Reflections on our Work

What we learned and what was our favorite part of GVC 1704. Reflections on our work together.

I really enjoyed web design because I got to work together with other people. It was not just the people from Japan and Illinois but from other people in my own school. I really enjoyed watching everyone come together from different countries to work on a project together. I would definitely join web design again if I get the chance.

What I liked about web design is that we worked with other schools to work on one web site. My favorite part about my work is sending important, motivating poems to others about being different. Another thing I liked about the web site is the hobby page and videos. What I learned is that you should never try to be someone else and share your talents because you are different.

-Rebecca (Canada)

I think that one of my favourite parts of Web Design this year, was getting to work with GVC again. As well as working with my teammates, who I know are always willing to help. I really enjoyed Web Design this year and what I think was one of the most exciting things was the new topic “You Are You”!

-Divine (Canada)

Web Design was a fun experience. I liked to create a website. I hope I’m in web design next year.

-Nora (Canada)

I really liked being a part of GVC. It was fun to interact with other students from Canada and Japan. One of the projects I loved was Pencils for Puerto Rico. I liked making the boxes for donations and packing up all the donations. Overall I think that GVC was awesome!

My name is Henry and my favorite part of GVC was the pencils for Puerto Rico because everyone was able to donate school materials for Puerto Rico because of the hurricane there. We got to make signs and boxes for the donations and I think GVC is a great time for people from different places to do a project together.

-Jake (Canada)

My name is Zoe, I go to Lincoln elementary and I am in 5th grade. I am really happy I was a part of GVC. It was really fun, in GVC I helped withe the face project and donating school supplies. I think my favorite part was when we would get to learn about kids from different countries. I learned a lot more about them and their culture. I learned that everyone is unique and people are very different in their own ways.

-Zoe (USA)

I think that this year for web design it was very fun and I learned a lot on DNA. It was super fun to be in a well working group. Also, I loved working with other people from Tarui-chou, Japan and Illinois, USA. It was very fun. Thank you for choosing me. Also, it would be very fun to be in this next year.

-Anastazja (Canada)

I'm Nora, and I am a student at Lincoln elementary, Oak Park Illinois. I was a part of GVC 1704 this year. I loved how students in GVC got to interact, learn about, and chat with other students with different countries, schools, and cultures. I learned about how kids like us can make a difference, like donating school supplies to others in need. I contributed by making posters, making the sketchbook project, and designing questions for the "You are you" survey. I also had lots of fun.

-Nora (USA)

I liked web design especially doing the survey about where people were born (Helping Focus). As I started it I felt nervous but I realized it was fun. I'm sad that it is ending now. And the cool thing about it was that it was very interesting.

-Mayo (Canada)

My name is Finn from Lincoln elementary school in the fifth grade my favorite part of GVC is Pencils for Puerto Rico we got to help students from Puerto Rico sending them school supplies because their schools got destroyed from a hurricane.

-Finn (USA)

I think that this is one of the most successful web design teams in my 3 years of being part of the team. We had a fantastic topic, and fantastic team members willing to do the necessary work. It was clearly an extremely fun project where we could express ourselves in an extracurricular format. I can not wait for my 4th year of being part of the St. Clare Web Design team!

I liked working on the website because I got to work on different things like the traditions poem. Web design was fun because you get to work on a website with a whole bunch of different people. My favourite page on the website was The Best Part of Me page. I like that page because of all the different pictures of different people.
