Xenon – Element Sway
Xenon
by Tarek Diabmarzouk
What questions did you need to research in order to create your sway?
Some questions that I had to research in order to create my sway contained me looking at a variety of different websites and pictures. I had to research things such as, “Who discovered Xenon” to “What is the melting point of Xenon.” It was an exciting process since I learned a lot, and had to always fact-check that everything was true. In other words, while researching something you must be straightforward with your question to find the correct answer. This is something I had to learn the hard way. Therefore, I had to research many questions to create my sway.
What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?
For all my projects, I like to use 3 digital tools. Creative Commons, Google and Gale Databases. For this project, I mainly used Creative Commons and Google. This is simply because I could not find a lot on Gale about Xenon. I’m glad I found good information about Xenon on Google, as well as very nice pictures on Creative Commons. I did not try any new digital tools for this project, but hopefully, on my next project, I will.
What was the process you used to investigate the topic and how did you verify and cite the information you found?
The process I used to investigate the topic was very easy. For every piece of info, I’d find I’d go to several different sites and verify if they all say the same thing. If this was the case I’d put the information in my project, and if it wasn’t, I would not. However, for my citation, it was really easy to do. I put all my links into citation machine and they cited them for me! I love that website.
How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?
The process of completing this challenge was a very smooth one and was not really challenging at all. I found it really easy to do this project, and I can’t wait to do more. Although, on that thought, while doing my future projects I would try to make it a tiny bit longer so there could be more information than the element/subject. I enjoyed creating this project and can’t wait to work on my other one and do even better on it!

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!
