Assignment: Adapting Stream Assessment Teacher: Ms. Wilson Class: Field Ecology
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? The 21st Century Skill I feel this assignment best addresses is Information Skills. I had to take information regarding assessing streams and turn it into an assessment that could apply to a Hawaiian fishpond.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I am most proud of the visual appeal of my slideshow and how thorough I was with transferring information. I did a good job keeping the information that still applied and adjusting what would not.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I improved this 21st Century Skill by practicing processing information and applying it to my personal use.
What was most difficult about completing this task? The most difficult part about this project was transferring the information about streams into an easy to understand, simple slideshow presentation. How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently? If I could start over I would keep my presentation the same, but improve my vocabulary section and practice presenting it so I did not have to look at the screen.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? I have spent a lot of time transferring information from sources to presentations, so this is just a more complex version of that where I need to spend more time processing.
How can you apply this to future learning? I can use this a lot in future learning to teach myself how to better understand more complex ideas.
