Social responsibility:

Throughout the year I have demonstrated Social Responsibility in many ways. Whether it be saying hello to someone in the hall or including them in something I’m doing, I always make sure that people are okay. this year I have tried to ensure that people are feeling comfortable and included in class, I feel like its really important to check in on people especially with what is going on in the world right now. This year in Career Education our class took part in YPI, where we researched and talked to people at a charity of our choice to be able to do a presentation in front of senior students, where our group could potentially win $1000 for our charity, Athletics 4 Kids. Thankfully we won the $1000 and were able to donate it to A4K, we are now still working with them because we loved the feeling we got from donating that money and want to continue to do things like this in the future.

Communication:

I have always been told I’m a good listener, I just like to take in information, analyze and then speak. I would consider communication to be one of my strengths, especially with creative writing, I don’t however, like public speaking but I guess I would say I’m pretty good at it. Speaking is an very important aspect of life and without it the world would be a confusing place, thats why this year I’ve been trying to get involved in more projects that will help me improve this skill of mine, YPI definitely helped me with this.

Creative thinking:

In our project I think the biggest core competency was communication. We used communication to split up the tasks and get everything done in the most efficient way possible. I would say that we used this core competency to its fullest as we used many ways of communication to finish our project, we used a group chat and FaceTime. After the the assignment I realized that this competency probably saved us because if we didn’t FaceTime or text we might not have finished on time.

Another core competency we used was creative thinking, we showed this by using a unique style of presenting which was a sway, something that was new for all members of our group. In the presentation we used creative and meaningful pictures to help make it easy to understand what is happening in our presentation, we also as I said before split up the tasks to get everything done as fast and efficient way possible.

Something I probably could have done better is manage my time better, I miss categorized everything and should ask for help as soon as possible next time, this is also a good learning experience for me and everyone in my group.

short story assignment – digital storytelling

Digital literacy short story reflection 

 

In my story I think a big core competency was creative thinking, Tyler and I came upon a piece of plastic and started thinking about what this little thing has done to the planet and what would happen if we had got rid of it completely. I started to do some drawings to show Tyler what I was visualizing, and it helped us create the characters and most of what was going on in the story, we also looked on the internet which also helped us out. Another core competency would be communication because I feel like we divided up tasks equally and we both had impute into what happens and what the story looks like. 

Some things I could have done better at would be further editing the story and going over it a little bit more. I could have also added a little bit more to make it more intriguing. But anyways I think Tyler and I worked well together and did a pretty good job.
