Mpol

Hi, welcome to my Mpol, where I’m going to be reflecting on my learning so far, and answering the driving question, What is your learning goal that you want to reach by the end of this school year, and how will you meet it? I’m going to be answering at the end of the mPOL, after I’ve gone through examples in all of my classes, starting off with humanities, because I think it has some great examples of what I did well and what I can improve on. One assignment I think I did pretty well on was the Revolution videos, because it showed how I worked hard to support the team, and how did my part of the project, which was to write and help film and act in our videos. But even though the videos turned out pretty well there were also some things I would have liked to change. Even though I did everything I was expected to, I didn’t really go beyond, mostly due to my use of time. Like on lots of my other assignments I kind of left it to the last minute, and then I didn’t really have time to do anything extra for my team. This goes for lots of my other assignments as well, where I would always get distracted and end up leaving it for the last minute, and lots of my work suffered for it because I would do everything within a couple hours or less.

Moving on to Maker, I think something that I did pretty well in was the student blogging challenge. I heard that lots of other students didn’t really put much into their posts on it, and didn’t really care. I treated it like a big project, and I always tried my best on my posts, but like in humanities, I got distracted at times and sometimes left posts to the last minute, and several were late, because although I wanted to do a good job, I didn’t give myself enough time to do what I wanted within the due date, and this was the case with a lot of other assignments as well.

In Scimatics my example is my chemistry stories video, which I think I did a good job on, but not a great job, because I also left this to the last second, so I didn’t have any time to really go beyond the requirements. I did it so late because I was using class time to catch up on other assignments that I had also left until the last second. I think I’ve gotten better at using my class time more productively, but I still have some improvement to do.

And finally for PGP, I’m actually using this mPOL as my example, because look at it, it’s not that bad, but it’s nothing special either. But I also put this assignment off to the last second, and pretty much everything you see written here was done in 30 minutes. That’s why I don’t have links in my post, I forgot about them, oops, but I really tried in those 30 minutes I had, and the end result was surprisingly good for the tiny amount of time it was done in, but it’s still not that good.
