Podcast

I listened to a podcast about baseball. It talked about how teams looked at training camp and different prospects from different teams in the league. He went over upcoming stars and how some struggling teams would fair next year. I enjoyed learning about baseball this way because it is much more easy to listen and pay attention to the podcast as opposed to reading a long article. People opt to create a podcast because its easier and more fun to do. The podcast was reliable because it was on ESPN's website.

Research Project Wrap-Up

       While doing the research project I really had a good time because I learned some very interesting things about the country the Bahamas as well as many things about the countries my classmates did. My favorite part of the research project was learning new things about the Bahamas, but I really disliked going to multiple websites to find one simple fact. An example of this is when I tried to find the year the Atlantis Hotel and Resort was made the browser kept giving me results for booking rooms there, not for the year it was made. When I actually presented my project after finding all the information and putting it into a power point I thought I did a very good job of relaying the important points to the class. A weak point of my project was that I am not very good with Microsoft PowerPoint so some of my animations and transitions were not very good. I think Mrs. Fowler should continue giving out this country project because it is a very interesting way to work on researching the internet.
