Goal 1 – (25%) Global Learning
All of these screenshots are of reflections that I have done this semester and give insight on how I am learning about global issues. The first screenshot shows me learning about how our skin color evolved over generations. The second screenshot shows me learning about Dr. Danielle Lee and her research on rodent behavior, and the final screenshot It shows me learning about Billie Eilish and her actions on helping with climate change.
Goal 2 – (25%) Information Literacy
The first screenshot is of the research question Troy and I wrote for our project. The second screenshot is of one of my annotations in summary of an article going over display methods and museums.
Goal 3 – (25%) Problem-Solving Skills
So my first unit exam is proof of my problem-solving skills. Unfortunately, I didn’t do so well in the first one, but they gave me the goal to build to and a problem to solve so I can improve in my final exam.
Goal 4 – (25%) Quantitative Literacy
The graph above is to represent the different types of display methods and how they would impact the visitors engagement, so this data would suggest that the interactive displays would get more visitor engagement compared to the signage.
