Creating a website to keep people active during the pandemic

Based on my experience during the pandemic, it was quite a hard time for me. I wasn’t allowed to meet any of my friends and I can’t go out. I started to run out of ideas of things I can do at home, and I was also feeling really stressed by the assignment teachers gave me and by the fact I can’t meet anyone. I discovered that I wasn’t the only person that felt this way, most of my friends and family felt the same way. Then I discovered a way that can cure our boredom and stress during the pandemic. For this personal project, my goal is to research the popular recreational activities of the pandemic. Then create a website activity guide to keep people active during the pandemic. The goal of this website is to give people suggestions about the activities that they can do during the pandemic since we aren't allowed to go outside. The website will have 45 activities that can help our physical and mental health. The website also includes pictures of the activities. Making this product is doable with the given time frame. It is doable to make a website that consists of 45 activities because I have enough time to do thorough research. I will also choose a platform that is easy and simple for me to make a website.

Creating this project is gonna be a new challenge for me. For making this project it requires a strong research skill in order to gain more information about the activities people do and to put it in the final product. It also requires a lot of time to do the investigation. Making a website could also be a challenge. Hopefully, by making this website people can do some of the activities that I recommend on the website so that people can stay active during the pandemic. The website could actually be quite useful for people during the pandemic to fill out their free time at home.

Global Context

For my personal project, the global context is an Inquiry into Identity and relationships. The reason why it’s suitable for my project is that the global context focuses on human health and relationships. For my project, I will try to make a website that consists of activities that can make us healthy and keep us active during the pandemic, and some of the activities can keep a strong relationship with friends and family. I will try to find activities that can make us stay active, stay healthy, and activities that we can do with friends or family.

Product

During the covid-19 pandemic, we are asked to stay at home to avoid getting infected by the virus. We don’t know for how long, but it can be for a long time. For my personal project, my product will be making a website article that consists of a list of activities that they can do at home. The aim of my website is to give people suggestions of activity that people can do during the covid-19 lockdown to keep them active and in order to not get bored easily. My website will include a list of activities that people can do to keep their mental and physical health healthy. My goal is to list down 45 activities and each activity has an explanation and some of them will also include the benefits of the activities and pictures.

Reflection

I’ve learned new things throughout the process of completing my personal project. I’ve also had a new experience throughout this project. From this project, I learned how to make a simple website with Wix. The new skill I've achieved throughout is website designing skill. I’ve learned how to design my own website. I also learned new things from my research like how to stay healthy and how to manage stress in an effective way. Hopefully, by my website, people could have ideas of what activities they can do during the pandemic. I also provide a couple of activities that can help people to stay fit and healthy during the pandemic. I believe by making this website is very effective for everyone so that they can have ideas on what they can do at home, and so that they can stay active. I will spread my website to my friends and family so that many people can read my website and so that they can keep their mental and physical health healthy during the pandemic.

After executing this project I realized that it is very important for us to stay healthy and to manage our stress during the pandemic. That is why by making this website, people will know the importance and how to stay healthy during the pandemic. The website also includes many activities that can cure our boredom and that can fight all of the stress we faced during the pandemic.

Going back to the global context, which is inquiry and relationship, I understand how important it is for us to keep our mental and physical health healthy. I also understand how important it is for us to keep our relationship with others (friends and family), especially during this pandemic.

IB Learner Reflection

As IB learners, we use our learner profile to help us accomplish our project. I was able to develop a couple of learner profiles for the project which is communicator, thinker, and balanced. I was able to balance everything for my personal project. I was able to balance my school works and my personal project, and also my free time. Balancing may be the hardest thing for me throughout this project since I also have other school assignments given by teachers and I also need to do my project.

I used my communication skills throughout the process of researching. Before making my website I had to gather information and try to make a list of activities that we can do during the pandemic. Other than using secondary sources, I decided to interview some of my close friends in order to get more information. It is also used when I did the mini-survey for the peer evaluation in order to know other opinions about my product. With the help of the interview, I was able to receive valuable information regarding my topic, which was the activity during the pandemic. Communication skills are also used when I communicate with my supervisor if I have an issue regarding my project or my report.

My thinking skills were applied during the brainstorming process. With creative thinking, I was able to come up with a product idea that was relevant to people, especially during the global pandemic. It was also used to overcome a certain problem that I faced throughout the project. The challenge was when making my website. I was clueless about making a website, and I had to think and find ways to solve this problem which was using my communication skill to communicate with my friend so that I would be able to understand about making a website.
