Reflection on Genius Hour (Sept 22)

Reflect on what I did this week?
This week I worked on quite a few things for my Genius Hour Project. To start off, I came to a final decision for my genius hour question (refer to last blog post). I am very excited about creating a campaign to stop texting and driving and cannot wait to use a variety of different tools. I want to ensure that my campaign is personal and inspiring. On top of that, I completed my Powtoon and completed my google slides power pitch. Powtoon and google slides were both 2 different computer tools that I have never used before. I am proud of myself for learning how to effectively use these programs.

Reflect on what I learned about your topic today:
Today I learned that there are lots of inspiring videos on the web that promote to not text and drive. I am going to review these videos and definately make sure they are a part of my final presentation.

Include any trouble you may have encountered:
I struggled to figure out how to embed my google slides pitch to my blog. But, with the help of my Technology class teacher, I was finally able to properly enable it.

Reflect on what questions you have from this week:
I would like my final campaign to basically be a Ted Talk. With that being said, I would like to do a speech as well as show specific videos, share statistics, and share my story. I am thinking my Ted Talk will be more like 10 minutes, I hope this is okay?

Explain where you go from here:
-I need to continue to do research on my topic
-I need to decide how I am going to show my story
-I need to figure out how I am going to engage my audience in a TedTalk even if I am not actually presenting it to the class. Maybe they can just think in their head individually as I play the video? No going into group work...

Explain what you need to do/get before next Genius Hour:
-I need to start brainstorming for my TedTalk
-I need to pick strong statistics that are effective to my audience
-I need to interview friends and family on why they text and drive. Use this at the beginning of my TedTalk
-I need to decide how I am going to show videos in my TedTalk - am I going to use the classroom and show a prezi behind me perhaps?
