Why do we like listening to music -Information Fluency

1) What questions did you need to research in order to create your post?

While we were highly warned against doing such a exceeding question. I was confident we were well planned out and thought through the various aspects we would need to complete just a project. We dived very deep into trying to answer our wonder question using various sites and learning new things. The rewarded us with the multiple sub question we are using now in our sway.

Our Questions include:

What is the auditory perception system?

how does dopamine work?

How does our brain process music?

How does music cause us to feel emotions?

why is music such a sought out coping mechanism?

Why do different people have different music tastes?

 

2) What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?

we used many different cites to find our information including Google, YouTube, Gale, Citation Machine, Creative Commons, this is apparent in our sites we referenced in the last card of our sway. New sites I used included Gale, Citation Machine, Creative Commons while I was already familiar with Google and YouTube. I will defiantly be using creative commons and Gale for non copyright images and as a search engine. I had a lot of fun exploring new sites and with the project overall.

 

3) What was the process you used to investigate the topic and how did you verify and cite the information you found?

I made up all the question myself and gave certain ones to my partner to answer. I found it easy to branch off from the big wonder question and make various sub questions. I either thought of them by thinking of the wonder question like a big picture that I had to include bits a pieces for it to make sense. The other way I thought of questions was searching our big question up in the search engine and then finding questions in the articles about our big wonder question and using those we found in the articles as sub questions.

 

4) How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?

The process of completing the challenge went smoothly as me an my partner both had though of a plan for completion of the project. Communication was easy as we spoke to each other in and out of school as well as schedules detail time to talk and instructions for the other. For the first couple of days, we did not know what we were doing for our wonder question. But with a little help, we figured it out and got straight to work making the Sway. We also decided the process would go faster if we split the research and the Sway up into 2 pieces, a few for each of us. This ended up being a good system to abide by. We completed the sway in a call with our one day extension (thank you for the extension)

One thing I would have liked to have done better on is, working on the project more so we could have gotten it done without the extension. Although there was a few think is needed my partner to do for us to be able to finish it maybe I could have called him during class to finish it.

In conclusion:
This was  a very fun project and I really enjoyed it. I want to thank which ever teacher created it, I found multiple ways to research and will defiantly be applying what i learnt during this project for future ones!
