a student’s self-reflection after week 1 of the freshman course - love the detail on the self-evaluation, and I really love what he says about curiosity…
This baby is a good representation of what I feel right now. But first, business ho!
Hard Work-
Frankly, I worked my rear off to make my video. This isn’t an opinion, this isn’t a point of view- it’s a fact! I spent an hour and a half trying to make it look decent. Add an extra thirty minutes if you want to know how long it took me to get it to it’s current look! That’s not to mention the time I spent inserting music, my voice and things I don’t even remember doing but apparently did! This stuff adds up. Long story short, I know that I put hard work into my video. 5/5 for effort
Usefulness-
I am very sure that my Prezi is useful, and I can prove one case of it working! I am a lousy chef, to say the least. However, my dad told me those instructions, and I can make rice like a pro. That aside, it is a very clear video. You can choose when to move the slides and you can both hear and see the instructions. Plus, it’s teaching you how to make rice. Rice is everywhere. I rarely go a week without seeing rice. Now, I do understand that some people may not really eat rice all that often, or just don’t like it. This video may be lost to them, but in the long run my prezi teaches you, in just over two minutes, how to make rice and how to handle it. I think that that is very useful. 4.5/5 for usefulness
Appeal-
This portion is the only one where I am a little iffy on. As you, the reader, might have figured out, I think that my Prezi is the cat’s pajamas. I think that it is great because it is simple, quick, professional looking and has elements that allow both those who learn through listening or reading to grasp the concept presented. But, a friend threw at me a query that caught me in the rear. “Why would people choose this video on the internet over another video on the internet that is just a person speaking with text coming underneath?” Because it has Jazz in the background? Because it looks neat? This question frustrates me because it’s true! Yeah, it looks all technological and it has cool music in the background, but is it really all that different from the other videos? I really don’t know.
Appeal- 4/5
