Reflections
Term 1: Bio
a. This assignment consisted of choosing any person and creating a webpage about them. The webpage had to include many detailed facts about the person along with the accomplishments they have acquired. Four sub-pages had to be created from the information: an introduction page, biography page, accomplishment page and a citation page. Along with the pages came the banners that had to be created which were made by many pictures, effects and text.
b. Many technology skills were used whilst creating the website. The learning of HTML was one of them. I had learned the skill of embedding the HTML codes of websites on to another webpage. Another technology skill learned was the creation of the website as a whole, creating subpages and banners.
c. By creating this piece of work, I have learned not only more about Babe Ruth as a person, but many new technology skills. Including citing a website using HTML code. I also learned how to create a banner using many pictures and different effects. But I mostly learned how to create a Weebly website. This happened to also be a big accomplishment.
d. In this assignment, I believe I did well presenting the information I have on the website. I also think I did well on the banners made with the different affects, layers and having quotes for each banner.
e. To make this work better, I would try to make the writing on the webpage more interesting and eye catching.

Term 2: Animation
a. In this assignment, an animation had to have been created (with no specific subject) using one of the animation websites goanimate, moovly, wideo or voki. Three of those websites first had to be tested and then after listing the pros and cons of those three, one would be chosen. My animation was based off of the term 1 biography website and was an overview on Babe Ruth's life.
b. Technology skills were required to create this project. First, each website had to have been experimented with using many different tools on each website. Learning how to create the website itself was a new technology skill I acquired. Also, embeding the video onto the website was a technology skill learned from this project.
c. By creating this animation, I learned how to use not only one, but three different animation websites that have happened to already come in handy for other work related projects. I also learned how to enhance a website beside using just pictures. Without an animation, the website would be the same as any other. This animation taught me that there is more than just words and pictures to a website. There are many other ways to attract an audience.
d. In this assignment I think I did well explaining exactly what I wanted to be said through the animation. I wanted the project to show Babe Ruth's life in a quick video and I believe that the point I had tried to make was spot on.
e. To improve the animation, sound or any type of background music could have been nice. Also, the video went fairly quickly so either making it a bit longer or having it focus on one point in Babe's life could have attracted the audience more.

Term 4: Tourist Bureau
a. Many little projects and a lot of work were done to create this major project. In this project, a place anywhere outside of the America was to be chosen and presented to attract tourists. A lot or research had to be put in to find hotels, attractions, accommodations, flights etc. It also required a citations page (or some sort of citation throughout the website) along with an animation and a video to be embedded from YouTube.
b. For technology skills needed to create the project, I needed to create another layout plan for the whole website and also learn how to search for flights/hotels on a computer. Another technology skill learned was not only how to embed an animation but also a video from YouTube.
c. This project expanded my knowledge on not only technology but also everyday skills such as searching up flight information. I learned how to search for flight and hotel information. I also learned how to create a more interesting animation based on a specific place. I accomplished making a website that would attract a tourist and persuade them to take a trip to Barcelona Spain. Which is a major skill learned- to create a website for tourists.
d. For this Tourist Bureau Website, I believe I did well with the banners and the information presented. I used the same picture over for an over lapping affect on the banner but made the picture become more translucent with each one. I also did well with the information by trying to include every little detail found. Especially when searching for flight information, I presented very specific examples.
e. To make this more attractive, I would change some of the pictures and even add more to really show what Barcelona has to offer. Also, I would add more details to the attractions to attract tourists to go and see some of them. However, as a whole I believe this project was put together quite well.
