Daily Log
Today I built my website. I used formats that will help me plan my website. This includes my list of 10 and my planning questions. This way, I can stick to a plan and complete my project with ease.
Today, on the second day, I officially started my video. I decided my video was going to be about my diabetes. Then, I found images related to my diabetes.
On day 3 I added more images. I also added some sounds. I added a song to add some fun. I added some sound effects to add some humor to my video.
I added the final touches to my project. I added a voiceover, reasonable sounds and other soun effects.
I started my reflection. I made sure to add extra sentences to earn that 100%.
Today I thought I finished my reflection. I'm still going to add more, though.
I downloaded my video onto my website. I made everything look neat. I made my website professional.
Using iMovie, I created a movie that showed how I took better care of my diabetes because I felt it was important. I've made a lot better decisions. It makes my life a lot easier. And the biggest plus is not feeling like passing out all the time. If I'm being honest, it's extremely worth it.
During this process, I learned how to construct a solid movie. It easily got my point forward. At the end, you could clearly see I take better care of my diabetes. I succeeded very well.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Digital Citizen because I followed the rules and regulations o f the pictures I saved. I used creative commons license. I also used the iMovie audio. Therefore, it's all safe to use. With these tools, I'm not infringing on anyone's property.
A challenge I overcame on this project was finding a solid topic for my movie. I was able to do it by using my list of 10. Because of this, I got a good, quality movie. The topic I ended up was how I started taking better care of my diabetes.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the length of my video. The reason why I would change it is because I would be able to get more information in. Therefore, it would make more sense. And in the end, it would be more finished.
