ITL Reflection
I learned that global warming is major concern to the whole planet. Global warming needs to be toped as soon as possible. I learned that global warming is being caused by people and all their polluting of harmful gasses going up into the atmosphere. I leaned that global warming is causing natural disasters to be getting stronger, for example hurricanes like Hurricane Katrina that New Orleans.
I have learned that working with people internationally is a lot harder than working with people locally. Some of the skills that we as a class have to use to work with people internationally are being able to keep in contact with people far away. There are a lot of different tools that need to be used to make this project work. I think that the most important tool that we used was the wiki. The wiki is what brought together in the first place. The wiki is where we did all of our planning and where we kept in touch. This wiki was located at international.pbwiki.com. There are many other tools that we used like Skype, Pinacle, and a lot of other things.
Working closer together would have made this project much easier but not as much fun. If we had better software this project would have been easier. I think that this project would have been more interesting if there were more groups involved around the world.
I leaned that telling a story with all these things is much more complicated, but tells the story a lot better. I leaned that the software is a lot more difficult to deal with rather than a pencil. When you publish it on line I learned that it isn’t really yours anymore. You can’t tell people what it is supposed to mean. The readers think of it as whatever. I also learned that when you publish it online you have to show all the credits for the videos, pictures, and music or else they can sue you, so you have be sure that you show all the credits.
The ITL project was a great idea and I think every class should something like it.
