have accomplished many individual goals in general for the website.
- I didn't really have many challenges this week. The only challenge that my partner and I had was to create our blog. We still have not made our blog or posted in our website. The main issue for me was having somewhere were I could create my part of the blog. Another challenge was trying to figure out what I was going to say or talk about in the blog. I had an idea of what I was going to say but when I tried to create the blog my information was not delivered clearly. I guess that my nerves of being in front of the camera got the best of me which also prevented me with finishing our blog.
- Overall, I personally think that I made a lot of progress this week. I tried to stay on task as much as possible. I also managed my class time to work in this efficiently for as long as I could. I guess that I could have stayed some time after-school to try to finish some other things for the website. I feel proud of the work and time that my partner and I have put in our website this week.
- The next step for our website will be to create our blog and to post it up on the home page of our website. The blog is our main priority as our next step. Another goal that I have for myself for next week is to make my Globalization Contextual essay. The essay will be my next goal for me because the essay is required for students of Mr. Hernandez in his Digital Humanities class. Once I create my Globalization Contextual essay I will post it where it belongs on the website, and in that way my personal as well as our cooperative next steps will have been accomplished. -Marco C.
Journal Entry 05/18/2012
- What I have accomplished this week is merge my website with a partner that has a similar topic as me. I have edited and structured some of the website since my partner Marco Campos and I have combined websites. I have written a resolution and added a few pictures that relate with our topic. Overall, I have been working on the website to improve the quality of it.
- Challenges that I faced this week were minor. Organizing documents and trying to organize the website were the main ones. Trying to figure out the structure if the website and what document will fit in a certain place was a big issue. Time management was also a major problem this week. There was too much to do and prepare in so little time.
- Some more things that will happen with this website are the addition of the v-log and more videos being put in the website that show what my topic is about. Also, we will begin to take action and capture some of our action plan to upload to the website.
- This week I could have added more things that I wished I could have, but the way that the production this week was is very good. We successfully used both of our research to find a common topic that will incorporate our original topics. That was a big challenge but it was successfully accomplished.
