This part of the project was all about reflecting on our own work and knowing what we had liked and not liked. It was mainly to see what we had done well and what we could have done better, not to mention how the whole class could have done if everything we learned was taught differently.

I think that I was a self-directed learner who demonstrated competency in goal setting, time management, and organizational skills by having all of my work organized so I could set my goals to when I wanted these things to be done. I am a person who likes organization and when all of my work is organized I feel as if everything I have set goals for will be easy to do.

This is my reflection for this part of the project.

I really enjoyed the create part of the project, because I was able to use all of my prior knowledge to make my very own flash animation. It felt so good to be able to use my knowledge and make this animation because I had just been itching to. I loved trying everything new to me, as I didn’t quite remember some things that had to go into the animation to make it better. This had to be my favorite part of the project mainly because it was the most fun, as you got to use your creative instincts to be able to make up a whole knew animation of your choice.

There was no part of the project that I’d say I didn’t like. I enjoyed all of it. I loved the research about the e-cards as I was amused by most of the ones I watched, and I also got so many great ideas for my e-card. Also the planning part was awesome I felt as if I was like a scriptwriter, I just had so much to write, and so much that I wanted to include in my animation. It was just an experience in itself as I was able to keep a very open mind and any idea that came though I grabbed onto it to see what I could make from it. And the evaluate part was really good as you got to see what everyone else had thought up, I was able to see how many people had the same idea and how many people’s were different.

I guess that in the end this project was just perfect for me. I liked the way it was set up and I wouldn’t want to change anything. I feel as if, anything was changed I wouldn’t have learned as much as I did, it’s as if something that was important to know or have included wouldn’t have been known to all of us.

The technology design cycle helped me so much; I was able to organize my work so much better, and it made more sense with the design cycle because it takes you in steps, it directs you and teaches you everything that you need to know. I had already used the design cycle in Australia; it helped there to but not as much as here. It was just the best way to teach something I feel.

The skills that I learned this year are priceless I could use them to make an animation on anything, I feel as if it is the best way of getting to the younger generations and letting them know about certain topics. I feel as a university student I could use my skills to produce a project with some facts maybe in a flash animation, and as an adult just make them for fun or for a project at work. These skills will help me to complete projects when I want to show something like a cartoon strip that I made up myself or something like that I could just make it a flash animation instead.
