The Making Of My Sway Questions
What Questions Did You Need To Research In Order To Create Your Sway?
Mainly, I just searched about the element in general, with questions like, “Plutonium information with the periodic table,” “Plutonium interesting facts,” “Who discovered plutonium, etc, etc. I used Tiktok, Google and Youtube to find these answers.
What New Or Familiar Digital Tools Did You Try To Uses As You Worked Through This Project?
For a new tool, I used the website Sway. It was very easy to put together the assignment with the help of this app. For an old tool, I used Word to take notes before I started the project.
What Was The Process You Used To Investigate The Topic And How Did You Verify And Cite The Information You Found?
I took all of the questions and looked up the answers online. After I did that, I pasted the answers into Word for when I made my Sway. I took all of the information from the notes and turned them into paragraphs. I’m not sure what “verify” means in this situation, but I linked all the sources and pictures I used above.
How Did The Process Of Completing This Challenge Go?
It was hard at first to get motivated to start since I was very confused about the assignment, but once I asked some questions and started to gather more information, it became a lot easier. I used a lot of different strategies to keep myself engaged like watching videos on the element or asking my friends for help.
What Could You Have Done Better?
I definitely could’ve started sooner, instead of waiting until the last minute and rushing everything, but i think with the time I gave myself, I did a decent job. In the future, I will try to ask more questions and procrastinate less on work that I don’t understand.
