E-Communication Final Project: The Weli Plant

Final Project: The Weli Plant

For our final is E-Communication, we were tasked with creating a fact product and then marketing it to a group of teachers and peers. This project took the last half of second semester. It was a challenging project because we worked with a group of people who had not been in our class previously. We used technology from previous rotations, many of which we did not remember. I was glad to have this happen though, because it felt like I was able to relearn things and remember them better. A lot of feedback for our group were suggestions of how to keep everything on track and how to manage our time in each rotation. If I could change something about our work, I would try to manage my time better, so that I could work better on each of the small projects given to me. I really did love the project. I liked the freedom we got with each project, and how we got to decide all aspects of each project.

In class, we all had assigned activities to do. Each activity led to the completion of one part of the marketing campaign. For example, in graphic design we split our group of four into a group of two. Each group of two would work on their own projects and we would all come together occaisionally to talk about our progress in that rotation. We didn't often finish early. The only time we really did finish early was in the animation. Since we all had our own goals, some of us got done earlier that other. In that event, we worked on the website and putting up graphics and starting the goals for the next rotation. For things like the website, we often tried to come in to brainstorm about our goals, since it wasn't a set rotation.

I feel like my area of strength was really leadership. I tried my best to take a leadership role in the group to get things done. This project, I feel, helped me in improving my strengths as a leader, since I did have problems several times. My areas of improvement were also in my leadership. I had a problem with stress over the project, which effected my leadership of several of my group members.

My favourite thing about this project was probably getting to edit videos again. I really loved the video branch E-comm. Getting to edit videos again made me so happy. If I could change anything, I would probably have tried to manage the groups time better. I feel like, if we had done that better we would have had a few better looking finished products. If I had one take away, again it would probably be what I have learned about how to lead a group. My one goal for next year is to turn in my best work possible for my classes.
