In making my presentation I needed to ask some questions in order to get the correct information, make sure everything was accurate and see if this information was valuable in my presentation, for example, I asked what zirconium was used for and what were its common uses, another one I asked was where did zirconium come from, where did the name and person who found it come from. I also needed to ask if this information was real and if it was being said on other websites. To try and find the answer to these questions I used many different websites, I started with gale engage and I found nothing that had answers or information on my questions so I looked at world book online which had a whole article answering my questions but I still had a few left that hadn’t been answered so I looked on google and found a website named biography on Martin Heinrich Klaproth that had a short paragraph on him that had his birthday, where he was from when he died and different websites said the same information so it was true. Trying to find information on my element was easy at first when I was trying to find simple information but when I started to try and get more difficult questions it was harder to find websites that were true and that gave me a direct answer, so I had to look at different websites that were saying the same thing to see if it was true and make sure that I wasn’t getting false information. When I found a good source of information I copied the URL code at the top ad put it into my slide so it can say where I got my info from. Overall the process of this started off well when I was getting simple and easy-to-find info but started to not go very well when it was getting harder to find all the correct info and finding good sources and pictures was getting harder as well, near the end, it went well and I found everything I needed to answer my questions and get extra for my presentation. I could improve on trying to find better websites and taking more time to find better sources than what I already have.
Great 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 shared some digital tools and cited your sources. Your debrief could have been more detailed but considers what you did well and what you could have improved upon. Make sure you put your responses into sections to make it easier.
