REFLECTION
Creating this podcast was a new and exciting experience. I was able to explore many more website I’ve never used before, along with experimenting with video sound apps, like Audacity. Not only that, but I was able to access informative databases from the school libraries website. 
Our group’s procedure was to break up and research our issue independently, then compile our results in a group word document. After that, we began writing our script then looked over the parts where we may have made spelling and grammar errors.
The lack of resources and information we could access for the school’s information was one of the very challenges we faced. Although it was a little challenging for the two of us to determine whether the school was a day school or boarding school, we eventually located a reliable website with the information we needed.
Communication: what are some ways that you use to communicate your learning?
I have shared my knowledge in a variety of ways, including sharing all our ideas mannerly and respectfully listening to each other when a person is talking. Overall, I think we did really well on the communication part. One thing we could work on would be working together more often. Most of the time, we operate in various locations and record the data we gather in a shared word document. I feel working together would be better because then we could easily communicate and question the information we found.
