I decided to use this work sample in a different manner. Last time I presented this portfolio in October, my advisory teacher really wanted me to present this work sample I have completed in Quarter 1 because it was interesting. This website project was also interesting to me because it had most of the elements from the weebly build toolbar and showed interesting statistics and sources from different sites. At the time it was also one of my favorite topics to discuss so I really put a ton of effort into this work sample. It even has a quiz at the end to test your knowledge.
The goals for this assessment was to create a choice project such as Hot Peppers or Gardening with most of the elements from the free version of weebly. The topics of this project varies from person to person like artists or art compositions. However they all have one or more multimedia and have at least 4 categories, all of which having at least 2 sub-categories and high quality effort. There has to also be a quiz section or a survey of some sort to get the readers feedback. THis also wants you to give your audience a variety of vibes when looking at the user interface and overall design, which boosts creativity. Therefore, the assignment goals were to create a website of your choice which contains most of the elements from weebly and have 4 categories which includes a survey, all of which containing their own respective elements.
This work sample can represent a 21st century skill in a similar manner to the others such as commonly referring to Information skills, but there are other skills involved such as Self-Directional Skills. This is because Weebly is commonly used as a portfolio, information website, or an online store. Given these properties of weebly, its possible that this work sample can strengthen our knowledge of weebly which could help us create a more creative and much more visually appealing portfolio. Therefore, this work sample has been proved to display and even help me with my portfolio by having to have researched the Scoville Scale and the unique properties of this project.
This can demonstrate my current growth by being able to choose and think of potential subjects and information for spicy foods and/or tools such as hot peppers like the Bell Pepper and the Carolina Reaper, to Pepper spray, an item used by law enforcement to stun criminals. This can also demonstrate my most commonly referred to ability to research about this topic and the ability to know and use the weebly elements correctly. Therefore, even though this was my first time using weebly, this can demonstrate what i've learned from it by being able to create a unique project known to be related to the scoville scale.
I could find new opportunities for improvement by adding a better vibe to the background and probably expanding upon the website. I am totally new to weebly so there should be much to improve like darkening the background so viewers can access the top bar more easily. I could've also made more interesting facts and made a longer overview of thing like "what is hot sauce and what is it made of?". The list goes on. Even though I am new to weebly, I still made this site interesting and fun to learn. All in all, I have chosen this work sample due to popular demand, it was interesting, displayed a plethora of 21st century skills, and can show what I have learned and what I could do to improve.
