Reflection week 13
Some of the things I have learned while reviewing some of my classmates projects is that there were better ways to write about the conflicts that a team can have. In general I learned that we can use examples from our research that we have gathered to write a better explanation on how we can resolve conflicts in our team so they are more willing to collaborate. I also learned a different format we could use to help bring our paper to look more organized and be easier to follow.

Individual Resource Evaluation, Part 2
Lloyd, C., King, R., & Chenoweth, L. (2002). Social work, stress and burnout: A review. Journal of mental health, 11(3), 255-265.
This article relies on extensive research of social workers and their emotional exhaustion while working with patients. The author of the article is Lloyd King and he goes in depth with his study on the emotional aspects of a social worker and how they have an effect on a team.

Some of the 4 things I feel like would help us complete the project is by revising, proof reading, research, and formulating a front, body and conclusion. These will help us to better complete the project because all of these options help with making the project cleaner and easier to read. It also helps us to better able find the mistakes that we have so we can correct them and provide additional information that helps make the project a lot better. I know that we are gonna have to proof read a lot of it because of all the information that we are gonna have to use to finish this project. I am especially bad at organizing a lot of information together so being able to revise and proofread will help get this project done a lot easier.

As I worked through this project I realize just how important it is to expand my knowledge in my field of work.This is because it is not just going in and helping people but also how I can expand my knowledge to other people. When I did my research on infographics I came to realize that I can better help people if I can inform them in a way that is understandable and easy to follow. In my field of social work we are about helping others in need and in my field specifically it has to do with kids and families. In my time of researching what kind of visualization my field of work does I came to realize how important infographics actually are. They help to provide information on specific topic with the use of pictures and little summaries. This helped me gain more knowledge in how I can use this to better myself as an individual. I am the kind of person that wants to make a difference in this world and being able to use this type of information is going to help me achieve that dream.What I feel like I did not like about the project though was the annotation. Though it is important to inform people where you get your information from I feel like if you are going inform people about the information you want to give them it is more important for them to go look for the information themselves. However, this has it downside as I feel it can lead people astray with what information is true and what information is false. Overall, this project has helped me a great deal in my ever expanding determination to better understand my line of work as a whole.

Play with Sentence Variety and Style
Original
Other cases that infographics are use is to bring awareness to everyday problems. This does not limit to the problems of kids being abused but also could help bring awareness to other problems. Some of these can be problems with intimate violence. Showing the reality in which people lives are going through can help them find people to help them. Getting the resource needed to be able to get a life better for themselves is an ultimate goal for social workers. Sometimes they do not want to get the help but knowing the fact that their are people out there to provide any sort of help can be beneficial. Using infographics with different types of resources that are available and present it in a way that will give these people hopes is helping to make the world a better place.
Revised
Other ways in which infographics are use is to bring awareness to the community. This helps extend the awareness to more variety of complications. When a whole community get involve many people that are having a difficult time can get the resource needed with this type ofinformation is spread throughout the community. Some people do not have access to the help they need and other times do not want to get the help they need. Having a community in which they are welcome in open arms helps build a better life for any individual in need. With the use of infographs able to be used in a variety a ways really shows how strong it can be in the social work field.
What I like about the new sentences is that I ellaborated more on where the everyday problems can take place than just saying everyday problems. Typing about the community is a great aspect of what a social worker works with and changing it in this way is what I like most.
Self-Review Annotations
Some of the issues that were commonly needing to be revised are things that are relevant to my info-graphics topic. I will need to find better articles that explain more on how infographics are used in my field.
W8HW4 Reflect on PR
Something I have learned while peer reviewing is finding out different ways in which I can write in my project. After reading other peoples projects I came to realize I have quite a bit of things I can improve on such as the things I can write and elaborate on.I can use this to create better sentences in my project.

With my field of study the type of information we gather and the people we gather it from we will have to get consent. Due to the majority of the data needed to create a visual data comes from people we have to get consent. We also have to make sure that the data does not disrespect people of race, religion, sexual orientation or gender.

These types of visualization is used after doing extensive social experiments or surveys my field. It is is used to help visualize the most important data collected while doing different experiments or surveys. some of the ethical issues that might come up is the acceptance of other people that the data will be collected from. Since most of the data is collected from people, not knowing if they would allow it can upset other people.

Why graphics are important to my field
Some of the reasons why graphics and visualization are important to my field of study is because it helps us to express the importance of helping families and other peoples. I want to be a social worker for kids in foster care and being able to show the importance of helping these families that are going through this process will help bring awareness on how important it is. I also feel it is important because you can also inspire other people by showing visually how rewarding an experience it is to work in this field of study.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y9jyVpnCBq8zPwAAO_eweMlT2y5khySwXC2aEaTVeLQ/edit
While doing this project I have learned a new way to write. I have always wrote essays regularly and on a variety of different topics, however, this was a new and refreshing way to expand my knowledge in writing. What I feel most proud of is the amount of effort I put into every single instructions. What I am also proud of is that I took the time to learn about a new application in a new and unique way. I feel as if I learned more about this application than simply just using it because I am applying what I learned about the different feature it offered and put it into written instructions. I have used many different applications that I was not too familiar with. For example I had no idea how to use google drawing. I also did not know how to crop different images and how to copy and paste them into a project. I found these tools to be useful because it helped to make the pictures that I was working with more valuable because I could tweak the image to my liking. I was also proud of coming up with clever ways to create a written instruction project. During class I was intrigued by the many ways people wrote instructions. For me I liked the idea of the pictures involved with the instructions because it can navigate people a lot better than just having a written instructions about the applications. Overall, the place that I felt that I got stuck on was what type of features I should explain about in the project. I found this a bit difficult because it the goal of this project was to use an application that I was not too familiar with. This made it difficult to explain about the features in more detail because I was also barely learning how to use the application. Overall, learning about the Prezi application was something I would take me onto my future career as it consists of creating presentations for the community in which I am going work with.

W5HW2 Proofreading
When it came to my own writing I realized that I had to rephrase different instructions to make the reader better able to understand it. I had problems writing legible and understandable instructions and I worked through it and was able to write a lot better than I first wrote the instructions. The steps needed a bit more improvement as well and also learned how to be more concise with my instructions. For example, I sometime run on with my sentences that I did not realize that there were easier ways to explain something in a shorter phrase. That what helped me to write better instructions for this project.
Examples
Examples
Part One: Adding Frames
Step 1: On the left side of the screen click on the up and down arrows that give you the options of circle, rectangle, bracket and invisible frame.
Made more clearer instructions so they can be understood more
Step 1: Select the type of slide you want to use in your presentation
Step 2: Click on the Prezi Slides, and it will take you to the selected slide
more shorter and concise instructions
W5HW1 Emphasis
What I have learned about myself when I revised my project was that there was room for more improvement. I worked on revising my steps a bit more and also the pictures that came along with it. I realized that the more the picture looks readable the better people are able to understand the instructions that I am trying to create. I learned a new technique which involved the snipping tool that is available on my desktop which helps me to be more precise on the pictures that I am creating. Allowed me to better pinpoint important aspect of my pictures that correlates with the instructions that I am trying to explain. Overall, I had a lot of improvement on this project and overall feel good about the final draft of it.

http://sentencechecker.com/
2. Compare items clearly
One of the things I have a problem is knowing how I could compare things. I always try too hard to compare every little thing and know how I can improve on that can help compare things more consitently and effectively. I had trouble because a lot of the times it was tough for me to find things that can be compared and other times do not know if any of it is related to the sane topic whatsoever. Overall, this I feel like can help me to make better judgements when I have to compare certain topics in my future class.
http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/comparing-and-contrasting/
3. Avoid run on sentences
Sometimes I have a hard time putting every thought I have on a subject in shorter sentences. In some of my writing class in my past this is one of the things I have had trouble because I had a lot on my way when it came to a certain topic so I try writing all of it out which resulted in me creating run on sentences. I would like to imporve on this because it is important for me to not drag things out and be more to the point with my sentences. This will help me to create better papers in the future and make help me become a better writer.
http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/fragments-and-run-ons/
4. Avoid comma splices
With this I just want to improve where I put my commas. Since I tend to write so much and run on my sentences I sometimes do not know that there are places I would need to put a comma at or not. Overall, it is not too much of a problem but it is something I would like to improve so my papers can be easier to read and understand.

W4HW5 Plan Design Revisions
The way I would revise my project is that I will have to extend the amount of instructions than what I had originally. I will also have to add more descriptive pictures because some of the pictures I had did not appeal to the person that reviewed my project draft. I will have to add more pages as of right now I have only three and I can add instructions on different features and how to go about it. I will have to edit more of the pictures of what I had so it be easier to read. Another thing I will revise on is the page layout as some of the students project I saw had more appealing format than what I had. Overall, I will add more instructions, better quality pictures and add a different format to improve my project.
W4HW4 P#1 Usability
I had my brother use my instruction and what I found most interesting was how simple it was for him to take what I had and follow the instructions. The only questions he asked me was what else did Prezi had to offer than creating slides. This made me realize that I can add a more elaborate way of working with Prezi. Some of the things i have jotted down was how engaged he was with the different types of templates Prezi had to offer. His reactions were simple and straight forward because he did not have any difficulty reading the instructions. So all in all I would change more of the pictures that I have provided and add more engaging instructions on certain features than what I have now.

What I have learned is figuring out new ways to create a written instructions guide with regards to the way it can be formatted. Some of these includes how some of the pictures can be configured to appeal more to the reader. This is what I felt was most important because with me when it comes to reading instructions it is more helpful when you have a visual guide and being able to create a good effective guide for your reader is beneficial. I learned that I needed to adjust and many other things to my project such as more descriptions on the feature of my application and learned ways on how to do that. I learned that there are different ways I could of done this project and found it most helpful.

W3HW2 P#2 Outline
Three of the main functions I would to to explain is the prezi templates, pasting pictures, and the text box. Prezi is a basic presention tool that is not too difficult to work work. Some of the main feature that it has are its pasting pictures features, text tool and templates. The prezi templates provide unique visualization on how the presentation will look. For example is has a clock graphic feature where it has circles to place different types of pictures or text that you can you to create a presentation. It is mainly use for visual appeal which can help your presentation be more appealing to other you are presenting to. The pasting pictures feature allows you to paste pictures of whatever your topic you are trying to present. Lastly, the text box feature allows you to place in the boxes of your prezi presentation which allows you to convey your message. It is overall, a more simple powerpoint presentation application.

Some of the things I read about Prezi is just how easy it is to use. I am able to develop a great presentation and provide great visuals to keep people interested in what I am saying.

W1HW1 Chapter 3 Exercise 3
Proofread the following paragraph.
Original
People who have federal student loan can apply for program from the Department of Education that is intended to give relief to former students with moderate incomes by sketching the payments out over a longer period. The program calculates monthly payments on the basis of income. In addition, the program forgave balances after 25 years (10 years if the the person chooses employment in public service). The monthly payment calculation, called income-based repayment (IBR), determined by the size of the loan and the persons income. For some 90 percent of the more than one million people who have already enrolled, the IRB works out to less then 10 percent if their income. The program also caps the payments at 15 percent of a persons income over $16,000 a year (and eliminates payments for people who earn than $16,000)

I feel like it will help me learn how to be organized and also learn how to present strong presentation in the future in my career.
