The Person I most Admire Reflections
The Person I most Admire: Cassadee Pope.
- In this assignment we were required to research a person on the Internet, in magazines and in literature. We were supposed to choose someone we admired and dedicate a website to them. With the information provided on our website we were supposed to persuade the class to admire them as well. After learning how to embed pictures in weebly we were required to use many pictures and have bibliographical information on our person. We spent time experimenting with the basics in weebly such as how to embed a link to a website and making sure we linked all of our pictures. We also spent time learning copyright laws. The four required pages were an introduction page, a biographical page, an accomplishments page and a citations page. This assignment was assigned in order to give us a background in using weebly and learning how to research.
- In this project I was able to experience and use new technology skills that I admired but was unable to do myself. I was able to add pictures with links so that if I clicked on my picture I would be transported to where the image is found on the web. I also experimented with other tools such as how to add HTML's to cite my sources and make them work as well as how to embed videos even though it wasn't required. This project allowed me to learn technology skills using weebly tools.
- During this assignment I learned the value of patience and good research. Now we had to determine if pictures were legal to use along with information. I also needed patience to learn that the information won't always come to you and the value of a reliable source.
- I feel as though I used pictures and formatting my information well in this project. My colors were readable but eye catching. I also made good use of the pictures by incorporating a photo gallery page. My pictures were directly related to the project and added to the appearance of the website. I even gave extra information about my person by having a fun facts page opposed to only having what was required. I also incorporated videos which were not a requirement for this assignment. When it comes to the information that my website contained I think I did a good job.
- To improve my assignment I could have created an animation or added a slide show to add to my website along with adding more hyperlinks. I feel I should have added an interview of Cassadee other students had interviews which I feel helped persuade me to admire them and I should have done the same.
