Passion project #7-The journey

Posted on by

As my passion project has came to an end it is now time to reflect on everything that I have done. Firstly I’m going to tell you about the pros and cons of doing an E-Learning passion project.

The pros of working at home are that you can work on your passion project for as long as you like, because your at home. The cons on the other hand is that there are not. Any teachers to help you with this project in person. The pros and cons balance each other out.

Through the this journey I had to learn to do things on my own. My parents are super busy at work and I obviously cant get help from a teacher. For example I had to learn how to research on my own. I went to different websites and took out information from all of them.

There also has been one last thing that I have truly learned about through this journey.  I love researching when I am researching something that I like.

I really hope that we do something like this again!

Passion Project Post #6 – The Final Product

As you heard in my last post I have been struggling trying to figure out what should be in my final product. But that challenge has passed. After figuring out what tool put in the video I had to actually make the video. First I wrote a script for me to read. Then I recorded myself. After an hour and a half of hard work I had my narration completed. Next I inserted videos and pictures to help viewers understand what was going on, this took an hour. Then I revised showed my family and went back to my normal work.

But when I woke up the next morning my video was gone. I  tried to get it back but it wa no use. And the worst thing was I had just told Mr. DeBerry that I would be done by tomorrow!

I didn’t know hat to do. But I then realized that my voiceover clips were still there, so I put them back together and that was done. I spent the next hour an a half putting all of my media and videos back in.

At least it was finished. I plan to share my project on Wednesday even though I am don today. Stay tuned for more posts!

Blog Post #4-Learning about myself

Throughout this passion project I have done many different things,  such as writing and reading. But through this project I think that I have spent the most time on Researching. I find that when I find something interesting, and is what I am researching about, I won’t stop until I get all of the information that I need. I will just keep reading without having any will to stop.

That is another reason that I think that I chose a good topic, I chose something interesting that I want to learn about.

In addition to researching I find that I am also a big blogger. After all I have already wrote more than the required number.

I can’t wait until I finish my research and I can work on my final product.

Passion Project #3-Researching

So far my researching has been going very well. I am happy to say that I am very much liking the topic I picked. I also have found so many good resources.

NASA has proved to be very helpful. And so have Illinois and Cal techs websites. But I also have found two more helpful resources. An encyclopedia with multiple pages on rockets, and a book about engineering witch also has good information on rockets. These resources are making it easier for me to answer my sub questions. I am relieved to see that I have many resources. And I am also happy that not all of them are online, because if something happens like it did yesterday where the internet crashes, I don’t k now where I would get my research from.

In addition to the information I am giving on my blog I am also now have a google doc with more information there.

Stay tuned for more posts.
