Looking back now and reflecting on this semester, I feel extremely proud of my group, especially because this was a new topic for pretty much everyone. Even I was able to learn a lot from being trusted to tell these stories. As Katie, mentioned, we learned a lot about how to approach such a sensitiveContinue reading “Final Blog Post: Jaqueline”

This past week we did our practice presentation. I was initially worried, just because everyone is overwhelmed with their other finals and classes but I think we did a really good job of coming together and getting a majority of the website complete. The feedback that we received was very helpful. Some of the thingsContinue reading “Week 15: Jaqueline”

Next week we begin practice presentations and our team plans on doing a practice run prior to that just to make sure that we’re all on the same page. I am excited for us to finally be able to share a glimpse of what we’ve worked on this semester even if it turns out aContinue reading “Jaqueline: Week 14”

This past week I worked on getting the last of the interviews done and collecting images from our interviewees, and now Meghan and I are just going through and transcribing all of our interviews, which should be done by early next week. I think our group is doing a solid job of staying on topContinue reading “Jaqueline: Week 13”

This week I mainly focused on doing all of the interviews. I was initially really concerned about how we would go about doing this project after moving to remote learning, but things are actually going really well. So far we have 5 interviews done, and I plan on getting three more done by next week.Continue reading “Week 12 Blog: Jaqueline”

Moving forward, I think it’s safe to say that we will no longer be able to conduct in person interviews, or at least not how we had originally hoped. Our group is still trying to figure out the best plan and how we will move forward without equipment, and we are definitely going to haveContinue reading “Week 10 Blog:”

This week was my turn to present for the interactive analysis projects, and I chose to do the Ocean School. Although the topics are different, I think the main goal of both the Ocean school, and our group’s project, are very similar. We both want to raise awareness on an issue that isn’t always obviousContinue reading “Week 9 Blog: Jaqueline”

So far I think our team has been doing a pretty great job of working together. Everyone seems willing to help where they can and we’re starting to meet more outside of class so that helps a lot too. As far as challenges go, I think the main one is just getting all the contentContinue reading “Week 8 Blog”

This week I did not present for the interactive analysis presentations, but it was really interesting to see what everyone else chose to share. The presentations that I found the most interesting were the ones that covered natural disasters. A lot of the people who shared these storytelling projects recognized the importance of photographs andContinue reading “Week 6 Blog: Jaqueline”

Our plan so far for gathering media for this project, is to meet up with the individuals who choose to participate in our project several times throughout the semester, so that we can really get to know what their lives are like, not just at a surface level. Not only that but we also don’tContinue reading “Week 5 Blog: Jaqueline”
