Becoming a PLP learner

Hello! Welcome to my post! This post is all about my first maker project called Becoming a PLP learner. The driving question was “Who am I as a PLP learner?”. We did this project because it helped us become more immersed in the world of PLP! It took around a month to complete, and was very useful for a new PLP student (me). 

The project “Becoming a PLP learner” was a really fun experience that allowed me to get what it is like to be a PLP learner. It highlighted many skills using keynote, pages, WordPack and many more! In keynote we learned how to use the drawing tools to make fun things like custom sneakers, pumpkins, we used the colour fill tools to trace artwork, and we used the animations to make fun slideshows enjoyable for all! We also learnt how to use pages to write scripts and documents. Last but not least, we learnt how to use WordPack, to make fun shapes filled with words that described us. 

Although this project was very fun for me to do, with every good thing there comes a bad. Sometimes the tech wouldn’t work properly, or there was a glitch in the system, or I couldn’t record, and lots more. There were also many times when I had to redo or fix something because it didn’t meet the criteria. Every time I had to do that I got a little discouraged but through all that, I tried my best to make the most amazing finished product!

This project not only taught me about the many fun tools, and things you can do on an iPad, but also taught me the significance of using technology responsibly. It was a fun and good learning experience. I will also use all the information I gathered from this project for as long as I am in PLP!
