End Of Year Web Design

Technology

In Web Design this year I have learned a lot of skills in programs such as Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Adobe Flash. I learned these through the various projects we have had throughout the year. I had some challenges with making things move in Flash. One of my strengths was having good content for my web pages and having quality work. One of my weaknesses is getting my work done on time. I have improved on this throughout the year. But i still need to work on my Adobe flash. I would probably change my work ethic in class if i could. 

Collaboration

In Ecomm we had a lot of projects where we had to collaborate. I learned about this from being around and working with people. It is important because in a career as an adult you will have to be able to collaborate with coworkers. Although, I did have some challenges with getting group members motivated to do their work. I am a strong leader and organizer for projects. One weakness I have is that I am a little too critical with some people and then they get mad. I have improved by trying to be more understanding with people but I still have work to do. I will use these skills through out my entire life with coworkers and classmates.

Communication

Communication in ecomm is vital to getting better and getting reviews. I would communicate with the people around me constantly trying to get help with projects or learning new skills. My strengths in this area is I'm a pretty friendly guy so i can talk well with a wide variety of people. One weakness is sometimes I talk too much. I have gotten better with this through the year though and have started getting more of my work done. I obviously will be communicating for the rest of my life so those skills will last forever.

Project Management 

This year i really understood the value of getting projects done on time and making a deadline. In this class we were held to a higher standard than freshman year and needed to do our best to get our work done on time. One of my weaknesses is not being able to get my work done in time. But as the year went on i have gotten better at this and turned in my projects. But i still need to work on the quality. I would change my attitude earlier in the year about the projects.

Leadership

In this class we haven't done a lot of things that involve leading as most the projects were solo but i have learned how to work with others by helping them and getting help back. This is important because you can gain knowledge of how others think of your work and their different styles towards web design. I did face challenges with people earlier in the year not wanting to be friendly and give me advice but thats okay.

Strengths/Weaknesses

One of my strengths is that I am good at finding strong information for different projects. I am very good at scavenging information off the web. But i can always improve on this and find more credible sources. One of my Weaknesses is Adobe Flash. I have gotten better at this through our projects and i have Learned more and more about moving objects in flash. 

What I Would Change

If i could go back and change something this year i would go back and try harder in my 3rd and 4th quarters. I pushed a lot of the projects back and made in very hard on me at the end of the year. So I wish i would have done these when i was supposed to but i made these up and it is better now.

Conclusion

So, In Conclusion of this year, I think it was very successful. I have had a great time in ecomm this year and made a lot of good relationships in this class. I will always remember the fun times i had in here and i hope those relationships last. I will miss being in ecomm but i feel that going to Olathe West is the path I'm supposed to go on.
