In PLP, we are always showing our work to other people, but today I will be showing you some of mine. I have three different examples of work that I am most proud of that I would like to show you.

Firstly, I am most proud of this learning portfolio. Its been really cool to be able to post what I’ve learned, and I enjoy posting some of my thoughts and opinions in some casual, not school related posts. I’d have to say that my favourite post is probably either “Overwatch for Christmas” or “Why I like tofu“.

During our Oregon trip we had to make three ads, one business, one tourist, and one advocating tsunami safety. My favourite was the tsunami advocation ad. I’m not entirely sure why its my favourite, but it is probably my favourite because of how realistic it seems. I got a picture of a Jetty from the Oregon coast, and put “this Jetty won’t save you from a tsunami” at the top. I then put “Knowing this will” at the bottom next to a picture from www.oregontsunami.com. The picture was just some info on what to do during a tsunami.

Last stop! Destination Imagination!

I think the thing im most proud of was just completing our challenge. I was in a team with Jamie, Marshal, Tamara, Daniel, and Luca O.G., and our challenge was to build two free standing structures that will work together to support weight. These structures had to be built out of balsa wood, and glue. I am honestly surprised we managed to get into provincials with what we had. Our structures were way to big and way to heavy, so nearly HALF our possible points were lost before we even began. However, we did manage to improv a really good presentation, which did incorporate our failures involving the structures. I’m also proud of myself for not passing out during the day. I was really sick.

In terms of my learning on this blog, im very proud of learning some of the little things in customization, as well as in posts themselves.

I’m proud of learning how to add photos to my posts, as well as embedding videos into the posts so they can be watched from the page.

I’d say the post that demonstrated my learning the most was the “Google year-in Review” post because it taught me how to embed both videos and links to different pages. I think this will be very important in the future because it will allow me to make posts that are better and dont take you to a different page, so you don’t get off topic/my blog.

Finally, Growth mindset. I have a growth mindset about my schoolwork and classes in school. Honestly, I didn’t have much of a growth mindset during D.I. There were some ideas presented, and some props that had a different design then I anticipated and I wasn’t too happy about it upon seeing them. However, we made them work, and we pulled through and managed to get into provincials.
