This is my very first reflection post, and I wanted to share it with you. The project was called Becoming a PLP Learner, and I wanted to show you guys! The driving question was: Who Am I As A PLP Learner. The project consisted of many smaller assignments. I learned to use many tools, and applications that I have never used before. I really enjoyed this project. I could definitely improve on things in the future, but for now this is what I have done. Click on the video above to check out my Youtube video. It is my Keynote presentation about Becoming a PLP Learner. Here are the assignments:
ME-EMOJI ANIMATION
We were assigned to make a Memoji that looks like us, and insert it to our keynote presentation with a laptop. On the laptop we had to make digital stickers of images, logos, or things that are important to us. After that, we had to animate the stickers so they spin, bounce, e.t.c. I had some difficulty with making the stickers animated, but after some troubleshooting, we figured it out. Here is a picture of my Memoji:
WORDPACK
The next thing that we did was make a Wordpack in the Wordpack application. It is an app where you type in words, choose a shape, choose colour combinations, and change the font. It is useful if you want to use a creative way of displaying words. We had to pick words that describe us in ‘I Am’ statements. I thought that this app was pretty cool, and I will definitely use it again.
I AM DOODLE
This assignment also tied into the ‘I Am’ statements. We had to take a selfie of ourselves doing somethings that we love, or something that describes us. We then had to add doodles of the thing we were doing in the selfie, and write an ‘I Am’ statement. Here is mine:
USER MANUAL
One of the tasks that we were assigned was to create a user manual about ourselves. We had to refer to ourselves as a ‘device’ and create the ‘instructions’. It was a cool thing to write about, and I enjoyed it. Check it out here:
REFLECTION
Who am I as a PLP learner?
I think that I am curious, open minded, and determined. There is more work in PLP, but I am learning how to manage my work with my extracurricular’s. At the start of the year, I thought I would have to spend way more time on homework, but now that I’ve been in PLP I’ve come to realize that I can use my time wisely and complete tasks. I think that I bring some good skills to the PLP learning team, including my sense of humour, my creativeness, my ability to concentrate and listen, being encouraging, and more. I have had to refine and learn many skills so far. Some of them have been learning how to use all the new apps for drawing, presenting, music making, and lots more! I have had trouble it’s a few of the apps being confusing, but I troubleshooted and figured it out. My teachers have been quite helpful and patient, so that helps with my work. This will change throughout the years, but for now this is how I am reflecting on this project!
