REFLECTING ON MY FIRST YEAR

During this year I have learnt many new things and been exposed to many new academical experiences. To start I have been taking the first real language course in my life, I have been enjoying it and have learnt how to have a simple conversation with a peer in my language Clase. This year I have been able to experience shop classes such as metal and wood, both of which I have enjoyed and will Rember from my first year. I have been exposed to a higher level of math and have been taught algebra and Poly numerals. In my English class I have Experienced the workings of a trial through a mock trial in which I was a prosecution Lawer, and I won the case due to being able to find the needed evidence for the task at hand. During my first year at Centennial, I have been exposed to new experiences and learnt many things.

My Favorite Website

https://mycentennial.sd43.bc.ca/

My favorite educational website is Edu blogs. I feel that Edu blogs supported my learning by giving me a way to reflect on my thinking and see all of my past work. In doing this it has made me a better student and has allowed me to improve my education through self-reflection. That is why Edu blogs is my favorite educational website.

My Favorite Video

I chose the parodic table song because I thought that it is a fun way to learn the periodic table. I used the song to make learning the periodic table fun because it is really boring sometimes.

My Favorite Image

I have chosen this image as my favorite academic photo because I used it for one of my favorite projects. In the project I needed an image of something to advertise and promote using the strategy’s I learnt in Clase. I was able to make this photo into an add that you would probably see and think “that’s a scam.” Eather way it showed the basic requirements for the project such as different ways to advertise as well as how to format a photo into an advertisement. I was proud of this project and chose this photo because of it. This is a photo of the completed project.

My Favorite Quote

 “You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.”

Deepak Chopra

I have chosen this quote because I feel that it illustrates what many students face in school. They are scared of failure so the stop working hard, and they will end up being less successful, they chose fear. Then there are kids who make sure they are committed and succeed despite the fear of failure they commit themselves. They chose commitment.

ADL Social Studies- Ethical Judgement 

 Is Violence justified in a Revolution?

A) How the use of AI assisted me in developing this project. In this project I used Ai to search google for me instead of looking for every tiny bit of information myself.

B) How I ensured that the work I created was still my own, rather than just a product of the AI. I made sure that I didn’t use Ai for everything only for searching google. I also looked at the site that the Ai gathered the information from to make sure I understood it and could put it into my own words.

C) I agreed with the position I had to argue. I agreed with the position that some violence in a revolution can be a good thing rather than a bad thing. I believe this because in the world we live in it is hard to make a huge change to the way we live without a little bit of violence.  I also believe that as long as the violence is useful and comes in the necessary amount, accomplishes what it was used for, and makes the lives of people better after the revolution, the violence was a good thing.

Core Competency Reflection 

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include making sure I understand the information I am reading, check to see if the information makes sense and doesn’t undermine my other arguments or information, and if I don’t understand the information, I will ask somebody else for their opinion whether it is relevant or not.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I usually get right to the point in a polite way to make sure we are getting off to the right start. I will check in with my group members to make sure they are doing their part well and will help them if they need it. In the end I make sure we have finished the project in a way that we are all happy with. basically, I make sure the work is done and move on.

Advertisement Persuasion Project

My Advertisement

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit

it is important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement, because you have to know that you are making your own chose and not the company’s reasons you have to remember by buying their product, they are benefitting more then you..

one of the types of advertisement is logical reasoning. It includes proven facts charts and statistics. It is affective because people cannot deny cold hard facts and reasoning’s if you have a lot of research, you will have no problem convincing an audience.

Card staking is an effective strategy in advertising. It is effective because you hide all the bad facts behind the good ones, while it is not hard to see past it with a small amount of critical thinking people who glaze over add are sure to be persuaded.

Core Competency Reflection

I used to think that ads were created by mindless zombies and now I know they are really smart and cunning people because, there are many types of ways to advertise a product but only a few effective ways. If you’re too subtle they won’t notice if you’re too obvious they will know you tried to manipulate them.

One strategy or activity that stimulated my imagination on this project was really thinking about what the capitol citizens would buy and how to get them to buy it. I enjoyed the time I had created my product and then letting my thoughts spiral down the different possibility’s.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when I was shown an example of how someone had marketed a product and I decided to do the same thing but a bit different. I feel that the strategi was effective and will work well.

Digital Footprint

Social Competency Reflection

Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include Balancing work and play. I always try to balance work and play so that I can work when I need to and play when I have free time. whenever I have work, I try to do it before so that I don’t forget about it and come to school the next Moring just to find out I didn’t do my homework.

I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as using teams and Microsoft 365 influenced my choice of course/hobbies/ teams because I am not a very involved person on the internet, I don’t use social media or really play online games. Because of this I am really active offline I play sports and hang out with my family most of the time.

I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, including not getting hired, getting accepted into a university, or getting in trouble. But if you have a good foot print you may get a lot more jobs or get accepted into a university. so I adjust my actions to, working hard, thinking about what I do on my computer knowing it could affect my future greatly.
