World Tour Reflections















On My tour I went the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, and Brazil.

Creativity OR Innovation- We had to find a way to creat and advertisement. Animoto only allows 30 second adds so had to be creative to find ways to trim my add.

Communication OR Collaboration- We shared our google docs with you.

Research Fluency OR Information Fluency- Had to find info fast and seach travelocity and stuff quickly.

Critical Thinking- solved 30 second limit on animote.

Problem Solving OR Decision Making- solved 30 second limit on animoto.

Digital Citizenship- didn't plagerize or steal work.

Technology Operations and Concepts-

Used animoto and google docs.

3. What did you learn from the project/assignment? Explain. (2pts)

I learned That Brazilia is very catholic because of the statue.

4. What are you most proud of? Explain. (2pts)

My buget was well done.

5. Are you happy with your work? Explain. (2pts)

Overall I am. My world tour notes are a little sloppy though.

Happy People

I disagree in some ways. In my experience less successful people (money and material wise) are often not as happy as middle class people. I think balance leads to happiness, not necessarily success. On the other hand, if your really poor your can lose happiness due to lack of vital needs. A total balance and balanced state of mind leads to happiness. Optimism doesn't hurt either.

Google sketch was an interesting experience. With the right steps it actually looks real. If your just messing around it looks all weird and stuff. the Parthenon looked pretty sweet. i might actually use this some day.
