HTH Video Inspectors: 2011

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

This is the last post that I am going to put on my blog. This is about my POL. OK to tell you the truth I was not prepared to do my POL I was too afraid even when I practice I felt like I did not know what I was going to talk about. At the beginning of this I thought that it was going to be easy because all we had to do is take people on a virtual tour around the school and give brief info on the specific topic. But then Mrs. Ruff is teacher said that we had to right a reflection of the 20 percent time project. And present it at the end of my partner and I project. When the big day came I was nervous I was about to throw up my parent, my partner parents were here, and everyone else that we invited was here. And when we took them on the virtual tour we only took them to the plaques that my partner and I made not the other ones. When I presented my reflection I felt that I said like a lot, and I felt like I did carry myself as well and did not answer the questions as well as I should.Overall I thought my POL could have been better. That’s why my next POL is going to be great. what i learned during this project is
time management. how to be a better student which is not slacking off and hanging out in the hall ways. and when
i am in class not sit around not doing any thing . what i also learned is to speak with confidence i mean you can be nervous but just be confident in what you are saying and your self because that is one of the keys to succeed.

Our projects not done we have a long way to go we have to make sure that these plaques are finalized and make sure that the corrections are complete I am sure we are going to get this done.

Finally Finished

The picture to the left is what our final plaques are going to look like. As you can see we have a title and a description of what it is. Then at the bottom there are two tags. One that will send you to a video and another that will send you to some literature. This project is over with and as of today I believe our project has been finished. I know that we got a lot done today but as of one of the group members said, We should be finished in 2 seconds. So I have faith in this group member as hopefully she will turn in the last piece to this project and it will be finished. After I finished my Presentation of Learning I felt that I actually learned a lot more than I thought I did. This project was really helpful and it taught me a life lesson. Which was to do what I need to do before I do what I want to do. So pretty much what that means is to get my work done and finished then start to do what I would like to do. I felt that I did really well on my PoL and I reflected honestly and I spoke my mind to the fullest. So I would like to thank my teachers for letting me do this project and I would like to that my partner Zeke for helping through this process but last but not least I would like to thank my mentor Patrick Hayman for being there for my partner and I. Thank you all. By the way this is going to be my last blog post.

Wrapping It all UP

This week Me and Zeke are trying to get all tags working/created. We also are trying to get some other people in the group learning how to make some tag just because we need some help. Because there is a lot to do and a little of people. We need to start finding literature tags because we can't just have media, we need to have something they can read off of. Once this task is completed we need to start putting up frames and the actual thing that goes into the frames. Then we will be finished :)

This week I and my partner was helping are peers making the Microsoft tags and it has been a struggle because the literature part of the tags did not work because it took us only to the High Tech High website. But one of the final draft is finished and printed in color and has been edited by Mrs. Ruff. But the other ones need a lot of work but I think that it is going OK were are going to get them done and everything is going to be fine. I think that this is going be the bes tour. and are POL is coming up so i'm ready to host this tour as well

Me and my partner Zeke are helping peer critique paragraphs that are going to be put onto the plaques. We are also trying to get the tags to work for the iPhone. We also need to find literature so that we can hook the tag to it because not all people would want to watch a movie. After this we have to have a paper copy of our whole tour so that as a group we can do a walk through. After the walk-through the next day we can have our teachers go on the tour and give us feedback. So by Friday we need to have everything finished.

This week me and my partner wrote three paragraphs on specific topics about high tech high. my was PBL Project Based learning and talk about what project based learning is and how we use it at high tech high. my partner did are robotics team the holy cows. The last paragraph we did together is about the sever room which lets us access all of the computer and laptops at high tech high.

We also help are peer Alex with the tags and by going on Google look up QR Generator and put are website link URL in place then it will give us the tag for it this is what we have so far

Putting it all Together

This week my partner and I are trying to put all of the videos we have together so as a group we can watch them all to see which ones are the best fit for our plaques. We are also reading the cards to figure out of them are also the best fit. After all this we are planning to help write some of the description for our plaques also. Then once all of this is done all we have left to do is to get the plaques and put all of it on there. We also need to create the QR tags which isn't really that hard. By the way if you want to know how the tags work go to this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gACImxLv6o. We are going to have a meeting on Tuesday that will have our whole group watching the videos we found so that we can come to a conclusion of the best one.

So far this is what we have completed:

Friday, May 20, 2011

this week I and my partner made a list of what videos that we are using for the plaques. we had hard time finding the videos because the topics we picked had no videos behind it. but some of the videos were easy like PBL (Project Based Learning) .

Weekly Reflection

So far this week my partner and I are trying to sort out all of the best videos on the website. The catergories we have so far are:

Peer Critique
Typical Day
How teachers are trained
High Tech High building/Military building
College Data
College Day
Advisory
Student Lottery
Exhibition
PoL
Intership

We have the projected base learning video so far and hoping to find videos to fit all of these catergories. Since you have uploaded alot of these videos it would be really helpful if you know any good videos that would fit in any of these catergories.

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

This week I and my partner went to a meeting to talk about what I and my partner is what we need to get done by Friday. Are meeting was in the main commons. I suggested that we should watch at least 50 videos or more. Because we have only 4 weeks to watch all 250. And make a list of what videos that are the best to give the groups ideas so that they can make the plaques. I had an idea on one of the plaques which is outside Larry office we should have him be recognized as the CEO of high tech high.

Weekly Reflection

This week my partner and I had a conference with a larger group of ours. We came up with, my partner and I do about 50 videos each a week. So now we are searching for videos about what High Tech High is, What is project base learning, and the art we do here. So if you have any ideas or anything that would help us to find the best video about these subjects it will help alot. Thank you for reading this.
