Career Conclusion
This assignment required using previous collected data and research to create charts and column graphs. Using the projected job growth data, I plugged the information into a chart, and did the same thing for educational level needed, and median or average salary per career. I then colored each title to match a tab to connect the same information. On the first tab, I created a column graph with the same information. I then formatted the graph with color and more detail. I did the same steps on the next two tabs using the chart information. For this assignment, some technology abilities I had to use were creating charts, and graphs in excel, along with formatting each kind. Something I learned by doing this was how to create tabs, and accomplished color coding each set of information. I feel that I did the graph formatting and chart formatting well, but could improve on making graphs more easily.
Glog Reflection
For the glog we were required to use the information we already collected doing our career research, and make a flyer trying to convince someone to look into the job. We had to include pictures, and a video showing, and informing what the career entails. We also had to include four links and information on the average salary, information on the education and training for the job, a brief description of the job, and the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be successful in the career. In the glog it was also required to add a title, and some other inserts. To complete this assignments, some technology skills used were linking the webpages to the pictures, and information, and figuring out how to use glogster for the first time. From doing this assignment I learned how to use glogster, and link webpages, along with researching a video to use. I accomplished laying out the glog to fit all the information, but at the same time keeping it simple to attract people to the flyer. I feel that I designed the glog well, and by keeping it simple it would be easier for people to understand the message I'm trying to send. I think I could improve on figuring out more advanced technological uses in glogster, and linking webpages more easily.
Video Reflection
After finishing the video assignment, I was left with some new abilities and new learned skills to use. This included learning how to use a new app, Pixorial, and then writing my own dialogue and filming myself with the app. I also learned how to edit the video and add a title page, and credits, then put all the clips together. What I got out of this was how to record a video on my smartphone, and then be able to work on it on the computer, and how easy it can be to create the video. I liked this assignment because it incorporated popular technology, included my iPhone, an app, and a computer, while creating a video at the same time.
