Biography Project Reflection
1.) Describe what you had to do in the assignment.
For this assignment, I had to create a webpage biography on weebly for a person I admired. I created the biography to convince my classmates that this person, Eleanor Roosevelt for example, was an admirable person. I needed to include information about my person, including an introduction, a biographical page, and accomplishments this person had. Also, I had to present my person to the class in a persuading way.
2.) Describe the technology skills you had to use to complete this assignment.
For this assignment, I had to use weebly to create a biographical webpage for a person I admire. I used tools on weebly to format the webpage. I used paragraphs with titles and also pictures. I also included a link to a video so people could view that as well. Also, I had to find copyright information to know if it was okay to use pictures that I found. After assuring the pictures were alright to use, I was able to upload them on to weebly to help convince people my person was admirable.
3.) Describe what you learned and accomplished by creating this piece of work.
By creating this webpage, I learned more about tools on weebly that I can use. I learned how to link pictures to their websites and also include videos on my website. I learned that not all pictures were okay to use on your own website. The copyright information had to be found in order to use the picture or video as well. I created an informational website about Eleanor Roosevelt. I included an intro, biography, and her accomplishments. I was able to convince most of the class that she was an admirable woman.
4.) Explain what you did well in this assignment.
In this assignment, I think I included all the information I needed to, plus more. I included a video about Eleanor Roosevelt to make the presentation better. It wasn’t necessary to include a video, but with the extra time I had after finishing the pages, I was able to find a video and use it. Also, I think I did a good job organizing the facts and information. I didn’t have huge paragraphs but only simply small paragraphs with some bullets.
5.) Explain what you would do differently to improve your work in this assignment.
To improve the work I did in this assignment, I would include more pictures and videos. I would also split up the information differently. I would use bullets and shorter paragraphs. Also, when presenting I would talk louder.
