So in PLP we finally started our Health and Career unit. Health and Career is a course that for most people gets sucked into a rotation with digital media, however being in PLP means that it gets sucked into our Maker Time class. The way we are doing the unit means we our doing a little mini project for each idea we cover. The first thing we did was just an introduction that made us look at ourselves and what we have with us in our daily life.

The project required us to learn how to use Keynote and use it for a presentation about ourselves. This was something different for me because if it isn’t about sports I’m not one to talk excessively about myself. I often find it kind of awkward. Anyways I was unlucky and got given the first day possible to present. This meant i had a weekend to learn how to use keynote and make an entire slide show about myself. Also if you somehow didn’t already know, in the spring I don’t have a lot of time. I play, coach, and umpire a lot of baseball. However I had most of an afternoon off so I used all that time to make this project.

I started off just coming up with ideas for the different things I carry. The thing I came up with were Attitude, Phone, Baseball Cap, iPad, Math Brain, Headphones, Long Curly Hair, Problem Solving Mentality, and a Passion for Sports. I then came up with a theme for my slides so that i could keep them consistent and make them look nice. Every slide has blue text and a black and white photo.
