Categories: CST IST PROJECT 5- ETHICS AND THE MEDIA.
1. Describe TWO things that you have learnt during this lesson.
Well a couple of things that I have learnt in the duration of this lesson was that The Media is definitionaly not always going to be 100% true and provide the accurate stories and they will change it up a bit making stories a whole lot different than the actual truth.
Another thing that I have learnt in this lesson is about the television show media watch and how they work and how they aim to pick out all the mistakes and lies that the media throw out to the world.
 
2. Identify areas you want to concentrate on during this project that you need a greater improvement from the last project.
Well one thing that I really need to work on is my time managment. I feel that I need to be more organized and always aim to do my work earlier so that I can hand it in on time and also get better marks in that area of the project which is always handy.
Another thing would have to be is to get more into the project and to throughouly understand it so that I can get better marks at the end of the day.
3. Discuss Two ways in which your group could resolve any disputes during this process.
Well the group contract is always there and can be reflected upon any time by looking through it and seeing things like rules and consequences ie.
We could also hold a group meeting and discuss all the issues which need to be discussed, if their are any disputes or anything.

Journal Entry 6 (Final Reflection)

Posted on July 1, 2008 by dblom.
Categories: IST/ CST Project 4- Images of Jesus.

Q1. How well did your group work?

Throughout thus CST IST project 4 of the Images of Jesus, I myself believe that my group worked extremely well as a group and cooperated well as one whole group. We interacted with each other, and if someone was away, we would somehow called then or communicated with them and told them exactly what needed to be done and when for example if it needed to be completed on a due date etc.

Q2. Would you work with the same group of students again? Why?

There are two sides or opinions to this question for me; The first one would be yeah, i might work with the same people again due to the fact that because I have worked with them in this project and i got to know them really well and i know that we all work well as a group, i would stay in this group and know that we would work well as a team or group. But on the other hand I would choose or i am willing to work with another group so that I can work and know about other people in this class and know about their personalities etc.

Q3. How much effort did you put into this project?  What could you have done better?

I believe that I have put alot of effort into this project, and I have put much more in and I feel that i have put more effort in than any other project or sudject in pbl. There are still somethings that I could have done better. Some of these components include, working better and completing work earilier and not to the last minute.

Q4. Do you think your final wikispace was your best work? Why? 

I dont really think that the fianl wikispace was not a depiction of my best work because I felt that some small things like the fonts and the images in the places might have screwed our wikispaces, therefore not the best work that me and my group could have come out with at the end of the day. 

Q5. What did you think of the project when you received it? Why?

I thought that this project was not going to be good or not going to be a success, because i thought that it would be boring and a waste of time and not worth participating in.

Q6. What do you think of the project now you have completed it? Why?

After completing this project, I now feel as though it is the best project in CST IST that I have ever done through my experience in PBL. If not the best project in IST RE, then the best in PBL so far. It is because we get to use things or softwares like Photoshop which is always fun and convienent to use. And we always get to edit and change Jesus by using photoshop.

Q7. What did you like in the project? Why?

Like I mentioned before, I like this  project becaue:

- We got to change andd use images of jessu so think or make out own imges of jesus.

- We got to use photoshop which is a program that I love using alot in cst ist because of the fact that I got to learn it and got use to it so much.

Q8. What did you not like in the project? Why?

To be completely honest with you, there is or was not one thing that I didnt like about this project as everything  was so good about it.

Q9. How can the teachers make your next project better?

The teachers could have maybe made us make our original image of Jesus for all art time periods. And the teachers could have been a little bit more organised and more straight forward with the project.
