What questions did you need to research in order to create your sway?
The questions I used to research information for my sway was:
How was Plutonium discovered?
What is Plutonium used for?
Who discovered Plutonium?
What is the melting point/boiling point of Plutonium?
What is the Periodic Table information of Plutonium?
What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?
I used Google for the most part but I did try to use CC search for some images and Gale Power search for some additional information. I did notice that sway had a CC image search feature so I decided to use that as my image source. I had to go search up the images’ source for myself because Sway did not provide me with the source of the image.
What was the process you used to investigate the topic?
I started off by collecting information and writing down notes in a Word document. When I felt like I had enough information gathered about Plutonium, I started up Sway and started on the actual project part. It was my first time using Sway so I had to figure out some things before I started. Soon enough, my project was finished up.
How did you verify and cite the information you found?
The way I verified that my information was true is that I go on multiple different sites to on the same topic to check if the information that I been reading was true.
How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?
I think that the process of completing this project went pretty well for my first time using Sway. I don’t think it looks the best but I think it is pretty solid for a first time project. There was plenty of information on Plutonium so researching it wasn’t too difficult. I think I could’ve used more of the sources that the instructor provided because that may have gotten me some more trustworthy information and plenty more facts about the element. The current format of my Sway looked like it could use some adjustment so I think I should’ve made it look nicer and more visually appealing.
Excellent information fluency post. I really like how you have found some great sub-questions to lead you to get a well-rounded perspective on your topic. You have done a great job sharing the digital tools you used and citing your sources. Good debrief on your product and process as well!
