Final Poster

My Capstone presentation was awesome because..

I'm awesome. My website was awesome. My poster was awesome. My essay was awesome. Even my curriculum was awesome. Even more so, my judge was awesome. Capstone is awesome.

Perfect Presentation

1). On the second day of class in my British Literature class, my professor gave a presentation. It was literally the most boring presentation I have ever witnessed in my entire life. I was fighting off sleep on the SECOND day of class. It was an all black and white PowerPoint with no pictures and no transitions. As well as it was fully loaded with text. It was awful. On the other hand, I had to go to a Defensive Driving class for 6 hours last Saturday (to help pay off a speeding ticket) and it was actually really entertaining. The man teaching the course told a lot or stories as well as jokes, showed a lot of videos, and even played games and such to keep the class involved.

2). There have been numerous times when I had been working on an assignment while trying to hold a full conversation through texting or by checking Facebook and Instagram, but in the end, it only took me longer to complete my assignment than it would have taken if I hadn't done anything else and focused solely on my assignment at hand.

3). I would use a lot of images, videos, and personal stories as a basis for my points being made. All of these resources would help improve my presentation.

4). Honestly, I think I did a really good job on my website including a lot of pictures and colors to keep the audience engaged and interested.

5).I haven't made a PowerPoint, so therefore, I will not be tossing any slides.

Brief Proposal Presentation to Class

My presentation is themed around young adults and education. It is meant to look school-ish, yet professional enough to be credible.

I'm using the website, a tri-fold project presentation thing to post my poster on as well as other information about my project, and I'm probably going to bring a bunch of cookies as well.

As far as my time-line goes, I'm almost done with my website and my poster is completed. I will get my tri-fold finished nearer to the due date. 

Weekly Blog Entries

A. I propose to create a course for high school students to take that would teach them about current events and foreign affairs, as well as local and national news occuring in their regions.

B. Now that I've done more work with adobe premiere, I'm planning on adding a video presentation to my website.

C. I will use a website as well as a video camera to record and post my video.

D. I chose this technology because I'm already pretty accustomed to it and know it relatively well.

E. I haven't seen any other student's proposals.

F. I need to create a poster board, finish my website, put together my video, and finish updating the information on my website.
I will be getting my video done within the coming month and I will probably get my poster done, in all honesty, the week of my capstone presentation.
I will have my rough draft of my essay done by the week after spring break.

Blog Update: Efforts of my website

Thus far, I have changed a little bit more information on my website. I decided that I'm going to try to put my own video on the page relating to one of my main points of service learning getting students involved. I also decided that rather than this site being a site explaining my project, it's going to be a prototype of what I would want if my project was actually being put into action. I have gotten a lot done with my website, and over all, I'm pretty happy with it.

I need to change some of the information on it, this was a rough draft used for a previous class. But I'm using the same general topic/subject. I just need to switch out the information for data that is more relevant.
