Reflection Questions for Biography Project
Describe what you had to do in the assignment.
-In this particular assignment, we were instructed to choose a person who we admire the most. In doing so, we had to gather all the information we could find and successfully cite and present this information on our personalized Weebly site. Then after we have gathered this information, we stood up bravely in front of the entire class and regurgitated the information that we had studied and presented a clear and concise presentation to persuade the class to admire this certain figure. The feedback we received gave us a better outlook on whether or not we had successfully presented this project to the class when they took a vote on whether or not they felt we inspired them to admire our person.
Describe the technology skills you had to use to complete this assignment.
-Throughout this project, we had to overcome some struggles technology wise. We encountered some technological issues such as the internet not working for a class and a slow band width that impeded on our learning ability. But all in all, we had to become masters at maneuvering and conquering the styles on Weebly and the tough subject of how to format and organize our information we had found. So the technology we had to use was all internet/Weebly based which caused a hard obstacle to overcome but we persevered and eventually got through it.
Describe what you learned and accomplished by creating this piece of work.
-I learned an amplitude amount of various things during this project. The main thing that I learned was how to use weebly to format my website correctly and how to cite a picture from a different website. During this project, I had to adapt and successfully cite pictures widely used on the internet. But, I couldn’t do this right away, I had to find and read the terms of use/service. During this long and knowledgeable read, I had to decipher whether or not the terms of use permitted me to use the certain image. If they did, I had to properly cite the website properly according to the terms of use. In this masterpiece of a website, intertwined in the genetic makeup of it was some serious artwork. I had to overcome many obstacles with trying to cope with the constant stress of making sure all of my pictures did not infract on the terms of use. So in saying all of this, I sure learned a lot throughout this project.

Explain what you would do differently to improve your work in this assignment?
