This project was given to us in Computer Science and we were basically assigned to create our own websites through Weebly. We were given certain requirements that had to be met, but as far as the content of the website gos, that's all up to you. I find all types of wild life exciting, so I decided to dedicate this website to Marine Life. In this website I split different categories of animals (Marine Mammals, Turtles & Reptiles, and Sharks, Rays, & Fish) into their own pages. And in those pages I showcased animals specific to that category. Below is a screenshot to my Home, click on it and it'll take you to the website.
Why did you choose to show this work sample on your Portfolio?
I spent a lot of time working on this project and I'm happy on how it came out. It's also a decent source of information, however if you're looking for something specific, you won't find it here as I just picked animals I've never heard of and gave info on those ones
How does this work sample represent a 21st Century Skill?
I'd like to think this website represented my Information skills. I spent a long time trying to make it look nice and get my information right. There are tons of different animals there, that I previously didn't know before, that I know alot about now. I also used my Self-Directional skills. I was on a time crunch because my actions were irresponsible, leading me to having only a quarter of my work done, two days before it was due, despite having 2 weeks to work on it. So I sat myself down and got to work, and now I can be proud of how it turned out.
How does this work sample demonstrate your growth? Is there something you could've improved on?
Like I mentioned before, my ability to physically present my information has gotten better, so in a project like this where tons of info has to be presented, it definitely helps. I feel I can definitely work on my time management, because on this project I stretched my time out to the point where I was only like a quarter of the way done on the last day. Thankfully, I got it in and got a perfect score.
