24. Final Self assessment

A) Assignments: I completed 15/17 assignments. I think put enough effort into these assignments. I think I started to work really hard at the beginning of this class, but then it started to go down, but I think I'm all caught up now. I think my writing has improved really well from this class. I'm good at making stories and poems, but I think I need to work on making my blog posts longer. 

I've learn to be more responsible for my actions and my learning. I've learn how I write and begin sentences and using periods in the right places and commas and indenting. 

I think I deserve 25% for assignments because they aren't really long assignments but they do make sense and have a purpose. I'm also missing a couple assignments.

B) Comments: I really haven't made a lot of comments on other blogs because I find it kind of hard, I don't really want to argue if it comes to that and normally I will just write really nice things because I can't really say if its not good or they should do this or that. I've commented on like Fernando, Cody,  Diego,  and Allen's blogs posts. I've said things like good job, or I agree with them. I like seeing the comments I get because it makes me write better because I know what I'm doing wrong or when people write nice things, I feel proud of my self. 

 I really like the community learning because I've learned to be independent, responsible and mature. There are many other ways of learning then just listening to a teacher. 

I would give my self 25% for comments.

C) Self regulations: I think I did average on controlling my behavior and learning this semester. I've never skipped, my absents have been excused every time. I have missed 10 classes and I've never been late. I think I'm normally on task, I do get my work done responsibly. When I would miss a class, I'd normally do it at home while I'm a way or get it done right away in class the next day. I think I've helped other self esteem, by helping them with their blogs and teaching them from my own learning. I've never been negative to anyone in this class, I even watched what I say before i comment on a post because I don't want to argue or hurt feelings. I think when I did my genius hour project, I proved to everyone that I've actually wanted to learn about something that I care about and wanted them to learn about it too. 

I've learn that I can be mature and responsible but sometimes lazy. I've learn that I am caring and sensitive. I've learn to work with others and able to handle what people say to me over the comments. I think the only thing I need to change about my self is to not be so lazy and make some goals for my self. 

I think I deserve 30% for self regulations because I think I am responsible for my own actions and I do come to class and learn a lot. 

D) Genius hour: I chose Wi-fi for my project because I think it's important to know about it while everyone is using it at this very moment. I planned my project by doing it in sections, what is it? How to use it and how to access it, all in one movie, with the recording of my voice. I think I used my time wisely when making my project. My peers really liked my presentation, I feel that they learned a lot and they were interested. From the comments I learn that I'm good a speaker and a good presenter. 

The purpose of genius hour is to learn about things on your own, you don't always need a teacher, you can be your own teacher. Mr. Neuf didn't teach me about wi-fi, I learned it on my own, even though he did give me some information I didn't know. I come to school because I don't want to be stupid all my life, I want to at least know some stuff, I like learning about interesting things. I like learning how to be responsible. 

22. the point of this class was

 The purpose of this class is to teach ourselves. We have been taught to be responsible for our own actions. It's our responsibility to come to class, it's our responsibility to do our work and actually care. I come to this class because for me I need to be more responsible and mature. Mr. Neuf doesn't control us, we control ourselves. If I didn't come to class one day, I find ways to catch up, I either do it at home while I'm away or I get it done the next day at school. It's hard to think of things on the top of your head when writing a blog post, so that's why some of us use wiki or YouTube to help us.

23. My genius hour response

When I presented my genius hour project, I thought I did pretty well. Instead of speaking my presentation out loud to the whole class, I recorded my voice into a movie I made. My speaking was clear and loud. The words on the screen was clear to see. I made a lot of sense, so i think everyone learn something from my presentation. I had a lot of information. There were a lot of questions asked.
