Time line

What do I want to do in the future. The first thing that I want to do in this timeline is to complet all my assignments that I have for this class before winter break. There are some blog post that I would like to get done before the end of next week. When we get back after the break, I would like to slowly start making films.

Developing Quality Workflow

Developing Quality Workflow

Work•flow /ˈwərkflō/

“The sequence of industrial, administrative, or other processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion.” – lexico.com

What is a quality workflow?  How do we develop it?  Below are elements of the production cycle that most creative people move through as they create something.  First, we must identify the stages of project production. What is each stage and what are the quality checks for each stage.  Read on and find out!

 

Stages of Creation Development

Inspiration

How do we find ideas to develop?

Look at other things that you are wanting to get inspiration from

You should try to think of something and if that doesn’t work then try going for a walk

IF you think if it is good enough then it could be good quality

You do

Intention

How do we clarify our specific goal(s) for a project?

You should use a list of things that you would like to do

Trial and error

You can see if other people like what you have

You do

Pre-production

How can we brainwrite, brainstorm, storyboard, and plan our ideas at this phase?

You can use Trello

I think timing yourself would be good.

If you think it is good and other people like them it could be good.

You do

Production

How do we communicate with each other and execute our plan for this phase? This is where we actually make the project.

You could use email to communicate

You could follow the storyboard

You could see how people feel about what you have made and if you like it as well then it could be good quality

You do

Post-production

How do we communicate with each other and execute our final stages of the project for this phase? This is where we publish the project.

You could use a shared drive to communicate

You should use a timer and see how long it would take to do something

If you and other people are happy with it then it could be good quality

You do

Presentation/Performance

How do we share our project with our learning community, advisory members, and the world?

You should use youtube

You should use a planer that you could use

If other people like it then you should be ok with it

You do

Feedback

How do we conduct a feedback session at the end of the project development cycle?

You should use email

You should use the rubric

    • Get up and go for a walk
    • Every 20 minute blink your eyes 20 times while looking at least 20 feet away

  • Then, go for a 15-minute walk, if it is safe to do so

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

  • Write only a few sentences of WHAT YOU LEARNED
  • In one or two sentences, describe a PROBLEM YOU SOLVED
  • DELETE ALL OF MR. LE DUC’s INSTRUCTIONS, AFTER YOU ARE DONE

Something that I learned is how I should manage my time to do my school work and get this done.  It is nice that I learned how to do this because it has helped me out a lot.

A problem that I had was that I was taking too long to do some assignments so the way I solved them, was by using a timer.

Recipe For Success: Martin Luther King Jr.

Recipe For Success: PLACE PERSON’s NAME HERE

Image at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin_Luther_King,_Jr..jpg 10-15-2020

Born: January 15, 1929, Atlanta Georiga

Personal Success Definition

I define success as someone who is able to reach their goal or other things that they want like achieving things.

Martin Luther King Jr. was successful because of some reason and one of those reasons is because his dream came true. One of his dreams was that white and black people would live together in peace and that did come true. It may have taken a little bit to happen, but it did happen.

Skills for Success

Martin Luther King Jr. had a 1) good vocabulary, 2) Bachelor’s in Sociology, 3) was a smart man. Ever since Martin Luther King Jr. was young, he was always trying to improve his vocabulary. He was accepted into Morehouse college at the age of 15 by passing the exam that you need to get into the college and because of that, he was a very smart man. He ended up getting a bachelor’s in Sociology when he graduated.

How They Used These Skills

He used these skills to be able to make his point better. By having a better vocabulary, I think it could have a better impact on people but, because he had a better vocabulary he could have better speeches than other things like books and or news articles. Since he had a bachelor in Sociology, I think it may have made it better when it came to his speeches because he would know how people would react. Since he was a smart man, I think he would know what not to put in a speech to make people think that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and making the entire speech useless.

Martin Luther King Jr. had to deal with a lot of things when trying to make his dream come true. He had to deal with being thrown in jail for fighting for his rights. He ended up getting threatening phone calls but, he kept going, and eventually, his dream became true.

Significant Work

This is one of the most famous speeches that Martin Luther King Jr. has done. He had this speech on August 28, 1963.
