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

The digital tools I used to work through this project were Pexels, YouTube, Flickr.com, and Google. Surprisingly, using YouTube as a digital tool was very helpful and provided me with great information about Technetium. Pexels and Flickr.com helped me find good appropriately sited pictures. Of course, Google led me to some substantial articles and websites with factual information that I got inspired from.

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

I investigated Technetium by searching up questions that would further my knowledge about Technetium. I used my own words from the many articles and websites I read from. I didn’t just rephrase; I wrote what I interpreted from what I read.  I knew by cites were reliable because I checked for the author or organization that wrote the cite. I verified the information I got by checking the date it was written and if the URL is legible.

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

I completed this assignment with good effort. I think to improve my skills I could have asked more questions to further my curiosity about Technetium. However, I am proud of my assignment and think I did pretty well. I got a full understanding of Technetium and an open mind to other elements on the periodic table that are less well known. In the future, I will ask more questions and write more about the element, so that I may leave the reader with no questions.
