Fiji Around The World Project

Core Competency Reflection

Communication Competency

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my Earth Science project on Fiji. I created a visually engaging PowerPoint that explained Fiji’s volcanic activity, plate tectonics, and environmental challenges. I used images, and clear informative paragraphs, making sure it was both informative and easy to understand.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency

I used to think Fiji was just a tropical vacation spot, and now I know it’s also a geologically region with a lot of Earth science significance, like its location on the Pacific Plate and exposure to natural hazards.

Personal Awareness and Responsibility

Some short-term goals for myself include improving my time management so I don’t leave projects to the last minute. I plan to achieve this by setting earlier deadlines for myself. That way, I can lower stress and produce higher quality work.

Goal

One goal I have going forward is to seek, develop my options as demonstrated by how I chose to present my project. I considered doing a written report or poster but realized a PowerPoint would better show images. Going forward, I want to keep thinking carefully about how I present ideas.

Earthworm Lab Dissection

During the dissection of this earthworm, I enjoyed being able to visualize and learn through hands-on experience. Working with someone during this lab allowed me to the enjoy the lab and experience the core competency of communication. That is because I successful worked with a partner, and when working with someone it requires communication and effective collaboration. In this dissection Collaboration plays a significant role in group work. It improves the overall outcome, compared to taking arguing over each other’s ideas. In this lab, my partner and I worked together to identify body parts and structures, ensure that we both knew where and what they were. Which led to both of us completing the lab correctly. In conclusion, this lab showed the importance of teamwork when working with others.

Positive Social Media

Positive social media posts

Reflection

I think having a digital footprint and posting on social media can be good and bad. It can let college recruiters see that you car and are actively on social media. It will always show college recruiters all the nice things you do but it will also show all the bad things you share. If you accidentally share something that you weren’t supposed to that could ruin your career.

Core Competency Reflection

  • I can analyze evidence to make judgements. I chose this core competency because I have to analyze what’s given to me to come up with a final product
  • I can reflect on my thinking. I chose this core competency because I have had to reflect on my thinking while making this edublog
  • I can identify my strengths and identify my potential. I chose this core competency because during this edublog I realized making edublogs is not my strength.
  • I can advocate for myself. I chose this core competency because I have had to speak for myself and do my work
  • A goal I have is to work on making edublogs. I can work to that goal by completing more edublogs and posting more.
