The Info Graphic Project
The reflection
, I wish priot i had a better This project allowed us to see more into the graphic design area of possibility for when we leave school. We were pushed to learn on our own about the respected area we covered in our info graphics, over all it teaches us more about self teaching which is a large part of life. The idea of letting us show how we learned and what we learned also propelled people to use the time better and to actually try in this project. Over all I thought the project could use some work on what we were going to do. When we started we had no idea what we were going to do, but now we have a pretty good sense of what we had done.
My prior knowing about ecosystems and the topics thesis project cover was some but not all that much. I knew about ecosystem and that they were basically very complex food chains with biotic and non biotic factors factored in. I had experience with learning how website tend to work which helped with the info graphic, I also had prior experience with researcher new topics to which helped me in finding the information needed.
The two most important things I did in the project were learning about how to kill beetles and how to work Vengage, though learning about Vangage and beetle I helped by contributing the information. I noticed I had difficulty with the issue of the ratio of time to the level of quality of the work.
My knowledge expanded by finding websites that allow info graphic design for free and I expanded my general knowing about ecosystems and beetles, Finding the information played on my skill of being able to tell the reliability of a website by looking at it.
I had several different conception in my mind about beetles and how they are dealt with, I learned that they are most often killed not captured then used for other jobs like cleaning bones. I had my horizon expanded with the knowledge when I learned about how different beetles are dealt with which helped with the solutions part of the project. In the pursuit of doing this project over I would use the group tool and spend more time on Finishing rather than making it look better.
Some of the implication I could use on this could be used in the future to help with getting information out and to spread different messages to a more diverse group of people and in a way. I wish I knew more about how to design a info graphic and how to use different websites, I also would of liked to know at the beginning of the project the end result.
I tend to learn form being shown then seeing how I can apply that one way to several different problems, I tend to work better when I have a idea of what I need to get done then I slowly figure out step by step how to do it.
The project brought to my attention my ability to get distracted to easily form a topic that down interests me to much.

Movie Project
IThe purpose of this project was to give us a understand of what makes us, us. what makes a person them, well that was the question we were supposed to answer going in. I personally did not do too much on this i came in with a pretty strong understanding of what makes a person them and it isn't BIO. if you have two clones who grow up in different lives they will be different to create two people who are the same they would need to start the same and go through all the same things. as a group we did not really hit the nail on the head more like the screw next to it with a hammer. we went with the idea we came up with then moved up to the movie with out much thought for the question.
Reflecting back on the project I in the start got the props section to work on finding out how to make props then that went down hill. With most of the props not being needed or even thought of later(I think maybe not). Over all I helped here and there in the project but I did not step up because i have a habit to overly influence peoples vision and taking them over or just being pushed aside both don't help the rest of the group so hanging back and helping is a better role for me. Over all the group did well for the circumstances. we had several other projects going along with after school which made us not to able to put our all into it. the finished project could of been better the camera was a certain quality but they could of lowered the quality of it later to match others post filming.
In the project we could of worked harder and longer but that is life every thing gets assigned how important it is to each person.in this project as stated before I tried to step back and not take any control. On a personal level my challenge was finding where I could help with the project. as a whole class we had problems with getting it done on time and the sheer amount of stress involved with a large grade pertaining to how well we do on the project. in the project there was a large mount of collaboration, not one job was done by one person. The overall of the project was people joining up and getting there part done. I personally could of been more of a "Team player" but I did do the jobs given to me or at least gave them a shot, in the least seeing what I could do.
Looking deeper into how I collaborated with others in this project i could of been more of a factor in the project by visioning and voicing my opinion louder and in the start.I would of changed the project be making it with more learning involved first and secondly I would change up the parts were we have to attach in Bio if we just make it rather well integrated we should be able to put any thing in the section of science called Bio into the movie. i would how ever keep the rest of the project the same but do it earlier in the year, sometime around mid year.
