| What I have learned- | 06-25-08- 07-12-2008 | 30 hours | Comments What I have learned is that when I stop thinking about things and just start doing, I can get a lot done. I have also held back and that has limited my potential but when I just start doing, I get a lot done. I guess this is due to the fact that I have been put underpressure and I had no choice but to produce. This has allowed me to get others around me, like the rethinkers, to start producing as well. I have been able to get everyone on task and give out orders, which if you look at the photos of what we have produced, that is a resolute. Of course the photos are all the efforts of the students. I have learned how to use flash more effectively and get the most out of it. My skills are not to the point of Leon or Victoria but they are getting there. I have also learned how to save a flash file and publish it. On top of that, I have learned how to upload the files to the Wiki and then put them on my profile page and the game page. On a different note, my passion for working with students have been reaffirmed because of Rethink because one thing I was reminded of is that students are brillent, you just have to tap into that. An example of what I am talking about is Leon/Ronaldo. If you click on the game page for the Ultimate Lunch Tray and scroll down, you will see cherries. They created that without much experience working with flash. When I saw it, I was taken a back because I was so proud of them because they created something so amazing. |
| What I have learned- || 06-25-08- 07-14-2008 ||30 hours || Comments What I did today was finish off the screen that I started on Saturday. It is pretty much done all thanks to Victoria. It is very interesting how things turned out. In addition to that I assisted the rethinkers with whatever help they needed.
07-15-2008 Today I worked on screen 5. I had to redo the foods that I had on the conveyor belt because they were too small. In addition, I had to try and make the foods consistent with screen 6.
