- About Me:
- My name is Alaina Montoya, I am 17 years old, and I currently attend Los Angeles county High School For The Arts. I have many interests such as Make-Up Artistry, Acting, Dance, Water polo, Wakeboarding, Partying, and Visual Art. I am many different ethnicities but the main ones are Spanish, White, and Philipino. I’ve moved nearly 11 times, all of which were in California. I plan to go to Mudd Make-Up Designery after my senior year. I have developed a vast interest in the world of special effects make-up and would love to explore it further. I would like to travel all around the world and meet new people and learn about their culture first hand.
Reflection:
My topic was 11A wireless connectivity. Everyone in the group was responsible for editing the Wiki, I added a chunky paragraph about Arts, Entertainment, and Leisure, and I also added pictures to give a visual aspect. My video gave the definition and showed examples of wireless devices that people use everyday. I used the ning to upload my video and talk with others in my group. The wiki also had a discussion board where we would all converse about the vision of the page. . I learned so much from this project, just the collaboration and teamwork alone was a learning experience. The whole project was very structured and well put together, it was easy to find everything. I learned how to upload and edit and shoot videos, which is a big plus for me. Everyone was just so nice and willing to help with anything you needed, it was very hospitable. Downloading the outsourced video it was a breeze, and inserting it into my video wasn’t complicated, but uploading the entire video onto the Wiki was really a challenge for me. Also I had an issue with finding time to shoot my video. To improve the project more, I would just say to have us do a series of videos, and hope that everyone stays up to date on them. In conclusion, this whole experience has been amazing, getting to know people from all over the world and chatting with them. I really enjoyed the collaboration of my whole group; I think we did an awesome job.
