Reflection of Reflecting

From the speaker Alexander, I learned that one way to make the talk show more interesting is to focus the topic around a personal experience. I would like to find a news article relating to someone sickness or death from eating improperly because of the foods they had access to. The challenge that our group is facing is creating the script and finding placement for every segment of the show. Although we have a clear image painted in our minds its hard to get that across to the page. We can solve those problems by putting more time and effort into our script. After the script the next step would be to design the set. Being a facilitator of the Human Barometer game in Second Life was different but it was fun, I did not expect every one to be so engaged. I prefer playing the game in real life, only because we had a lot of technological issues. I believe minus those issues it could have been extremely rewarding.

Aggravation && Team work

Today was a very busy day. I started off on a down note and I am ending on a down note, but during the course of the day my mood went up and down. I had fun today although it was very aggravating to me. I think that it had nothing to do with work but more so the mood that I came to work in. I learned a lot about my project and we wrote a screen projection. Personal connections about how my topic affects my community is the face that I eat these foods and they way its produced definitely has a major effect on me. Interviewing each other was cool I learned a lot about camera angles and eye hand coordination. Some strategies are being on the same page as your group members, and keeping aggravation levels at a minimum. The group is progressing although there is a lot of aggravation on my part we are getting along further than usual.
