OHpedia Project Reflection

How was the OHpedia project important to you?

It was important to me because I learned a lot more about World War II than I had thought I would. I got to completely focus on this one standard for a good amount of time and really learn about it.

How did your expectations of what you could do as a learner change throughout this project?

I thought that when we first started this project, it would be really boring and uninteresting and we wouldn't put a lot of effort into it. But as we worked more and more on it, I found that I was interested in what was going on. So by getting to create a project that Nathan and I both wanted to do and by getting excited about it and motivating each other, we created a website with our information that I am really proud of.

In what ways did you become more persistent or tolerant throughout the process?

There were a few different situations where I became more persistant and/or tolerant. One of them was when we were getting close to the deadline and we had a lot of benchmarks left to write about. This is when Nathan and I buckled down and worked really hard to complete them. We kind of had a fun race going as well to see who could finish first. We kept each other motivated by sending the information to each other whenever we would finish something. We both were also very tolerant with our crazy schedules and trying to find time to meet. Nathan made sure that we stayed in constant communication and I made sure that we were always on task. This way we created a tolerance with each other.

What satisfied you most about this project?

I was really satisfied when we put all of the information on the website and made it look really good. I also enjoyed making the flow chart, I think that that was a really important part of our project. When I finished it I felt so accomplished and I was truly proud of the project that we created.

What things about this project really matched your style of learning?

I really liked having a partner there to help me stay organized and not lose track of what we are doing. Also, a lot of this project involved reading and writing, which are both my strong suits.

What will you always remember about this project?

Pertaining to the actual project, I will remember The Nuremberg Trials the most because they were the benchmark that I was most interested in. Personally, I will remember all of the mornings that Nathan would wake me up by texting me and telling me that it's time to get to work!
