Approaching the end!

Well right now everything is finished. I have the tangible project complete and it is up and running, along with presentation out of the way...Now I am working on my electronic portfolio...my final paper is turned in and the last two things that have to be done are the portfolio and then our final reflection. The website is really easy because I am using my actual website that I created for my project as my outline. The only difference is the information that is on it. In my website there are tabs for:
  • Proposal
  • Action Plan
  • The Process
  • Interview
  • FAQ
  • Sources
  • Contact

I am using 350.com to build again and I am so happy that I discovered that tool because without it, I wouldn't have a very good website! So right now I am just working on the portfolio because it is due next week and then I plan to start the reflection. We only have eight days of school left so it is down to the wire! I'll put the link up for the portfolio when it is done...but until then I have to get to work!

I AM DONE!

Okay everyone, I am finished! There has been so much going on let me take a minute to catch everyone up!

  • On March 12th I presented my project, and I got a 96% A! I am so excited because I was so scared to present and I thought that I did really bad...and to make matter worse I didn't get my results back until the next day. Everyone else that had presented on previous days had gotten their results back on the same day but for the people who presented on my day we had to wait! Talk about nerve wracking :-/ But the results were really good and I am really happy with how things turned out. The panel was really awesome and the one girl even offered to write something to put in the newspaper because she was a PR major. I was really honored that they were so interested in it that they would offer to do that :-) So I will take them up on that offer!
  • Next, I am going to put the link in here so that if anyone wants to go and check out the website they are able to...so here it is! For Teens By A Teen
  • Feel free to leave comments on my blog and let me know what you think about it!

So now that everything is presented and complete it is time to finish all of the other stuff that we need done. I am in the process of finishing my tangible product paper and there are only a few final edits that I have to do on my final paper. The final draft is due this Thursday but I am not worried about that. Then I have to do my electronic portfolio which is going to be really easy because I plan on using the same website builder that I used for my project. Everything is going great and we only have 11 more days of school! So it is a huge relief that it is almost all finished. I will post tomorrow and let everyone know how far I got. Until then...

Woo Hoo

Alrighty guys here is the latest of what has happened:
  • I finished my website and message board
  • I present on March 12th at 8:45am
  • I am working on perfecting my powerpoint
  • I am ready to get this over with!

Time has seriously flown so quick and I cannot believe that it is already March 7th! I never thought that they end of this trimester would come but it is quickly approaching. I am really excited/nervous to present. I am excited because after that I know that I am going to graduate and I don't have to worry about it anymore! I am so glad that I didn't end up with graduation project the last trimester because otherwise I would be so worried about time. Everything really did come together but this powerpoint has to be perfect and I am trying really hard to make sure that the presentation goes off without a hitch. I have practiced once and the only real thing that I had to fix was some of my slides had a bit too much text on them. So I went through and I redid some of the slides and made them much smaller and condensed. The presentation is going to be awesome and I am not going to stress over it.

I am going to work on my powerpoint and get it all finished up over the weekend, therefore it is ready for my next presentation on Tuesday and then on my official presentation on Wednesday the 12th!

I will let everyone know how it looks and upload the file when it is complete!

Until then....
