Career Research Data Charts
The career research data was very helpful. Putting all of those three data sets into tables gave me a better visual of what is important. The three sets of information we had to put into tables were the percent of growth over the next 10 years, the amount of college needed, and the average of how much you would make in a year. Those three aspects really had a say in what I really want to do. After we put all of that information into tables, we had to make column charts of the information that was easy to display. After we did that, we had to write a final conclusion that stated the two jobs we really wanted to do. That was probably the toughest part. One thing that I really like doing had a low percent growth and the lowest salary. If I am less likely to get a job in that field, and if I do, I won't make that much money, it isn't a good deal. There were two jobs though that I chose that kind of made my life a lot easier. The final conclusion was very hard to write, but it does have a lot of information that changed my decisions on the careers that I want to look into as I get near, and out of high school.
Glogster Career Ad (shown above)
Before I learned anything about Glogster, I didn't even know it existed. When I first started using glogster, I got confused easily on how to use it, and how to do everything. There were a lot of different tools to use and many ways putting them into the ad. In the ad, I had to put in a couple things that were key. The average salary for a year in the job, how many years of college you have to take, and a little information about what the career is, and what it does. I also had to link a website, or somewhere with information. That is what the underlined words are. I also had to link a video into the ad. Glogster is a very helpful website to go onto and to make career ads. It shows a lot of information in a small ad that people can understand better, and younger people are compatible with. In this assignment, I used new technology skills I never used before. Instead of having a software in the computer, the class used a website, we had to insert and create our own ad/poster, and it was about something that I want to do when I graduate high school. I really enjoyed this assignment because it was about something that I want to do in my life and can really get into. In this assignment, I think that I could have done one thing better. I should have had more time management. The first few days I was fooling around with things on the website when I should have been working. Overall this assignment was very helpful and it taught me that there are cool websites that can be used for school everywhere.

Pixorial Video Project
In the pixorial video project, I learned a lot. In the assignment, I had to record a video on my smartphone, edit it, and share it all in a website called pixorial. While recording, you have to make sure you talk loud enough, and you have to make sure that you are talking clearly. That was a problem for myself considering that I talk fast. Recording on a smart phone was a great idea. It taught us new skills, and we could edit it on the phones a little bit. The only editing on the phone that we could do was change the color of the video, and how the appearance looked. We also had to edit the video on the computer. We had to put in transitions, titles and credits. This assignment was fairly easy to me, I used to edit youtube videos for myself with a similar program. This website, and the editing tool gave me a lot of new knowledge, and it will help me with my youtube videos that I will hopefully be making soon. The pixorial website was very helpful to me, and I will further use it in my high school, and college career.
