I chose Chris Hadfield because when I was in elementary school, I think in grade 2, we all had to learn “Is Somebody Singing” by Chris Hadfield and Ed Robertson so I knew who he was. I learned that Chris Hadfield was the first Canadian in space, he was selected to be a NASA Mission Specialist in 1992 and he now hosts a show called “Astronauts: Do You Have What it Takes?”.

My Digital Footprint

My name is Mackenzie Ellis-Phillips however for most everything, I use the name Mackenzie Phillips or sometimes Mackenzie Ellis. This includes my social media accounts like Instagram and Snapchat. On Instagram, when you search for “Mackenzie Phillips” almost sixty accounts come up. The first being the famous actress Mackenzie Phillips. On my account, I have posted four pictures. Two of me and two of my pets. From looking at my account you can see I have at least one dog and one cat. In the “tagged” tab, there are nine other posts in which I am tagged but I only actually appear in five. I also have “ccs 9” in my bio meaning I go to Centennial Secondary and I’m in grade 9. If you look at my following tab it shows I mostly follow my friends, cat accounts or celebs. In order to have control over my identity online I only share photos I am comfortable with anybody seeing, I don’t let anyone post a picture of me without my permission and I rarely comment on posts except those of my friends. I looked up both my emails and my phone number and only Spokeo was able to find my email and an old connected picture to it. It didn’t have my name or address or anything like that. I think I do pretty good job at being careful online as I have shown here.

In the future, I don’t think my online presence will affect my post-secondary or job applications. I don’t have any posts of me partying or doing anything illegal or even weird. I think if I continue to be safe and responsible online, I will be fine in the future. My friends and family will not be affected by my online presence either. I don’t have any picture of us together and I don’t follow my parents. My stepmom has a picture of us together, but it doesn’t say we are related.  I don’t have any permentant posts about my friends however I sometimes post on my story that disappears after 24 hours.

  1. I knew the information I gathered was reliable because it all came from the Canadian encyclopedia, which Mr. Basso said was reliable and CBC which had the same information as the Canadian encyclopedia. I know the pictures were reliable because when I searched for them, many different versions of the same pictures came up. Also, I got some from the Canadian encyclopedia.
  2. I chose to use Canva because when Mr. Basso was showing the different mediums it looked the easiest to use and had the best look. It was good for the criteria because it had clean, simple designs which I like the look of.
  3. I was satisfied with the result of my project. I think it looks simple and easy to read while still being informative. I think the colors are visually appealing. I was working on it and was almost finished when I realized I messed up on one of the dates and had to restart.
  4. I was tired when I did it so a few pictures are a little to close to the writing but other than that I am really happy with how my timeline turned out.

A. Finding the problem and solutions was quite easy for me because the sources I used had lots of information about sewing machines and clearly outlined the problems. Since I have some knowledge of modern sewing machines I figured out the solutions with ease.

B. I don’t understand what a backwards design actually is so I might have and just not realized it. I started with the oldest sewing machines and its problems and then thought about modern machines and then thought about the future of machines.

C. I am satisfied with the result of my design and solutions. I’m not a good artist so I think my future sewing machine looks kind of weird but I think my ideas are good and I put enough work into the project.

D. I kind of waited until the very last minute to write a few of my paragraphs so I didn’t have a lot of time to edit them so next time I’ll write them earlier so that I have more time to edit.
